We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
- All forms of agriculture other than hunting and gathering. No - include hunting and gathering too.
- All forms of transportation including horses and oxen.
- All forms of heating, cooling, and cooking, including wood fuel, solar farms, wind farms, or hydroelectric
All of those things kill nature. Let's face it - since humanity began, ecocide has been its implicit mission. Mass suicide is the only solution for nature. Nature is not for parks - it's for everywhere.
Regardless of election winners, all allegations of voting fraud should be looked at. It is a crime.
I still suspect that Biden won, but I do wonder about fraud anyway. I do not tend to be conspiracy-minded, but urban vote fraud is known to be historically common.

As Joe Biden predicted, his presumed election would solve the virus problem. It has. Trump/COVID is no longer news. It's time for everybody to step out and have a good time. (clip from Althouse): (warning: there is violence and excess talent in this clip)
I suppose Trump should fight because he is a pugilist, but it's over. I will admit to some surprises, but the electoral map looks fairly normal. Of course there was vote fraud, but not enough to really matter. Probably. Urban vote fraud is an American tradition, isn't it?
My view is to be grateful for all of the excellent things Trump did for the country against constant, brutal headwinds. Except for the nasty virus, the USA is in good shape and the world has more peace than it's had for decades. He gets credit for that.
Slow news day. Seems to me that Biden won the Pres. election, whether by hook or crook we'll never know because of all the mail-in nonsense. Hardball politics is never nice.
It's just part of the dirty game. Maybe worse this year, maybe not. Far stranger things happen: Scott says Twitter has censored Trump. That seems surreal.
Excitement and anxiety are running high in the USA today. All I can say is that Trump "left nothing on the playing field." What a campaigner. It will be interesting.
My favored scheme would be for the rest of the population to go about its business as normal, with the over-65s remaining as much as possible indoors, taking precautions and not mixing with younger persons except with great circumspection. The degree of risk they were prepared to run would be up to them; there is no objectively “correct” level of risk to run.
I cannot imagine that a single person watching Joe Biden actually thinks he’s a competent person who can accomplish any part of what he says he can. The votes for Biden are votes against Trump and/or for the leftist agenda, period.
