Thanksgiving Eve ONT
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and before we all sit down with our loved ones, maybe we should take a moment to think about what we have to be thankful for. Everybody has been talking about the presidential election, but almost overlooked in that is this small factoid:
While the left has been busy with their long march through the institutions, the Republicans have had their own long march through the statehouses going on. One more state and....BOOM! IF they have the will to use it, that is.

An Insider's View: The Dark Rigidity of Fundamentalist Rural America
Another in a seemingly endless series of articles explaining why rural, Christian, white Americans are wrong to oppose the coastal liberals, who, because they are not rural, Christian, white Americans, know better than mouthbreating rural, Christian, white Americans. Rural, Christian, white Americans better come to understand this, all for the good of rural, Christian, white Americans. As you might guess, this one is pretty repetitive. I only made it about 2/3 of the way through, but if you manage to read the whole thing you get a coupon for 50% an Ace of Spades Platinum Membership (but only if you're a rural, Christian, white American). Related: Gwyneth Paltrow Is Just F***ing Nuts In addition to steam cleaning her VeeJayJay, Paltrow says“I am fascinated by the growing science behind the energy of consciousness and its effects on matter,...I have long had Dr Emoto’s coffee table book on how negativity changes the structure of water, how the molecules behave differently depending on the words or music being expressed around it.”

“‘Anne,’ he says, stopping and looking down at me. I am pinned like wet washing with his peg. ‘Till now, I thought the sweetest sound I could ever hear was cows chewing grass. But this is better.’ He sways and we listen to the soft suck at the exact place we meet. Then I move and put all thoughts of livestock out of his head.”

“That’s a waste of taxpayer dollars and that also doesn’t prepare kids for life. In life there’s winners and losers and when your car breaks down, your kids get sick or you have to take a second job to pay your mortgage, you don’t get to go to a cry zone, you don’t get to pet a pony.

Liberals on the other hand are constantly trying to dictate how others are supposed to live, what they're allowed to say, and what they're allowed to think. They're a lot more sanctimonious than Christians. I had some idiot in a grocery store correct me for using a plastic bag. I never got that kind of interfering crap from Baptists and Calvinists.
I don't know how those liberals in California can stand themselves. You'd think they'd find each other annoying.

I am thankful that after that 18 inches of snow buried my drive, that my Ariens cleared it right out without a hiccup.
I am equally thankful that I was able to fix the problem the very next day that same machine refused to run when I went out to clean up the mess the snowplow left in my drive when the county pushed the snowbanks back. I am a believer that machines are supposed to run; you turn the key, it starts, it runs, you park it; that is what they do.
So when this machine refused to run, I, like, totally, freaked, man. Thought it was bad gas. Something broke in the carburetor, plugged fuel line.
I had read somewhere that you need to check the oil and water, and pay attention to the blinking warning indicators on the dash (check engine light). So I checked the oil, and it was at the 'add' mark, but I was prepared for that because I was planning on changing the oil anyway. So I did that, and the machine ran perfectly fine after that.
Who knew that a small engine like that had a low oil sensor? The things you learn from machines.

My only answer was a relationship should be 100/100, not 50/50, and NEVER use sex as a weapon. That was it. She seems to have gotten it.

Then he understands what happened with Trump better than a lot of them. I listen to all the crap about racism and not voting for Hillary because she's a woman.
They have no idea why Trump took Michigan. It's his talk about NAFTA and renegotiating trade deals. Michigan is a state that went down the toilet because of these issues, and the people in California and New York seem to have no concept of that. There were union members who normally vote for democrats who voted for Trump because he's been talking about these issues for years. I get very frustrated with the people in the media who keep harping on racism. They don't have a clue.

Interestingly, if it is only sex, it is allowed in almost all the states. But when it comes to marriage, then most states say no. And, as you point out, it is the South and Midwest where it is banned, while the Northeast and the West Coast are ok with it.

When you saw the polls, that was probably him being generous to Trump.
I think this time around he didnt have the internal polling like he got in 08 and 12 that he got from the Obama campaign. I dont think Ttrump was doing much internal polling, and the Clinton camp didnt want to release the internals to him because it would have taken away her aura of invincibility.

