Very interesting article. You might examine your choice of words. Pretty loaded, especially for a pro-union yankee. Saying the stars and bars are an "homage to the past" ... first, time only runs in one direction and as a result homages to the future are oxymoronic and generally rare. it's a pretty toothless term. but second, either you believe and agree that the civil war was about slavery and the right to own slaves, and that, therefore, the stars and bars symbolized that desire, or you don't, and you're in the denialist camp, the skeptic camp where your global warming position comes from.<br /><br />fyi, i am skeptic about whether mcdonalds serves hamburgers. yes, i've looked at the evidence. yes, most food service industry reps and most industry equity analysts and the better business bureau and corporate licensing bureau of every state seem to (collusively?) agree that mcdonolads is a hamburger chain. but america is not a slave state. why am i not entitled to my difference in opinion? the data is made out to be conclusive, but is it? i have a friend blue, he blows dudes in the restrooms at Fenway for five bucks, and he tells me that he has NEVER seen a hamburger sold at McDonalds. And he's been going there for twenty years! That USED to be where he sucked dick for money. So I guess I could believe the "experts" or the people on the ground. And which does the scientific method prefer? It prefers skepticism, right? Or am I supposed to go on blind faith that mcdonald's sells hamburgers because some "expert" who is getting paid to say that, whose whole career involves believing that fact, is saying it. I do not thing so, thank you very much. and i have you to thank for this newfound intellectual rigor. and as with your warming pieces, i will not be revisiting this post in light of future happenings. for example, if i personally see a hamburger being sold at a mcdonalds, i dont think that merits my correcting this post. this post is true NOW, TODAY, BLUF: that is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
