All my life I've been hoping to meet a Gomorrahrite. A badly neglected group. Those Sodomites get all the attention.

When I visited Cuba on a cruise ship I had a similar feeling/experience. OTOH, our bus drove all over the island, and only so much can be hidden. All in all, Cuba seemed to be on an economic level not uncommon in the Caribbean. Honduras and such on a comparable level. Not down to the Haiti...

Perhaps we should follow an ancient Roman tradition by mutilating his body and then throwing it into the Potomac...

I took a cruise to Cuba a few years ago. Cuba made every effort to welcome US tourists when Americans were allowed to visit there. Their tour guides were quite open about the shortcomings of their political system and their own dissatisfactions with it. I am not adventurous enough to try...

You are correct. The shadow deceived me.

It is along the Saguenay Fjord in Quebec North of the St Lawrence. I wondered if anyone knew the name of the formations off-hand. There is also a huge white statue of good ole JC in the background. Not JC, but his Mom, as Bomb noted.

on the mountainside within the Laurentian highlands - can anyone tell me more about it?

Land of the Free? What a pathetic joke.

A real insurrection, or a low level civil war, both possible, given his incitement, both that he is sure to win, would save his sorry ass for the rest of his life.

The same could be said of Cuba. Sanctions bring results. But do they allow observers to fairly judge what the sanctioned might have done if they had not been sanctioned? Mismanagement, OTOH, is practically a universal constant, in all political systems, in all of human history. We humans...

The Dr might note that there are good reasons for the existence of the ACLU and many other organizations of people who think the degree of freedom we have is very limited and that calling the US a democracy is an exaggeration. At best, we are only a representative republic, and based on voting...

DJT and his administration admit to no such thing as war crimes or any standard for laws of armed combat. Even Bush and his crew paid little attention to such restrictions on their POV, which is why they opted out of the ICC, Obama made no effort to change that. We have an ongoing history of...

Indeed they have had all the Kool-Aid, and they will vigorously attack anyone who disagrees with them and loudly proclaim that they have 'won' any disputed points and issues. Swaying them even the slightest is close to impossible.

Go a popular social site such as FB and you will encounter countless people defending the shooting and the shooter, who totally buy into Vance's story line. It's basic Right Wing ideology, and these people will not be swayed, and even ridicule other viewpoints. As one wit once said long ago...
