Maybe Australia just isn't worth the effort? :) Tom

I haven't seen it in years. But back in the late 1900's I saw an optimistic political cartoon. It depicted Earth from space. Missiles were shooting out from all sides. Across the top it read "When computers rule the world" Across the bottom (in that quaint old type that indicated computer) it...

Abrahamic culture, from the ancient Israelites to modern Teapartiers to Muslims, are all like that. Christians both developed global transportation and weaponized gun powder before any other cultures. We raped and looted the planet before the Muslims. And so we are wealthier and more powerful...

Why do you Trump supporters hate American democracy and values? Tom

It didn't take me two seconds to autocorrect his autocarrot, but I got a grin out of it. Tom

Compared to Trump? Ya know, the President that you support? The Christianist? The philandering bankruptcy expert, who's greatest achievement was a reality TV game show? Which had the famous tag line "You're Fired!" I don't much care about who New Yorkers choose for mayor. But frankly, if...
