    Conservatives only: Do you believe that same sex marriage should be legal?

    Nope. Voted against it when it came up here. Amounted to little more than a protest vote since trying to block a liberal agenda in the Northwest is like trying to stop a roving Mongol horde, but my conscience is clear.

    Is Britain an Invisible Empire?

    Britain is a reverse Empire. It is being colonized by the colonists. Same thing with France.

    "Organic Farming cannot feed the world"

    QFT. Organic vs. GMO is just a distraction from the real issue.

    How did your family come to its religion

    I came to my family's religion by a sort of reverse osmosis. I didn't know either of my grandfathers so I wasn't directly influenced one way or the other by family traditions. My mother's father, who died before I was born, was raised Catholic (his mother was Croatian) but he lapsed and quit...

    Your ethnic background

    My earliest American ancestors came on the Mayflower. My last immigrant ancestors showed up in 1890. English (both sides, maternal line), Irish (remotely, one great-great grandparent = 1/16th), Scottish (both sides), Welsh (distant, late 1700s). German (paternal line), French Huguenot (distant...

    Best Whiskey?

    SoCo isn't even whiskey. It's an artificially flavored neutral-grain spirit. :no: The "best" whiskey in my view is white whiskey (actually bourbon) a.k.a. "legal moonshine." It's diluted to 40% straight out of the still and bottled unaged and unoaked. Peach on the nose with a sweet bourbon...

    "hard" whiskey

    Smoothness has much more to do with the amount of time a spirit has aged in a barrel than its alcohol by volume (ABV), with the exception of the highest proof neutral-grain spirits (like Everclear) which are smoother than any other kind of liquor. If you were drinking Scotch, you were probably...

    Religious education?

    The covergence of school and state is infinitely more troubling than the convergence of church and state. Schools should not teach modern European history without teaching about the Reformation, nor can they functionally teach about American Colonial history without teaching about the Puritan...

    What Is Your Opinion On Marijuana?

    Take a supposedly non-addictive substance, give it to a weak person every day, and watch them go apoplectic when they run out. Or create a "medical" marijuana grey market and watch every kind of scammer with a green card hang out in front of the "clinic" all day. That's dope culture for you. Not...

    Great sign

    Unless you don't. Conservative signs and billboards here in the Northwest are routinely vandalized with spray paint, fire, or physical destruction. I'd say it's greater to live among people who think like you who won't challenge your right to take a stand.

    Ambiguity

    Visual ambiguity is fairly simple. The human brain is hardwired from birth to recognize the human face, an evolutionary instinct sometimes called pareidolia. It's why we see the Cydonian mesa of Mars as a giant head. Also explains the Rubin vase. The discipline of communications classifies...

    Why does calling one's self a Christian matter?

    It probably has its origins in mockery. The Christians do this, the Christians don't do that. The literal meaning of the word is self-explanatory. Lutherans and Calvinists are only called such because the Roman church had a practice of naming perceived heresies after their principal teachers...
