Judith, I appreciate your openness in agreeing that good points have been made here. I wish you would also respond to a point I raised several Waccos ago, where I said that I have had many...

So there is not even a pandemic?! All those deaths and severe illnesses we hear about on the news, then, are just some kind of massive propaganda campaign spewed forth to advance some weird...

If you like cats, I recommend getting one or more. They can be powerful rodent killers, and those they don't find tend to vacate the premises. It's grisly, but so is poison!

Playing the fool is a luxury you have in our democracy, rossmen. Evidently you are well off enough that you don't have to bear the brunt of your foolishness. It is not the same with everyone.

Actually, Valley Oak, all your strenuous and selfless political efforts qualify you as a Citizen Angel! Would that the rest of us were so dedicated and hard working. You seem to have a chronic...

But sadly, like so often in political life, it is the only choice we have at present. Trump is like suicide, and Biden is like a more or less severe beating. We must be grown up and deal with what...

Actually, Rossmen, I guarantee that if all government were to disappear in the US you would be wiped out with the rest of us very quickly. Mob rule is a real drag.

Very scholarly, Mark. Nevertheless, it seems very obvious that more people will get hurt worse if Trump wins.

Trump is dearly hoping for more people like you, Mark!

Thank you once again, Mark, for baring your soul like this. I feel much closer to you.

By the way, I must tell you that I am not a "doctor." I am a mere "bachelor." Nor do I have an orgone...

Mayacaman, what do you know about this city for the elite beneath the Blue Ridge Mountains, and how do you know it?

And if the plebes kill each other off, who will do the huge amount of work...

So why do you think Dr. Fauci has done this apparently crazy and even homicidal thing? And why do so many other experts agree with him?

<style> <!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face ...

Judith, I'm re-sending this post because I feel that it deserves a response!

By "ample basis" do you mean your lengthy list of experts who agree with you?

What's the point of offering you "the studies, articles, etc"? You know as well as I do that your anti-vax view is in...

I think my response was absolutely germane, and once again you have refused to answer my questions (you know, those things with question marks after them). Your post was little more than a list of...

Yet, there's a whole lot of people as educated or more educated than you who believe that there is considerable value in wearing masks. Dr. Fauci is a good example. Should I believe him or you? I...

Instead of responding to the points I made in my post, you put me down as someone whose "mind is made up" and unwilling to learn and think. This is an unfriendly and unhelpful way to relate, Judith.

I think that there are many people who just love to argue and fight and assert their Rightness! I confess I can get a bit caught up in that myself, OldGranddad. Then I pull back and realize damn,...

Absolutely stunning! Aren't lions generally a threat to child elephants? Are you sure this wasn't a photoshoped picture? How could the photographer have happened to be there at this particular...

"A fair chance of surviving the virus"? I'm not inclined to gamble with my health, Judith. It's really all I have!

How can you downplay the severity of this epidemic? We've never seen...

An awfully large number of people have died from this new disease, kburgess, and many others survive but remain with more or less crippling injuries. Are you quite sure that most of these people had...

Yeah, the going back to normal trend when the infection numbers were still so high seemed crazy to me at the time. And now it's turned out that it was crazy! How could our leaders have failed to...

Yes, Richard Ely certainly overindulged in his hostility there. I would prefer showing kindness and respect even for people you regard as fools.

But can't you see the extremely hostile and...

Hi Marko! I don't know about Barry putting you in a "ghetto." Your posts seem to be on the regular site like everyone else's. Maybe I've missed something. But even in this post you sent here to...

I'm astounded at the bountiful time some of you regulars have to post these long screeds arguing and insulting each other! Armed combat of the mind! Fun fun fun!

So were you too among the throngs of protesters during the free speech movement and people's park? Maybe we even met some time as we were running around dodging cops and the military!

I have never been saved by a vaccine? Vaccination has nothing to do with the huge decrease in communicable diseases that has occurred over the last 100 years? How do you know all this, amayon? So...

Maybe I'm just dense, Shandi, but I don't read anything particularly sinister in this article.

If covid 19 was "planned biowarfare," why has it spread all over the world? What would the military...

Thanks, podfish. My issue is not whether people could accept that Ray could be pleasant. My issue is about accepting people with a different political point of view on this forum. I now understand...

Yes, mass species extinction! Looks like we're working on it.

I'll be happy to visit you in your charming vertical city apartment in the desert, infojockey, but I have no plans to abandon my...

Well, at least they're not greedy money-grubbers!

So you think it really doesn't take that many workers to run our world economy--all the food production, science, engineering, invention,...

I've heard that Hitler too could be quite warm and charming.

Hi infojockey! I appreciate your scholarship, but I just have to say that the idea of a 1000-fold increase in human population upon the planet is my idea of total horror and disaster! The...

I don't understand what you mean by "gain of function" research and the rest of what you are saying here.

So are you against today's Planned Parenthood? Do you agree that human population explosion all over the world is a serious threat, not only to human survival, but to the other species? What else...

Why won't anybody respond to what I said about what happened when I reached out to Ray?? I just don't get the disconnect. Doesn't that give any of you just a little pause for curiosity and...

So are we heading toward a presidential campaign in which Trump and Biden exchange nasty barbs about which one is the worst sexual predator? How historical!

It's just a matter of trying to figure out which conspiracies are real. Then there's the conspiracies to convince people that such and such are conspiracies! Oy!

These are all really gems! Thank you again, Barry!

Was complimenting her legs and prettiness really her only complaint?

Thanks, wisewomn! I enjoyed your scriptural words of wisdom there. But they can be taken either way by those who dispute who is or is not "wise."

If cyber and Ray were not trying to join our...

Wow, a lot of work drawing that Where's Weirdo cartoon!

Thanks, wisewoman. Actually it was not cyber but Ray I reached out to. And I really don't remember what you and others found so exceptionally awful about his posts. Maybe I'm growing senile. ...

I don't get it, rossmen. I've never been asked to pay for it.

I sincerely apologize for my snarky indulgence. Sometimes I just can't resist.

So let me speak frankly. Star Man, you come across to me as a person who takes the defensive stance of the...

These are really super-funny, Barry! Many thanks!

Sure, Barry has a right to do anything he wants with his website creation. For me, the question is: what do we Waccos really prefer this site to be? I am as passionate a progressive as any of you,...

What?? Is Cyberanvil being shoehorned out of Waccobb?! If so, I protest! The more right-leaning posters--Cyber apparently being the only one still posting--added a welcome and interesting spice to...

Fascinating, Mayacaman! I greatly appreciate this intimate revelation of your extraordinary personal history, and your spiritual earnestness and intensity.

So does this mean that there is no point in bothering to wear a mask at all?
