Stand with the people of Iran against the murderous Islamic theocracy!

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 am not Jewish, nor gay, nor (obviously) a woman -- you don't need to be a member of a group to object to them being mistreated. 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
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

Leaving now, @8:23 AM, Boston, to vote.
GOBama! GO Elizabeth!
Voted last week. If I thought I could get away with it, I'd vote again. ;)
This election has been so silly, it might as well be decided on whether or not Big Bird gets to keep his job.
All well thought out and intellectual arguments... however we are talking about the American public here.
Or as Stephen Hawking explains it:
A well-known scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
... or as Canadian folk singer Eileen McGann succinctly put it to song: "We're just too stupid for Democracy".
I think this post should be titled "Vote, unless it's for Romney"
SK: Warren wins -- congratulations Massachusetts!
LP: No worries, we're winning fair and square.
Anon: If that issue brings in a few votes, fine with me.
SWA: We shall see, we shall see. So far the American public is kicking the Republicans in the nuts all over the country.
Grundy: That or "Republicans Schmepublicans".
275 to 203 at this moment... I have never been so Happy to have been WRONG!!
Congratulations, Infidel, and all your readers. Now all we have to worry about is how the nut-case Conservatives will react.
RtS: Thanks, and I've seldom been so happy to be right! As for the wingnuts, I'm keeping a close eye on their sites.....

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
