Wikipdedia says that 86% of El Salvadorians have native American Heritage. How can anyone take arguments for their deportation seriously, when they are spewing from the mouths of first or second generation Eropean-Americans. It just seems hypocritical. I do have a serious quetion 'though. As a 2nd

Re: [FRIAM] on Feynman, again

Good Article. It portrays Robinson as a maverick but still a scientist who is ultimately interested in the truth. I respect that. My question is how does someone who respects truth get along with the Heartland institute, which I have always thought of as a well funded machine for corporate

Re: [FRIAM] Stop Calling People "Low Information Voters" | Quillette

Sorry, but I found the first article very disturbing. It seems like an opinion piece that might have come out during the rise of the Nazi party. It blames the 'parasitic educated' class, praises the virtues of the military service, and argues in favor racial segregation. My very shallow reading on