Walnut lived to be 18 and was well-loved. I found it touching, not depressing. Putting an old pet who is suffering to sleep is very difficult but calling it "canine euthanasia" kinda trivializes human euthanasia.
The man wanted to send his beloved dog out in style and get some comfort from fellow dog lovers.

Yep, euthanasia is one of those words, another is murder, that applies exclusively to human beings. There is no such thing as either murder or euthanasia when it comes to animals.
Even if you chain up a dog so that a polar bear can eat it alive, it's not murder. Although, the dog might debate the point if he could speak.

One was a short haired St. Bernard, one he got via rescue, the other was the real beauty of the pair, a Landseer Bouvier. Ten years old and 150 pounds, a retired therapy dog, the calmest coolest hunk of black and white fur we've ever seen.
We lost our old girl last year, a gorgeous Groenendahl Belgian Sheepdog, prettiest sweetest thing ever, her littermate won best of breed at Westminster, but she was undersized so the breeders sold her after they had done their litter pick. Every time we see a good looking dog we see if the owner is willing to chat, and we pet, we hug, and we think, should we do it again.
So tonight we are doing a search to see if someone has a pretty little Landseer puppy within a thousand miles. We cannot get another Belgian because we think anything other than the one we had could not be as pretty, as well-behaved, as perfect.

I am thankful that my Chappaqua is sufficiently set back that I don't have to deal with the common people I care so much about.
I am thankful that I don't have to spend the holiday season staffing a bunch of office positions (what a nightmare that would be!).
I am thankful that so many people understand the importance of the plebiscite count, rather than some archaic historical tradition.
I am thankful that the honest media will never, even under the goading of hateful people, refer to honest protests as "riots", no matter the level of destruction, damage or harm to others.
I am thankful for my family, especially Bill, who finally learned to properly dodge an ashtray, so I don't have to keep answering those sexist questions from the a-holes down at the ER or the state police.
I am thankful for the warm, loving embrace of true Scotch Whiskey.
And finally, I am thankful that my laptop's video player has an automatic repeat function so I can endlessly loop the C-SPAN record from that time I was assigned Pro Tempore duties in the senate. All those republicans, forced to address me as "Madame President".

I think one of the great lessons of 2016 is, "polling" is really, to a large extent, psy ops. If you can pull together enough polls that say you're gonna lose, it can be a *big* mental impediment to supporters of the underdog.
There are some polls I'd still take seriously, but IMHO most of them have been exposed as the hack exercises they are.
Posted by: qdpsteve at November 23, 2016 11:43 PM (u8kLQ)
They have no idea why Trump took Michigan. It's his talk about NAFTA and renegotiating trade deals. Michigan is a state that went down the toilet because of these issues, and the people in California and New York seem to have no concept of that. There were union members who normally vote for democrats who voted for Trump because he's been talking about these issues for years. I get very frustrated with the people in the media who keep harping on racism. They don't have a clue.
Posted by: nerdygirl at November 23, 2016 11:22 PM (+lVUW)
Silver's take was that Ohio was the key. That Michigan, PA, Wisconsin and Iowa were all kind of the same state with OH being the most GOP. If Ohio went bigly to Trump, those states were then in play.
I don't think anyone saw Minnesota being in play.

Motive? Polar Bears are pretty much the only predator that regularly and actively hunts man. With sharks it's largely mistaken identity (thinking people are seals), the big cats generally hunt men only when the cats are older and outcast from their social groups.
Polar Bears evidently think of man as walking, talking, tasty Slim-Jims.

Today was one for the books. Mrs. Krebs and I are in Upper Michigan visiting my mother. We drove over at 1:00 PM, found her place locked, but I could hear her in her bathroom when I knocked on its window. Long story short: she may have had a mild heart attack, passed out briefly, and then was too weak to get herself back on her feet. She's resting confortably at the hospital for overnight and is likely to be released tomorrow.

Yeah, and when you would see him going state by state and would discount a poll because he said the company wasn't that great, but then later would use that same company to predict another state. That told me that he had another set of numbers he was using, and internal polling is way more accurate because of the volume of calls that the campaigns make.

