@futurebird I'm guessing that he wasn't sure who would want which documents, so he just took them all and copied the ones that were requested. Sort of like one of those print-on-demand book publishers.

@urbanfoxe @GreenFire @Bwheatnyc That's not right; that right there could influence the jury. I'm done being polite. Next time something like that happens top me, I'm finding a way to change that channel, one way or another.

A "Keystone Species" is a species that holds together an eco-system, without which the whole system may crumble. Naturalists may divide their effort to help save this other endangered species or that unique symbiotic relationship, but a more reliable and less labor intensive solution would be to focus their efforts on the Keystone Species.
Fox "News" is the Keystone Species of the eco-system of hate. They want us to run around dividing our efforts on all the different things they attack, when it is much more effective and less labor intensive to focus on the Keystone Species. If we focus our efforts on getting rid of Fox, the entire eco-system of hate will collapse.

Premise 1. An informed electorate is essential for functioning democracy
Premise 2. Science is the best way we have for finding out the truth
Conclusion. Anti-science is anti-American

An average person thinks, "I'm smart. They can't fool me."
A smart person thinks, "anybody can be fooled. I'd better be careful."

@JessTheUnstill That is the history DeSantis doesn't want kids to learn. They are proud of the bigotry, but history teaches that bigotry is always the loser..

@StillIRise1963 Oh my god, I am SO sick of his stupid face. I will celebrate when he dies.

@nerdybutcute This place has fewer of those people than Bird-chan does, but there are a few around. They are like bugs. Say you drop a piece of cake and the bugs come out to get some. You can react in one of two ways. You can be upset because now you have bugs, or you can say to yourself, "Hmm, now I know where the bugs are at." and go get the bug spray.
If you need some bug spray, let me know. I'm glad to help.

@bonifartius It only took 25 years after the end of WWII before man stepped foot on the Moon. If we had kept the same rate of advancement, we would have flying cars and hotels on Mars. Instead, we elected Reagan.

@SkepticalLeftist IMHO, those in the second group are just as bad as, if not worse than, those in the first group.
