They look backward and seek a time that used to be that was more comforting to them. What is so valuable back in time that they would invest their energies and powers to backwardism?

Does every little insult gnaw at your gut and the only way to stop it is to double down, hit back tenfold and then keep attacking attacking attacking attacking attacking? Small little weak people do that. They must be adored and worshipped and obeyed or there is he** to pay. The confident people let things slide off their backs and ignore the irrelevant unimportant to focus on the things that matter. I don't know how many "dissidents" Putin has had murdered. Duterte in the Philippines? Assad in Syria? All madmen despotice dictators. The template for all future "leaders"? less

Why were you there if not to judge guilt/innocence?

Yet millions have and will and continue to do so. They don't think twice about the absurd rationalization in which they indulge in order to do so. They are opportunists. When the religious dogma goes against what they want to do they simply ignore it. Weird. Sad. Typical.

Were they rewarded with feelings of having contributed to the advancement of mankind or punished by regret?

The Russian "election" result is a foregone conclusion. A sure thing. A YOOOOGE joke.Putin is a person who always gets what he wants. Donjohn admires that and wants that for himself along with anything that wears skirts and isn't nailed down. His supporters deny him nothing and want for him everything he wants for himself which is everything there is. Like indulgent parents whose lives revolve around their golden child who can do no wrong. SIGH. less

Even the religious folks. So whatever she has to say they don't care. We anti-donjohns don't care because there is nothing she can say that will shock us. We expect the very worst from him and don't care. So since no one cares just ignore the whole thing. Don't deny. Don't lie. Don't sue. Just get on with the business of running a country for goodness' sakes! Why is it so hard for him to do that? He doesn't have a reputation he needs to protect. We all know what he is. So what's the big deal? less

Liberal Arts covered languages and literature and philosophy and architecture and psychology and history. No science or math. No physics which I regret now because of my fascination with quantum physics. Who knew at age 18 it would be a field that would capture my imagination decades later? So did you study what you needed to support your interests today? Are you what you studied to be and are you happy? less
