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

If breaking a confidentiality agreement with a porn star mistress is worth $20 million dollars what is the oath a president takes to protect and uphold The Constitution worth? Is there enough money in the Universe for not keeping that promise?

Moldy and waterlogged and tasteless and laden with bacteria. Fair is fair. A word with which he is unfamiliar. But then his vocabulary is at a level of a backward slow grammar school student so. we can't expect him to know what he does not know now can we?

In the "Student Prince" it is the story line. Loving someone who is not an appropriate match and being duty-bound to marry a princess and leaving behind his true love. I'm sure it happens in real life as well. I think that's sad. What do YOU think? Would you fulfill your obligations to your country or abdicate/run away/marry for love?

If the wealthy paid $1 million before the cuts and after the cuts pay $10,000 how is that not FREE MONEY in the amount of $990,000 to the already wealthy who don't need it? Billions of free money in the form of tax cuts made the corporations giddy! Everyone loves the free money. Especially the wealthiest among us. They want more for themselves and decry the poor wanting more too. Selfish. Greedy. That seems to come with the territory of the obscenely wealthy. There are of course some exceptions. Rare. Noteworthy. less

It is the person not the thing itself that controls appreciation. A student getting a grant or scholarship( for whatever reason) that facilitates his/her going to university when otherwise the student couldn't is very much appreciated. Working to earn the money to go college is not easy. Getting a helping hand here and there when you can is greatly appreciated. There are student loans of course but they are not "gifts". You have to pay them back. The student debt can be crushing and take years maybe decades to pay off. What's wrong with helping the kids out? less

IN 1967 Martin Luther King Jr. talked about it. Finland is starting a program that will pay $600/month to 2000 citizens for a limited tmie. Ontario, Canada will pay $12,600 a year to certain residents for a limited period of time. They are testing the idea out to see what benefits may accrue from it.Machines are taking away jobs. Robots too. UBI helps people to bridge the gap between available jobs and the need for them. Also it is needed to counteract the effects of growing income inequity in the United States.Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs plans to implement the program this year. The money for it will come from the SEED program by the Economic Security Program who will provide $1 Million for it. The plan is to pay $500/month to certain people for 3 years. less
Normally they take a picture of you license plate and mail you the bill. Does the rental car place absorb that cost or somehow bill you a month or so water for the tolls?

Members of our intelligence community cannot afford to be naive/ingenuous/trusting.Underestimating them may be the donjohn's undoing. He is not as smart as he thinks he is. He is not as anything as he thinks he is. Izzy?

I think he just might do it and then North Korea will invade and South Korea will never be able to pay off their defiscit. it would also cost quite a bit of money to move the troops so not only would the US never get the deficit squared up they will have a huge moving expence. Plus a lot of people are going to suffer. Cheers and happy weekend!