The article didn't lay it out very well, but his stated reason for chaining the dogs is that if he lets them run free, they bark. But, if they are chained up, they are quiet. His explanation of that is that the dogs know they are vulnerable if they are chained, so they keep quiet to avoid drawing attention to themselves.
Of course, the strategy falls apart if the asshole chaining the dogs up feeds the bears, teaches them to play with the chained dogs, and then fails to feed the bears one night. When their normal free food isn't there, they just go for that other source at the end of the chain.

What's there to think about?
You seem to think animals and people are equivalent. They are not - not under the law, not morally and not using basic common sense. Do you OWN a human being in the same way you own a dog or cat? Are they your pets? Do you see ads in the paper "5 year old boy, housebroken, free to good home?"

Hah! I get it, I understand the "culture." My friend Linh was living with her boyfriend, now husband, for about 6 years before they got married. Every time her dad came to town, he had to move all his stuff out and her sister "moved in." Being single, they weren't allowed to live alone and most certainly not allowed to live with a guy. She has 4 sisters, they are all named Linh.

I'm not sure what your exact objections to what he did are. Are you saying it is immoral to put a dog to sleep? Or is it immoral to have a get together on the beach and film it? I wouldn't do the latter myself, but I certainly don't think it's morally wrong.

A prize male can go 2,000 pounds and stand at 12 feet.
His description just of their heat regulation system takes maybe three full pages.
They are relatively recently evolved from brown (grizzly) bears, and a mating between a brown and a polar bear can result in fertile young.
Lopez says that to witness one come silently to the water's surface in a lead between sea ice masses, the bear totally fixed on a seal it senses nearby, makes one wonder why we call both the griz and the polar "bears."

You both are right.
Trump was doing polling, but not the usual polling that campaigns do. A lot of the "internal polling" is done by volunteers that call the voting roll of their congressional district. I ran this for a statewide campaign in VA in the 80's, and each congressional district was getting about 300 respondents a night. There were no demographics, no age groups, just 300 per night per congressional district. That was 3000 surveys a night. We saw the movements weeks before they started to show up in the "major polls". Getting a major polling firm to do that would cost about $40K a night. With volunteers, it cost about $300 for the pizza and sodas.
I'm sure this is the type of polling that Hillary did, and that is why she stopped campaigning in the states the media kept saying she was going to flip even though all the "major polls" said she was winning.
When wanting to get what is really happening in a race, watch where they are campaigning in the last weekend, and look at their ads. If they are still running negative ads against the other candidate, they are in trouble. If they are running the "Presidential" ad, they are winning.

I found him in his house two days after his stroke. At the hospital, they asked my siblings and I if we wanted to let him die. Being of Christian faith, we instructed them to do erything within their power.
Most of his friends wouldn't come by to see him. They said they "couldn't stand to see him like that". I had to move in with him and take my daughter and my dog and stay with him pretty much around the clock. My sister helped when I worked. My mother (they were divorced) swallowed her outrage and helped. My three year old helped. I wiped butt, bathed him, fed him, changed him.
I was pretty much a captive for 5 years. But I will tell you this, his mind never stopped working, though his body did. He read the paper every day, voted, helped me with his business dealings, and most important of all, came to know the Lord.
While everybody else "couldn't stand to see him that way", I learned a whole different side to my father and ultimately learned a whole different side to humanity. People don't stop growing, and sometimes that thing you think that ruined their life, actually is what changes their life in a new a better way. I know it certainly made a better person out of me as well.
I was very sad to lose my dog today, but I had to do what was best for her and I do not regret it.
I was sad when my father had his massive stroke, but he was not a dog that needed me to put him out of his misery.

I met this neighbor from a few blocks away while he was walking his Doxie "Oocho" this summer, and we became friends as the dogs became running buddies
He's a real nerd, mid 50s & never married, no family here. IT guy for the local Sherrif's Dept. Real nice guy (no homo), but a bit lonely, it seems.
Anyway, knowing that he has no one else, I invited him to Thanksgiving at Mom's. I assumed he would adamantly but politely refuse.
Good news, I got an emphatic "Yes! thank you! I'd love to."
Bad news, I took him to lunch one day, and the little guy can really put it away. I figure that'll be at least 2 helpings of leftovers that I don't get to bring home with me.
Oh well, if I manage not to knock my alcoholic asshole crackhead brother out while we're there, then it'll be a win.
At least politics won't be a topic unless I bring it up.

