From the article; "The very first woman in the United States — and probably the world — to publicly call for the female vote was Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a confirmed agnostic. Stanton instigated and planned, with Lucretia Mott, Mary Ann McClintock, Jane Hunt and Martha C. Wright, the historic first women’s rights convention on July 19-20, 1848. Stanton’s call for women’s suffrage at the Seneca Falls Convention was considered almost too shocking to utter. The suffrage plank, though much-disputed, not only won endorsement there but would galvanize women for the next 72 years." DJT...lying again...to the #religulous sheeple.

He just wants to defund the abortion arm of PP. Now if he wants support...all he has to do is say "I'll give my support to family planning in place of de-funding the abortion business"...then he'd get support. He said he would "partially defund the Planned Parenthood abortion business and deprive it of as much as $60 million in taxpayer dollars". This action adds to President Trump’s record of defunding the Planned Parenthood abortion company. I'm not defending him...just saying he's trying to do what the evangelicals tell him to do...which we agnostics know is sick.

Robecology comments on Feb 24, 2019:

Robert Reich is an interesting political scientist. I like his views...but I think he's being too optimistic, here. I don't see Trump resigning...and if there's more in-fighting among the democrats...I foresee a very unclear front-runner in 2020. That coupled with Trump's clever ways of lying and putting out and/or tweeting controversial remarks - I'm afraid - seriously afraid - we're in for 4 more years. I seriously hope the DNC works to make the debates clear, and brings all the candidates to a unified front early. - but I doubt it. Trump may be "fired" - but I don't see him quitting - nor being defeated. -

NEW YORK - NO GROW Marijuana Companies Urged Governor To Ban Cannabis Home Cultivation, Document ...

Robecology comments on Feb 23, 2019:

Way too much focus on a simple problem with, what appears to me, to be a simple solution. There's very little, if any, record of anyone growing their own tobacco, or making their own whiskey or wines, No one is on record for growing and harvesting Opium - even though it's apparently easy to do. The same will be true for pot. Home grown will become just a personal, local hobby. If there's reasonable commercial pricing, consistency, and marketing techniques - it just won't be worth trying to make money with "home grown". Yes, it is a "weed" so it's easy to grow....and more than some are already side-stepping "dealing" with the black market by using home grown....so as long as it stays illegal I can foresee a strong home-grown market. But that will end once the value of commercially marketed cannabis becomes evident. And as a home-grower for personal use...I look forward to the day I can buy commercially packaged and regulated product.

Coal and even petroleum's days are numbered. So glad that wind and solar technology are finally catching on. Looking forward to big strides in offshore wind farms this year. Glad Nuclear's demise is finally real.

I do not believe in a personal god and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.

Whenever anyone expresses an interest in Einstein i always refer them to this classic interview. Very detailed....a good hour or two reading...but that was the Saturday Evening Post back in the 1920's... http://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/wp-content/uploads/satevepost/what_life_means_to_einstein.pdf

Story time! I bought a couple of beautiful bananas yesterday with the idea of banana cream ...

Still damned good looking...and lower in fat, higher in protein...a very healthy treat!

This is SO relatable to me.

I've had to explain why I didn't want to go to craft fairs to sell my shell frames. I've given them as gifts, and kept the nicest ones for myself...and that's about it. I don't want a full time project. I found out it's valuable when i visited the "Shell man" and Shell world stores in the Keys; similarly framed mirrors sell for hundreds. I'm just happy knowing whoever received them knows they have a valuable craft-art creation.

Oh, I needed to hear this today! "Beautiful" by Carole King: [youtube.

I applaud the "enhancement" thing...you have one life to live; if you know that enhancing your boobs makes you more attractive to more people, can earn you more money - then go for it. I'd throw my money at them if they'd return the favor of their company...

Good morning all.

Robecology comments on Feb 21, 2019:

G'morning! Coffee...clean windows...more coffee....lunch...more coffee...shopping?

When a rat is cornered it will do unusual things. The rats are cornered. They know they're on a sinking ship. Their vocabulary and I.Q. are limited. They're angry, and upset. They're often naive, and #religulous. Realize that they are ill. Empathize. Ignore, or console them. They're suffering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW9R6jgE7SQ

Good morning, it's almost Friday! I am so much looking forward to the coming months! Chuck ...

It's interesting that you bring up "living close/not so close to siblings". It's been a major issue for me. I moved out of NY (my "home" state) to Florida in '77. My parents weren't too happy - but tolerated it and visited often...and I visited them. I recall driving with a 3 month old to visit my dying dad in 1980. Now I've moved further away from my son...by only one hour (it's now a 2 hour drive) and he's still "hurt" by the move. He rarely visits. Only 2 times since I've moved up here in 2015. He - and she expect me to drive to see them. He now has a grandson, 3, and is doing far better than I did, financially, as a teacher...I think he's well above $100k income. I never saw that. So - to answer the question - I'm looking forward with mixed feelings to visiting them. He insists it's "too much trouble" to travel on weekends, with a 3 year old. That may be so? I do have a great new car...so maybe I shouldn't complain? Feedback welcome.
