Can someone explain to me what they found with Hillary's emails? It looks like they're saying that the law was broken but they can't find proof that she knew about the server or signed off on it so she won't be charged. Why are they acting like it shouldn't have been an issue during the 2016 election?
Just some musings on politics. Please forgive me if this has already been noted.
I'm not sure what I was listening to, but they brought up Senator Kamala Harris who, during the Kavanaugh hearing, asked, "Can you think of any law giving the government power to make decisions about the male body?" She wanted and received the answer of "no".
Has anyone commented that there is such a law and it still exists. It is called "the draft". As far as I know, men still have to sign up for it. This law gives the government absolute control over the man's body. Even to the point of requiring him to perform actions resulting in death. Unlike preventing #abortion where the woman is still alive after the birth, this man-specific law can lead to mutilation and death for the man only.
Which brings up another question I never considered until today. If a man wants to avoid signing up for selective service is it now legal to decide that they are no longer a gender covered under the law?
Even with all of the explanations I can find in my college textbooks and Youtube videos I can’t see how #evolution is supposed to work. I actually feel scammed by my college professors and wish I had the questions I have today while I was still in school. Which is fine, since it all supports my belief in #creationism.
Evolution hinges on mutation and natural selection. Pretty much a given. There are plenty of Youtube animations demonstrating this. So, here is my contention.
I don’t believe that mutations could have yielded anything useful. Let me explain.
When they taught me in school they’d tell a story like this: A fish has a mutation and grows a bump, the bump further mutates to a protrusion, the protrusion mutates to a limb, the fish climbs out of the water.
What they don’t tell you is that there is no such thing as a singular “bump” mutation. It is actually a collection of thousands of insanely precise protein mutations all working in unison. Each when viewed alone, assuming it doesn’t sacrifice another critical protein, has absolutely no reason for natural selection to act upon it.
Oh look, we’ve got a new protein! What does it do? Well it appears that if a certain molecular group gets too close it will bind to it. And then? Well, nothing. That’s it. I suppose another chemical interaction might break them apart, but that’s it.
The actual “bump” mutation is much like a recipe. It requires instructions for initiating the bump, gathering ingredients, storing ingredients, targeting a location to assemble, assembling, and signaling the completion of the assembly. And that’s a simplistic summary. And all of this must be recorded in the DNA in perfect order or it will never happen.
So, without referencing changes based on a pre-existing “recipe” how do believers in evolution explain how anything could have initiated? I can’t even see this happening if you start with an organic soup.
I went to let the dog out last night around 10 PM and there was a #skunk in the yard. Thankfully I saw it before I let her out. It was probably rabid. I yelled and pointed the flashlight at it. Instead of running away it started to head towards me. Well, that's never a good sign.
I decided it would be best to walk my dog around the block instead. As we completed our loop back on my street I tried to stay near the center of the road. Good thing. I saw another small skunk at the side of the road hunting for grubs in some bushes.
We've smelled skunk the last few nights. I suspect an increase in the population. I'd like to blame our neighbor two streets over who places food in the woods to feed a feral cat colony.
I'd like to put a trap out but our township won't permit them after 6 PM (when the animal control closes for the night). Sprinkling fox urine crystals from Amazon hasn't made any difference. Hannah (my dog) got skunked almost a month ago and you can still smell it if she gets damp.