Again, I'm coming at this from a Christian viewpoint. We are made in the image and likeness of God. We owe it to animals to treat them well and we develop close bonds with some of them, but they are not human. We own pets. We do not own people.
"Rights" are an entirely human concept. My dogs never worried much about the rights of squirrels and a pack of wolves would not concern themselves with the rights of my dogs.

you seem to be missing the point that rights and morality are not dependent upon the capacity of the one afforded the rights. if that were true the mentally disabled and incapacitated would not have rights.
further, the greater your capacity the greater your requirement to behave morally.
your dog does not have the ability to appreciate the rights of the cat so there is nothing immoral about your dog's behavior towards the cat.
as for the cannibalism question, well that is just silly.

He walked his dog home, then drove right back over with a bow saw to help me. Just for something to do.
I had an Applebee's gift card, and told him were going to lunch tomorrow.

There aren't really any "good men". You just have to do what is necessary.
I think somebody once said bravery isn't being fearless, it's fighting in spite of being afraid.
More people are out there doing the right thing (even if it isn't the easy thing) than we probably give credit to. I'm no better than anyone else, I just did what was necessary and correct.

Helpful information (via Slate):
In his 1931 book "Jungle Ways", American adventurer and journalist William Buehler Seabrook provided the world's most detailed written description of the taste of human flesh. Seabrook noted that, in raw form, human meat looks like beef, but slightly less red, with pale yellow fat. When roasted, the meat turned grayish, as would lamb or veal, and smelled like cooked beef. As for the taste, Seabrook wrote, "It was so nearly like good, fully developed veal that I think no person with a palate of ordinary, normal sensitiveness could distinguish it from veal."

All these Leftist business owners not wanting to serve Republicans is totally different than a baker not wanting to make a cake for a gay wedding.

first, my point is and has been that the obligation for moral behavior is the capacity of the entity/agent, not the entity they are acting with. you are moral or immoral based upon your behavior.
second, I am not extending human rights to animals I am saying that to be a moral person you are required to treat them morally. can yo ueat a cow of course. I eat them all the time. should I go our of my way to increase the cow's suffering no. should I take reasonable actions to minimize the cow's suffering of course. not because of the cow's rights but because of the demands of being a moral person.
since the logic is escaping you I will help you by explaining that every hunter I know who is freezing his ass off feels a moral obligation to minimize the suffering of every deer he shoots.
you insist that there is some essential fundamental distinction between humans and animals that establishes different levels of behavior between the two groups has not been supported by anything you have offered so far. well, other than someone told you God told them so.

It's one expensive hunk of meat, but damn, it's good.
I stopped by the grocery store early this morning, and they were cleaned out of the various cooking stocks. Come Thanksgiving or Christmas, they get a shit ton of the stuff. Swanson's. Chicken, beef, vegetable....which they put out on a big table. That thing was cleaned out.
I didn't need any, but I noticed that last year, and it sort of blew me away. They get a special order of the stock in right before, looks like a truckload of nothing but stock, and it's all gone in a day or two.

Whoa. You began this by referring to "canine euthanasia" and I objected to the term, since I do not believe that putting an 18 year old dog to sleep is the same as giving the needle to grandma. That's what started this whole thing. I did not advocate cruelty to animals. I simply said that animals are not people.
As I said, I believe in the Christian view that we are made in the image and likeness of God, and you answer with Bill Maher style sneering. If you, like PETA, wish to insist that a boy is a rat is a monkey and there is no difference, well, good for you. I still don't get how you can justify eating meat with such a view, but that's alright, spare me another snottily condescending demonstration of your moral equivalence.
I regret to say that you are yet another demonstration that we really do live in the Age of Stupid.

