Congratulations on such a disingenuous response and analysis. Your grasp of Constitutional law and the principles that underpin it is staggering in it's shallowness. Let me bottom-line it for you, genius. Citizens United was a "valid ruling" because it was within the purview of the SCOTUS to do so. Period. It granted certain rights and privileges to a legal construct which no reasonable person would equate with a citizen of the U.S. Nor would a reasonable person miss the fact that those legal constructs are granted certain privileges that citizens do NOT enjoy and that they can and do often wield those privileges to the marked disadvantage of those citizens. But by all means, keep living in your Rand fan-boy world.

This. A thousand times, this! "Citizens United" notwithstanding, corporations are not people, and certainly not citizens. They should exist only as construct that is explicitly and implicitly subordinate to government and the citizens that the government exists to serve.

Your damned right. The ability to take actions and against citizens and their property, and to then be able to hide those actions from public scrutinty is a hugely dangerous thing. My gawd, the potential for abuse is...
Oh... wait.
You actually think that such assaults on our Constitutional rights are a good idea? You are an imbecile.

A while back, I drove a friend's 1968 Mustang GT (302 motor, 230 HP). It was exciting, but the suspension was crude, making it difficult to keep it between the ditches when you really stomped the gas. Frankly, I think the car tried to kill about three times in a half a block. Modern vehicles, even with twice the horsepower, are much better behaved. Hell, my six cylinder 2016 Chevrolet Colorado has just over 300 HP and it's a pussycat, even when you turn all of the ponies loose. Granted it's got more wheelbase than that classic Mustang, but it is a light-in-the-ass-end pickup. Traction control and 21st century shocks make a bit of a difference.

As for exhaust note at idle, for my money, nothing tops this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Granted, it takes a few tries to get 'em all lit, but when all 28 (yes, 28) cylinders are firing, there's nothing like it.

Well, no. I didn't reject the notion of PCs, or ecommerce. I do reject the notion of "AI" becoming a thing in my lifetime. First of all, what's being hyped as AI is not AI, as AI has been defined. At most, we're talking about "machine learning", not the same thing at all.

If they live at Amazon, they aren't homeless. You see? American is great again, thanks to be big business.

This has been the key page in the GOP's playbook for decades. Abortion and gay rights are a guaranteed dog whistle to the typical, so-called conservative voter. Now that the gay rights thing is all but settled (and to my LGBT friends, yes. I know that there are still many who think it's not and who bear watching), the new threat invented by the Right is the MtF transgendered using the women's restroom. That one will keep getting them elected for another ten years or so. Meanwhile, the interests of those fearful tools of the GOP, who voted "to protect the children", are going to be shat upon, again.

Jeez... Ya think?
Seriously, campers. This is how it works. In the U.S. Senate, campaign contributors are the constituents, not the voters. You can fix this, but you have to start getting involved and supporting candidates who will support a Constitutional amendment that will remove corporate money from U.S. politics. https://movetoamend.org/

Well, yes, but not in this area. What's your point?

Your conclusion does not follow the premises provided. You fail Logic 101. And that would explain why you're a Trump apologist.

So it's the killing you object to then, and not the beliefs. Have I got that right? Good, because I agree with you completely. Religious doctrine, the xtian bible for example, is full of dangerous ideas that no sane person would believe enough to actually act on. That doesn't mean the whole religion is bad or it's followers inherently evil. Right?

Would you have Rosie get my suit out of the ultrasonic dryer for me? And tell Elroy to pick up his room. I'm going to walk the dog.

Because nobody else has mentioned it. And besides, I usually resort to "top five" because no one film in a given genre really captures it all. So, in no particular order...

Interesting. Kind of explains the popularity of jacked-to-the-sky pickemup trucks.

This. The entire Internet still thinks I was born on December 7, 1941. You know, "A day that will live in infamy."
