Those unaware of Alinsky buy the self-serving change in terminology as being more accurate, not self-serving. Climate change is used because their predictions were beginning to fall apart and they knew they were. One can't argue that the climate is changing, so lie about those who disagree with your rationale and agenda. It's a standard political attack.
You have stats for that or is it just cynicism? Nothing wrong with learning by rote. Multiplication table is a good example. Same for the chemical chart and a great slew of other things people in their fields use daily.
Please. You ever hear of a sliding curve? That's when the top score (say 85%) causes the prof to add 15% to everyone's grade so there's an A and the rest stack up against that fictitious grade. The result is that if the best student only learns enough to get one damned half of the answers right, that's an A and those who would normally flunk out get C's or better.
The college I finished my bio degree at had those. In BiPsych in particular I made it my quest to hit 100%. Usually hit the high 90's and caused around half a dozen to drop. I didn't want to see anyone who couldn't cut that class out messing with people's brains.
It kind of amazes me that people are so afraid of death. It's not like you're going to avoid it. Everyone takes that ride, why fear it? Don't seek it, surely, but why the terror of death itself? Fear being mangled by a lion or splatted by a truck? Sure, I get that, but that's the fear of the pain, not death itself. Ibid dragging on with some disease.
I've never understood this in people on a personal level. I understand they don't know what to expect on death, but I don't get the terror of dying. And don't fob the old religious people know what to expect thing, as religious people tend to exhibit this fear as much or more (with some exceptions) than anyone.
Just don't understand this about people. And yeah, I'm an older guy now and I still feel this way.
Telling a story is not at all the same thing as acting a part. When telling the story you do not (as an actor does) need to convince the recipient that you are indeed (if the actor is good) *are* the character. That is lying. It is benign lying, but it is lying. It is also the very same talent that is used to maliciously convince someone you are someone else. The intent of the deception is the why you were seeking.
If you'd research a touch, the first book title was his opinion of himself and the second a light-hearted response to fans' reactions to the first. When I was young and infatuated with the character (before both books) I wrote him a fan letter and asked if he found the role to be 'rubbing off' and his response was no, it was only a role.
Hardly. A better analogy would be if wolves let the coyotes teach their cubs. Teachers are *not* part of my "pack" (read family). They are people who have jobs, barely anything more.
Um, God is random. He changes throughout the Bible. Read it. We *have* produced evolution in laboratory bacteria for one. Also, it's been incontrovertibly found in nature, see nylonase.
... a lot of regulations don't have good science to back them up because the science costs money and hasn't been done yet, and EPA has to make a rule even in the absence of good science.
To be clear, you support someone punching people in the face as long as is it's not you being punched. Despite Godwin, does Krystalnacht ring a bell? .

I write my own fiction and fantasy, thank you very much.

Vulcans said it to everyone, so it's not a reference to a specific life span. Your turn to turn in the card.

To use the verb sang in reference to Mr Nimoy's voice is - highly illogical. This goes twice for Shatner.

"I do believe that any science the EPA uses should be available to the general public" His quote.

The EPA is a known con artist. Do you trust them?
... a lot of regulations don't have good science to back them up because the science costs money and hasn't been done yet, and EPA has to make a rule even in the absence of good science.
That statement is an oxymoron.
The way to tell is if they publish and are respected in their fields.
You mean like Schön?? Scientists have the same foibles as everyone else.
Much like Quantum Mechanics.
I dunno - being hanged by the British comes to mind.
f course they can game the system
Much like cherry-picking data to use games the system.
"you can't make a copy" - Hell, you can't even get a copy of the data or algorithms.
No, they are not the same people. No more than the Democrats are composed of nothing but crystal-rubbing New Agers.
The entire point of science is reproducibility.

In all fairness, quite a few of the FB posts are AC.
His "quotes" indicated sarcasm.
HealthCare.gov - over 1/2 billion dollars, rushed time frame, enforced by law. All else is moot.
