    Given the number of anti-abortion religious types and the personal greed of "haves," I don't have one. My bet is on a catastrophe where someone uses biotechnology to reduce the population.

    He just may be. But one thing is a certainty. He lives in the minds of you anti Trumpers 24/7/365.

    It is democrats who are rounding up their political enemies, trying them in prime time kangaroo courts just before the midterms, and jailing them. They are also guilty of trying to suppress over 70 million voters from voting for Trump. Talk about vote suppression! Why not let the voters vote? If Trump is so bad then you have nothing to worry about by letting the voters vote.

    Whataboutism means you agree with me. You could have just simply liked my post.

    I do not believe a cult who allows their leaders to jet around the world in private jets, not following their own friggin rules.

    So you say. Spending your time going after messengers instead of examining the message says a lot more about you than it does about them.

    You assume that I haven't 'heard' the message. I've been hearing it for years, from more informed sources then a young lady who is quite full of herself, and making a profit from it.

    She is a tool of those who seek to benefit from politicizing the message. I have every right to criticize the puppeteering that goes along with paid activists.

    So, once again, turning a blind eye (or ear, as it may be) to those who carry hypocrisy on high does not reflect well on you. I

    Media is a product that will always sell what people are eager to consume. You gave them a good story, people tuned in, and advertisers paid them for the exposure. They use that money to fund their lobbying efforts and use their reach for political purposes.

    Personally, I do not watch the news. When I started going to the gym, they had the news playing on screens on every wall.

    Before going to the gym, I was out of shape and uninformed. Now I am in shape and misinformed! :)

    No, it says I'm not into virtue signaling. I'm prepared to do my share while you, of course, are not prepared to do yours. Find a liberal to wind up with your nonsense.
    Absurd. Global warming is real. You're pretending it's a hoax.

    I've made the point many times that environmentalists have lost middle class support because their fixes put too much of the burden on lower- and middle-income folks. We could force rich folks to sacrifice ... limit maximum home sizes to 5000 sq. ft., put a 500% tax on corporate jets, etc.

    We weren't lobbying the school board—it was understood by all we were outright trying to get rid of extremist board members. Fighting the garbage dump involved scaring the pols, encouraging them to change their position without any penalty for their earlier stance.
    I exercise in my basement in front of a tv. I watch YouTube where I teach myself something I don't know.

    So, caught in your own logic trap, you flail. Fun to watch. When Leo sets sail, ever 7 miles is a years worth of one car's yearly output of CO2. Perhaps you might dissuade mr Di Caprio from doing that? You know, to be consistent and all?

    In public fights, yes. I was careful to protect my public persona when I was in a political fight.

    There is no overpopulation. There is under-honesty, under-justice, under-liberty, under-intelligence, under-honesty, under-wisdom, under-courage and under-honesty, but there is no overpopulation.
    Superhuman artificial intelligence (SAI) is another candidate, and it could also happen by accident.

    Not me. I'm also a Canadian citizen and don't even have to live here.
