Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Just last Friday my (liberal) step-father-in-law asked me breathlessly if I had heard of this planned superhighway.
I confessed I hadn't. He went on to tell me the lurid tale of Chinese contractors flooding Mexicans into Kansas etc. etc.
It sounded plausible.
Fortunately Monday morning I came across this Nation article. While I felt a little foolish believing the story, what does it say about the state of our country today that something so outlandish is actually possible?
I don't trust that a superhighway won't, at some time, exist. But I don't believe 100% that it will, either. Who to trust? The whole thing could be quiet because it's either not going to be, or just because a lot of people say, "whatever," not knowing who or what to believe. So, whatever.
