| "I have to wonder if DeSatan would look the other way in the case of right wing bullies." That's exactly what he did do, until it came to people protesting at Supreme Court judge houses, in D.C., not Florida, over Roe v. Wade. |

| "Block roads and people should have the right to drive straight through regardless of any people hurt because protestors have no rights to prevent others using roads." Huh? I don't care how obnoxious a protestor is, or how opposed to their opinion I am, isn't running people over deliberate... |

| Proud Boys and abusive anti-mask, anti-vaccine folks protested aggressively outside private homes of school board members in Florida counties that chose to protect lives of the students, staff and teachers and community at large, during COVID. The governor, far away in Tallahassee, dictated that all... |

| You're so not alone as a parent. The driving thing is hard, and scary--we might move out of state just so my daughter will have access to functioning public transportation. |

| I think some of the literature about females with Aspergers or autism is targeted to parents of girls, who are struggling to understand their wonderful, unique, but challenging woman-child. I kept looking for my daughter's owners manual for years. It's early times for acknowledging women on the spec... |

| Wise words, Fnord. Controlling women's reproduction is a central component of maintaining males at the top of the social hierarchy. Plus, it just makes some gentlemen's nether regions tingle to put a woman in her (supposed) place--i.e., beneath him, and to shame her if she is non-compliant. Religion... |

| Jeez Louise, Fnord, thank you, I guess , for shedding some light on this rancid little movement. What is it with human male primates that they can come up with these supposedly god-endorsed schemes to put themselves in charge and control the women-folks' breeding apparatus? Racist and misogynistic--... |

| DeSantis is an authoritarian demagogue, with a very thin skin, who is politicking to run for president in 2024. Almost everything he does is to prove to his base he can out-Trump Trump. Its getting very dark in the Sunshine State. |

| With the leak of Supreme Court's probable destruction of Roe v. Wade, we better witness a new tidal wave of feminism in U.S. It's been open-season on women's rights since forever, and we need to stay vigilant and VOTE. Some recent books to inform on U.S. women's history: The Man Who Hated Women: Sex... |

| Good fiction thriller by Kazuaki Takano, called Genocide of One. It speculates about what might happen if a new and improved hominid suddenly evolved. How would we, and our politicians, react if we were no longer earth's cool kids? Nice blend of science and action. |
