@WilliamFleming Tell that to the "Cult" who are currently calling themselves the U.S, Senate (Republican Party). Are they trying to work toward a future where all Americans are treated with respect? If so, then why are they helping this New York City Mafia Don Paranoid Schizophrenic Talk Show Host con artist use the Country as his own personal Ego defense mechanism? What do they (virtually all from Southern States) stand to get out of destroying what everybody keeps telling me is the greatest country in the world?
It isn't Donald Trump who is tearing up our Constitution. It is them with the help of Russia and others! They are bitter from being the ones who lost their precious "Confederacy of Greed" 170 years ago and have been trying to "Rise Again" ever since. Wake up, America! The trouble with the average American is that they know, and are told nothing about what lies outside their own nationalistic "Father Land". I have lived in four other countries but mainly in Spain (which was under a fascist Dictator for 40 years and will never forget what it was like)
If you want to see what this country really is, you have to step away from it, The average American knows nothing about anything outside their boarders. We don't even see International news on TV anymore. I'll grant you the South does not have a monopoly on bigotry and we all have a lot to learn about respect for all people, but we are not the "United States" anymore, and never were.

Even if that were true, I still say that there may have been unofficial discrimination a generation or two ago but they weren't hanging from trees with their balls stuffed in their mouths and dragged behind pickup trucks and bludgeoned by police and attacked by hoses and dogs.

He has control of two and 1/2 branches of government and it's just starting. THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED and there is nothing anybody can do about it. At least Bernie is trying. If everybody wimps out, what hope do we have? I'll vote for anybody they put up. Maybe it will be Blumberg. At least that would be fighting fire with fire. That man who chastised me for exaggerating the Hitler connection is in denial. Just watch Trump and don't be surprised if they set fire to "The "Reichstadt" and blame it on the Democrats.

Also, remember Trump telling us in 2015 he's financing his campaign with his own money. Yeah, right! He never paid for anything with his own money. Even his golfing trips to Maralago cost US nearly $200,000,000 last year! At least Bernie (who doesn't have money) uses grass-roots funding and sticks to his message instead of proffering whatever is currently popular with his doting base. BTW, according to a recent (Washington Post?) pole, He, Biden and Blumberg are currently running at around 70-75% national projection to beat Trump, but that's only if it's a real, honest election, so don't hold your breath.

It also housed the first US Naval Academy (ca. 1820). Look it up.

Sounds intriguing!
Solid arguments against religion have the most impact on those who are not religious. That's because they require logic, reason and critical thinking. For the religious person, these applications are only for things not having to do with their God.

Sadly, it's easier to assign those applications to "faith". It requires a lot less observing, reading and just plain thinking!

In the book, the scientist who expounds on the theorem is murdered by Opus Dei or some such cult before he can reveal it to the public (of course!)

Caterpillar close-up. The spikes looked dangerous.
flower_nut comments on Mar 2, 2019:
Very nice! I hope to get some good close-ups this year. This photo shows how close I can get with my iPhone 7. I hope to get closer with a couple of different cameras a Panasonic DMC-ZS45 and a Nikon p900.
It's a whole new world down there!:)
fishline79 replies on Mar 10, 2019:
Any proper camera can get this close but I am amazed the I Phone can too!

I'd really rather be out riding my bicycle but the temperature is 10 deg. F! But I'm kind of a traditionalist but I'm enjoying this.

Nice. What software is this?
fishline79 replies on Jan 21, 2019:
NCS Photo Pad Image Editor. Cheap, but not that good, but whatever I use I enjoy exploring possibilities. These are all expansions of artworks I have produced or photos I have taken so I feel I can justify calling them originals.

These are technically multi media works of art but the final step is digital photographic.

One reminds me a little of the abstract remains of fine ground coffee (more like mud), after swirling in my cup.

RichieO comments on Jan 17, 2019:
If the final work is digital media does it reduce the value by being easily copied and stolen?
fishline79 replies on Jan 17, 2019:
I'm sure it does, but I have never had any success selling my artworks, so I don't much care!