Swanson's always has coupons, and is usually on sale right about now.
Combine the coupon with the sale and you will get runs on whatever is being sold, because a smart shopper will buy in bulk when she can get the best price.

when you get around to reading what you wrote, starting at 326 would be a good place, you can try and reconcile what you typed here and before.
there is nothing snotty or condescending maherish or otherwise. you have gone out of your way to distinguish the differences between animals and humans. you have managed to avoid my primary point that moral behavior is primarily determined by the capacities of the actor. it does seem appropriate that you would close your argument with insults; though I do have to concede it is the most forceful point you have made in this thread.

After my divorce friends would ask me over for Thanksgiving.
The first 5 or 6 years I thanked them but declined as I was going hunting. Which I did. Had hunted Thanksgiving morning for years and it gave me an excuse not to invade their family time.
Then one year one of my buds and his wife said look, you're family. We really want you there.
I accepted.
Couple days later another asked. Explained why I had begged off for years but had already accepted an invitation this year.
"Good! Then you're coming over for Christmas Eve dinner this year and spending the night!"
Have at least spent Thanksgiving with someone every year since.
The holidays have been better.

There is a fundamental difference. People can be unwilling to face the reality of what they believe inside, so they say things like they are putting an animal down for the sake of the animal. It is rarely true. I would grant it in the case of an animal that is hit by a car and no amount of heroics will save it. Then, difficult as it may be for some, ending the animals suffering is merciful.
But, how about something closer to the old dog story. There was someone up thread who talked about his grandfather medical problems at the end of his life. The grandfather came to stay with him and he spent 5 years of his life caring for him. He talked about how the grandfather still had his faculties and about how much they both got out of the experience. Then he talked about how he had his pet put down because the pet was old. He tells himself that he is doing it for the pet's sake.
No. He is doing it for his own sake. He did not want to put the kind of effort into caring for that pet like he did for his grandfather. I can understand not wanting to spend the next however many years and untold expenses trying to extend the life of an infirm dog. But, it is not for the dog's sake that it will be killed. If you were to try to kill that dog by strangling it with your bare hands, it would fight back. As long as it is able to do so, it wants more life.
When an adult tries to explain it to a kid why they are putting down an old, sick animal, they tell him it's for the animal's sake, but when the kid asks why they don't do the same for Grandma, you know, to ease her suffering too, the response to the kid will be some kind of gibberish. Nothing logical. They will not come out and say we just can't spend that kind of time and money on the life of an animal, so they instead try to maintain the fiction that they are doing the animal a favor by killing it. But, Grandma is a person, so it's different.
It is different. Grandma is a person, so we are willing to spend a lot of money and energy to keep her alive.
None of which is remarkable, except for the lie about killing animals for their own good. Some even believe this lie they tell themselves and others. But, it is a lie, through and through.

My how it's grown. The families are spread across the country now, of course, but they come back to that tiny little town for Christmas.
There were I think 46 for dinner, the yoj ngest 2 months and the oldest 92 and 24 people spent the night at Gary and Jan's.

would grant it in the case of an animal that is hit by a car and no

How about an animal with terminal cancer? Talk about fundamental differences, the animal with cancer is going to struggle on, clinging to life because that is what living things do, but there is never going to be any purpose other than that. His 50th day with cancer is going to be no more meaningful or different to the animal than his first. What is the difference besides the length of time before the inevitable death, and what is time to an animal?
But, how about something closer to the old dog story. There was someone

