Are they born that way?
I know I was. And if someone “self identifies” as straight, but shows signs of arousal by the same sex, they’re not straight, they’re bi. I don’t understand why the concept of a spectrum, a distribution from pure homosexual through bisexual to pure heterosexual, skewed toward the latter, is such a hard concept for people to get their heads around.
Over $200 trillion dollars? Sadly, give our current policies, I can believe it.
Well, that didn’t take long.
For background, here’s the story.
Heading for a polar “orbit”? Well, if so, at least it won’t overfly Japan.
The JOBS Act won a cloture vote in the Senate. There was a lot of fear that the Senate would muck it up with a lot of inhibiting requirements, but now it will go on for a vote.

I think that it’s become pretty clear that regardless of the status of climatology per se, many of its leading practitioners, or at least, most-public proponents, have shown themselves to be pseudoscientists. And specifically, I mean Michael Mann, Phil Jones, and James Hansen among others (not to mention the disgraceful and disgraced Peter Gleick).
The real ones, not the figurative ones. A trust has been established to take care of them.
An Italian town has outlawed death.
When death is outlawed, only outlaws will die.
Salazar lied.
Shocking, I know.
