“Hamilton” is a Rap masterpiece!

Oh my.  This place is overrun with conspiracy nuts and white supremacists.  Hydroxychloroquine was proven in multiple studies to be useless for covid and more than potentially harmful if used in the acute setting.  Do some real research (not youtube and rightwing nutjob sites) and see for yourself.  VA studies in particular. 

And Millermoron, this country did more to abolish slavery than any other?  That's an absolute hoot.  We may have abolished slavery (at the cost of thousands of lives, but this country did nothing for decades to end a disgusting caste system which permanently suppressed a whole set of people because of the color of their skin.  What country did Nazi Germany send representatives to for research on how to successfully suppress an entire group of people?  Guess which?  I don't even have to say it because you know already.  You just don't care

Ghasley, I enjoyed your post, and thanks for the kind words.

It's pointless to try and explain to people who can not, or will not understand your explanation no matter how hard you try because they have all the answers even before the questions are asked.


I recall being at a hospital on a perfect day, sitting in an outdoors area where people ate lunch when they had long waits for procedures. The Sun was shining, and it was as if someone had set the thermostat at just the right temperature.

I sat at a table under a tree for shade, and a young lady came and sat at the same table. She was young enough to be my daughter, so thoughts that I might have had otherwise, did not occur.

The conversation began, as conversations with strangers always do, about the weather. I don't know how we got off into problems that exist in the city, but it was about the normal problems in the "inner city", which was ironic because we were a stones throw away from the old, very large mansions where the richest people in the city live.

She did most of the talking, and I did most of the listening. She seemed to want to impress me about how much she knew about what was going on. She went on and on about how all the problems in society were caused by "Liberals". I listened, without ever once countering her allegations of how much better off we would be if there were no Liberals; why spoil such a beautiful day.

I guess she was about 21, and it was quite apparent that all this conservative wisdom came from her parents. When we parted, she was smiling with the smug feeling of how she had impressed that old man with all of her wisdom.

When people get so brilliant at that age, it's hard to change them.

Revisionist history.
How about a little perspective check-
It's a Broadway show.
