There are some things I'd like to explore myself. But I expect it would be something along the lines of tactile variations and relative spherical dimensions, you know - more touchy-feely than pure academic.
What was the size of that grant? How many copies of King magazine can I buy with that?
Whatever the question, I hate Coalinga, too. I lived for 20 years on the Monterey peninsula, and was once stranded in King City for 7 hours. Believe me. The 7 hours seemed longer!
Coalinga makes King City look like Chicago.
I'm of the convinced opinion that after you move inland 5 miles from the coast, you can cede all of California to Nevada and Arizona.
Don't say that he's hypocritical
Rather say that he's apolitical

Your guns just keep you dangerous to each other - while the Bankers rob your unborn grandchildren, and sell your labor into debt-bondage 'til your graves.
Any Iranian is freer, weaponless and ruled by priests, than the average American with all of his guns.
The events of the past week have demonstrated this clearly. Armed with placards and fearlessness, they walk into sniper fire. Florida in 2000 was a cowards paradise, by any comparative measure.
"The Republic" is the Roman derived title of his main surviving work.
It is a series of hypothetical dialogs, as if conducted by his master, Socrates, with his school and visitors to court, on the ideal rule for the City-State. It does NOT outline or advocate a republican form of governance. It's ideal is a Philosopher King - and models this through contrasting forms and their evolutions.
In modern terms, Plato is a prototype for Fascism - with the good of a state being the highest form of Government - above any kind of personal interest or property - provided the state is "just". The nature of this "justness" also provides much of the food for the book's discussions.
In it, he also issues the allegory of the cave. Interestingly, this is the model for The Matrix - which is where most of you are living your lives!
Fuck all of you. You still believe that schoolboy bullshit about how the country is governed? Dream on, sleepers!
Let me spell it out for you: The United States is a "Goldman Sachsocracy" The man with the gold will sack us all over the world.
Freedom? You have more people incarcerated in your borders than any nation in history. Why? It's good for business.
I wish Americans had half the guts of 15-year-old Iranian girls! There'd have been 5 American Revolutions since 1870. Your textbook lies about the accountability of US government to the people have kept you complacent, and made you both arrogant yet ignorant and oppressed.
They just stole over a hundred billion dollars from your earnings and your next two generations, and GAVE it to a firm that prints your money, runs your fiscal policy and just paid out the BIGGEST bonuses in its 140 year history.
You live in the Matrix - and that's not a metaphor. Like George Carlin said; "They call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.
When a topic has broad implications, comprehensive and associative discussion is always appropriate.
Allowing the specific article to both frame context and define limits for discussion is exactly how mechanisms for thought-control and groupthink work.
Half the liberties you were assured of exercising, as recently as 1980, are already gone. Habeus Corpus, trial by jury, protection from warrantless search and seizure, posse comittatus.
Oh, yes. The small matter of electoral votes. Those were rendered irrelevant in 2000, and outright fraudulent in 2004.
The Iranian people have more righteousness, bravery and principle. It has been demonstrated before the eyes of the world. Only Americans, with the peculiar form of national narcissism that substitutes for real patriotism, do not see it.
"The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves that make us wonder at the possibility that there may be something to them that we are missing."
This is no joke. You are living in some post-apocalypse vision from J.G. Ballard, and yet you use this as an opportunity to jest. This is not the result of some lack or inability on the part of one community or another.
Rather it is the gradual outcome of steady, oligarchal corporate piracy and class war. Here's the kicker: That's the super-rich class, versus all others. You middle-class allies are no longer needed, now the looting is complete. You are now in the avenue of destruction - but they'll have you at each other's throats over false ideological dichotomies instead of turning on the real villains of history.
Ahmadinijad is now opposed by all of the significant Mullahs - who led the 79 revolution. Why? because he - and the Revolutionary Guard - are Israeli puppet-creations. They are now ready to do Mossad's dirty work. "Mahmoud" is Jewish. But you can't see FNORDS, can you?

Well, there was this lovely Indian lady in Tesco, a couple days ago - her stretch pants still leave their impression all this time later...

I'm glad that Indiana Jones was able to destroy this thing in Egypt, before it got off the ground. Otherwise, who knows how the war would have gone?

Well, with those devils the British, yes.