experience. Then he talked about how he had his pet put down because the
pet was old. He tells himself that he is doing it for the pet's sake.
The five years that he got with his grandfather were geometrically greater than five years he might have gotten from caring for a cat in the same circumstances. Oh, he might have learned the same lessons (the value of nurturing life, the nobility of wiping shit from a being who couldn't do it for themselves (I'm serious)) from caring for a cat. The grandfather, OTOH, wouldn't have grown or learned those lessons in the least, and the cat wouldn't have been able to learn and grow itself.
No. He is doing it for his own sake. He did not want to put the kind of
effort into caring for that pet like he did for his grandfather. I can
understand not wanting to spend the next however many years and untold
expenses trying to extend the life of an infirm dog. But, it is not for
the dog's sake that it will be killed. If you were to try to kill that
dog by strangling it with your bare hands, it would fight back. As long
as it is able to do so, it wants more life.
Every living thing wants more life. That's baked into the cake. But in the story above, the poster's grandfather learned and grew from during his infirm time. He came to know god, he imparted wisdom that would have been lost if he didn't have that time. He was a different and better man when he crossed over the rainbow bridge. A dog? A dog has many admirable traits, but he would still be exactly the same at the end as he was at the beginning.
When an adult tries to explain it to a kid why they are putting down an
old, sick animal, they tell him it's for the animal's sake, but when the
kid asks why they don't do the same for Grandma, you know, to ease her
suffering too, the response to the kid will be some kind of gibberish.
Nothing logical. They will not come out and say we just can't spend that
kind of time and money on the life of an animal, so they instead try to
maintain the fiction that they are doing the animal a favor by killing
it. But, Grandma is a person, so it's different.
It is different, and it is logical, because pets and people are NOT the same. A person who has been evil and brutal to their loved ones might repent and give solstice to their loved ones (and gain it for themselves) before they die. A person who is neither evil nor brutal can still enhance their life and the lives of their loved ones. Pets can certainly enhance both their lives and the lives of their humans, but they do it by being what they are. That's not going to change on their deathbed. Human beings can and do change on their deathbeds.
It is different. Grandma is a person, so we are willing to spend a lot of money and energy to keep her alive.
It has nothing to do with money and energy. It has everything to do with, to put it in those terms, with the possibility of the return on the investment.
None of which is remarkable, except for the lie about killing animals
for their own good. Some even believe this lie they tell themselves and
others. But, it is a lie, through and through.
A human being can endure pain and suffering and through it become better than they were. They can learn from the pain and suffering and reach out and make their loved one's lives better (of course the opposite is true as well). An animal suffering is simply going to be......suffering. And that doesn't change if the suffering lasts for ten days or ten thousand. There is no benefit to the animal in extending that suffering. So, yes, i would say ending that suffering is to the animal's benefit. In a similar situation, there can be considerable benefit to the human in not ending the suffering.
Gah! I've avoided this debate all night and now I get sucked into it just as I have to go to bed. If anyone wants to respond, I will reply tomorrow after the big feed. You'll just have to look back at this thread to find it. Sorry.

is the capacity of the entity/agent, not the entity they are acting
with. you are moral or immoral based upon your behavior."
Define moral behavior in relation to a pet.
Anon Y. Mous, unlike humans, you cannot find out from your pet if it wants to live or die. You cannot ask it how much pain it is in. It is even worse given that most animals are very, very good at masking the effects of pain, since acting lame in the wild marks you as easier prey.
Since you own your pet, you are responsible for it.

This is why I think it is high time for an Art V convention. And the States should not be "bought off" by consistory gestures from congress as they have been in the past when it looked like the States were ready to call for one.
The 14th amendment needs a major rewrite to correct the problems caused by bad interpretations made by the black robes. The same thing goes for the "commerce clause" and for the same reasons.
And thanks to those reasons the judicial branch needs a major rewrite to prevent them from causing those problems in the first place. A major step to prevent that would be to take control of the courts away from the federal government. Maker appointment to the federal courts a State function with each State nominating and controlling one Supreme Court justice. Also all federal judges to be appointed by the State in which they reside, and that includes appellate courts.
Also give the States the power to remove a federal judge appointed by their State by a 60% popular vote. Supreme court judges to be subject to removal by a 50%+ vote of all States or a 70% vote of both houses of congress. With that removal subject to a veto by the appointing State.

Vic, how about some system where you don't get to pick whose courtroom you litigate in? Some sort of lottery?
Posted by: Iron Mike Golf at November 24, 2016 05:58 AM (di1hb)
I have been an advocate of eliminating all tort law except in the case of a written contract. And a warranty to be considered a written contract. That would eliminate judge shopping for civil suits.

So, no liability, Vic? I think that's a stretch. Talking citizen to
citizen here. Incident resulting in huge medical bills and no longer
able to work, for example.
Posted by: Iron Mike Golf at November 24, 2016 06:14 AM (di1hb)
There are already medical liability laws separate from the normal tort system. However the tort system is being abused in those cases as well by ambulance chasing lawyers. Some States like TX have already rewritten their laws to eliminate that problem, or at least greatly reduce it.
