In assisting doctors on some procedures, I was trained to say "correct" to affirm what part of the body they were working on rather than say "right". (To prevent mishaps ,like the wrong body part being removed, the doc would state what procedure they were about to perform on what part of the body.)
In an Ohio public school, my mother, who was left handed, was forced to write with her right hand (it never worked). The teacher would slap her knuckles with a ruler if she was caught favoring her left hand. My son-in-law is a "leftie" (in more ways than one) and one of the most talented individuals I have ever met. Nature obviously favors diversity.
The remarkable diversity of dogs is selectively brought forward from the genome of a single species. "Weeds" may produce seeds that are specialized for different germination conditions from the same individual plant. That's adaptability. That's resilience. That, combined with effort produced Bach, and Einstein and Olympian athletes.
Many species have a less creative array of behaviors than we do, the bird that mates with the bird that does the dance most perfectly, compared to the diverse forms of human courtship; but isn't that our advantage? All animals eat, but we often cook as an art. I think that at our best, we replace conformity with solidarity, and reap complications but also very rich rewards by doing so.
Obvious to anyone interested in the scientific method. Unfortunately as IтАЩve stated in multiple posts today, the scientific method has gotten flushed into the dustbin of history by school vouchers and Christian dominionism.
The scientific method is a meticulous way to "check it out". It is inconvenient for those who are invested in inaccuracies. Reality always wins in the end no matter what, but realities we have managed to sleepwalk into are not necessarily pretty.
You lost me somewhere in the fourth scene of the second act of a B version of The Godfather. Nice try though as it is snowing outside here as well. I hope you get around to adding some good old fashion sex and a love story leading to redemption of the entire mob family. Then, maybe serving them all up with the fishes in bullet proof vests will make sense to me. I enjoyed the diversion.
Further proof that the Right is The Enemy and must be stopped by every means necessary.
And how ironic they are called the "Right".
The religious right is neither (stolen from Twitter before I got banned)
Conflating church with state corrupts both. Jesus was an ascetic.
I now no longer say; тАЬThatтАЩs right!тАЭ I now say; тАЬThat is correct.тАЭ The term тАЬrightтАЭ gives me the heebeejeebies. Lol.

Any means that does not make us sociopaths too.
And all this word salad makes sense, how?
You have to douse it in Balsamic Vinaigrette, add two cups of minced metaphors, and sprinkle grated pages from a blank book titled, "I AM TOO A POET!"
Add a bottle of wine and a couple of shots of Absinthe, and it will all make perfect sense.

Pretty sure youтАЩre missing the required pinch of LSD ЁЯШБ
