Free speech? Fuggedaboutit

It's not what it's cracked up to be. You'll get used to it and you'll love the direction the country is heading. The current faux-revolution will soon be over.

And the real one starts?

But to address your comment, if someone's a nutter on one thing, does that disqualify them on all things?

Yes.

It does disqualify them. However George could have phrased it differently, does that mean they’re wrong about everything else? And of course the answer to that is no.

The point is not to say that Hydro is bad, but to question Trump's motives in promoting it so much, and also note that his choice of people to listen to isn't exactly top-notch.

It is possible for people to be right for the wrong reasons.

Why has Trump promoted it?

1. It may work. At least some of the time.
2. It's cheap as dirt.
3. Hope. When you're drowning, you don't bitch that you found a board that helps keep you afloat and not a life preserver. You're just glad you found a board.

In due course, there's more instability and institutional breakdown needed.

I agree with Jon. If I know somebody who is very smart about computers and they are telling me something about computers, I will listen, even if I know that they also believe that crop circles are from aliens.

BUT, if they are smart about computers, but believe that circuit boards are actually alien brains sent to earth and implanted in machines, I would probably not have faith in what they said about computers.

Same way with a doctor. If they have goofy thoughts in the area of expert, I would question that. Not so much if they have goofy thoughts on some area that is completely unrelated.

@Aqua-Letifer Funny meme!

But that's TRUE!
Look at Gates, look at Zuckerberg.
I rest my case.

Be afraid, be aware.

I see dead people.
