Comment Re:And nothing of value was lost (Score 3, Insightful) 101

We had two different TV series that successfully "rebooted" Sherlock Holmes on at the same time, and the rebooted Battlestar Galactica is the only version most people even think about any more. Reboots/reimaginings, as a concept, are fine, and blanket classifying them otherwise is a tired viewpoint to keep having.

> Personally, If I have to choose between parties, I will choose the one that opposed slavery, opposed segregation, and currently supports individual rights and free speech (the GOP) over the party that owned the slaves, wrote and enforced every single damnable Jim Crow law, founded the KKK, craves total government control over everything and everybody, finds the Constitution a "charter of negative liberties" that is obsolete, and demands the right to take anything you have and prevent you from saying what you think (the Democrats).

OK, now I can't trust a thing you say about the current parties because you've ignored nearly half of the history in the time period you've listed. You'd be picking the Democrats any time after the Civil Rights era, including the present. One party is currently preventing teachers from answer kids' questions, and forcing teachers to report on and "out" kids because for some reason parents can't be expected to pay attention and listen to their own kids at home. One party is keeping books off of shelves until they've been "vetted", on whatever vague timetable that might involved. Only one party keeps closing voting centers cycle after cycle, making registering to vote harder for citizens, making it illegal to pass out drinking water to voters in line, and dragging their feet when it comes to reinstating the voting right to ex-convicts who've served their time. One party doesn't think the history of slavery and all of its horrors need to still be taught to students. And surprise, it's not the party you've picked.

If you didn't think there was a homeless problem in the 80s, you are at best willfully blind.
