Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

California has had one party rule for a while, yet infrastructure projects there seem to be very slow and take forever. One of the most notorious examples is the abortive “High Speed Rail” which is billions over budget, years late, and so far only has firm plans to run between Bakersfield and Merced...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

MattY, so why bother being Anabaptist at all, since you keep saying isn’t superior or closer to following Jesus than a typical evangelical with his “Trump Won in 2020” bumper sticker, complete immersion in the world save for a few hours on Sunday morning, and a lifestyle where they lose nearly all o...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

This is very basic separation of powers, Boot. I can't tell what you are agreeing with me or disagreeing with me about. Are you responding to something in what I posted? If so, what?

Yes, you’ve expounded at length on why the acts of gross violence perpetrated by the north are OK as long as they were for a good cause.

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

I think I would sell anything I would buy.

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
