QUICK HITTER. JUDGING "CANDIDATE SPEAK." PT 2.

A STAGE 2 ASSERTION:  THE MAJORITY RULES?, Is a slight step up from Stage 1, in that the candidate at least offers an explanation for why a certain issue is supported or not.

As we have seen, however, Polls are virtually meaningless.  They can be, and often are, created to provide one side with an advantage. ( Read the proceeding posts on STATISTICS AND POLLS.)

Often, what it does mean, is an excuse for the candidate not to explain any other reason for the stand taken.  It is an Intellectual "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" card.  It is the, "I'M A CANDIDATE OF THE PEOPLE" answer, by someone who doesn't bother to try and understand how the issue may actually affect the Constituents.

It may be hard for some to hear, but many of the Social Advances made in the U.S. throughout its history, were accomplished by Public Officials bucking the seeming will of the majority.  Equal Rights for all Racial Groups, Womens Suffrage, Child Care Laws etc., came about because principled Office Holders stood up to the Bullying and Irrationality of those who only cared about their own needs.

This is where real courage lies:  SUPPORTING A POSITION OR ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO, NOT BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT IT IS SUPPORTED BY A MAJORITY OF AT LEAST ONE.

HILLARY CLINTONS ENDORSEMENT BY BERNIE SANDERS. PT 2.

                                                                                                                                                                    

BY READING THE LETTERS SENT OUT BY HILLARY CLINTON, AND BERNIE SANDERS,

WE FIND COMMON GROUND IN THE FOLLOWING;

-  SOCIAL SAFETY NET.

-  CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM.

-  UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.

-  IMMIGRATION REFORM.

-  EDUCATION.

Among other things. 

OF COURSE THEY DON'T AGREE ON EVERYTHING, BY I SEE THAT MORE OF A DIFFERENCE IN IMPLEMENTATION AND PRACTICALITY, THEN OF IDEOLOGY, ON WHAT EACH BELIEVES TO BE "GOOD GOVERNMENT."

THE MAJOR FLAW FOR BERNIE SANDERS, IS NOT THAT HIS IDEALS AND GOALS ARE IRRATIONAL AND/OR IMMORAL, BUT OVERLY BROAD, WITH AN UNREALISTIC BELIEF THAT HE COULD REASONABLY IMPLEMENT THEM AS A ONE OR TWO TERM PRESIDENT.

PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS FACED A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS WHICH HAS TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING TO DESTROY THE PROGRESS BEING MADE BY HIS ADMINISTRATION. THEY HAVE EVEN GONE TO THE POINT OF DELIBERATELY VIOLATING THE U.S. CONSTITUTION TO GET THEIR WAY.

ALL THE GOOD THAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS, WAS DONE AGAINST A REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP THAT HAS BEEN MALICIOUS, SELF- CENTERED, AND BASICALLY LACKING IN ANY ATTRIBUTES THAT ONE WOULD EXPECT IN RATIONAL, ETHICAL, AND RESPONSIBLE LEADERS WHO ACTUALLY ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY FIRST.

WE CAN TALK ALL DAY LONG ABOUT CHANGING THIS, AND IMPROVING THAT, BUT AS LONG AS THERE IS AN ELECTED OPPOSITION DETERMINEDTO PRESERVE POLICIES THAT BENEFIT ONLY THOSE WITH A PARTICULAR AGENDA, IT IS THE NUMBER OF SMALLER VICTORIES THAT WILL ENABLE US TO REACH THE GOAL OF A TRULY "GOOD GOVERNMENT."

THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD. THE WORLD OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY. PT 4. BIGFOOT- SECTION 3.

There is One Thing I Want to make perfectly clear;  I Have never come across an ANTHROPOLOGIST, ZOOLOGIST, NATURALIST, BIOLOGIST etc;  WHO WOULD NOT WELCOME SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE PROVING THE EXISTENCE OF A BIGFOOT TYPE CREATURE LIVING IN THE WILD. 

WHY WOULD THEY BE AGAINST SUCH GROUNDBREAKING INFORMATION?

The Primary Goal of Science is to LEARN NEW THINGS.  NOT MUCH CAN BE ACHIEVED IN TERMS OF ADVANCING SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE IF THERE ARE NO DISCOVERIES TO BE MADE, INVENTIONS NEEDED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, OR NATURAL MYSTERIES TO UNCOVER.

Anyone who claims that "THE SCIENTIFIC ESTABLISHMENT" is against such Research is probably either Lying to create controversy, or has a RESEARCH METHODOLOGY SO POOR THAT NO SERIOUS SCHOLAR OR ACADEMICIAN TAKES THEM SERIOUSLY.

What Science will not do, is ALLOW QUESTIONS LIKE THE FOLLOWING TO BE IGNORED, OR ANSWERED WITHOUT PROPER DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE PROCESS THAT LED TO THE THEORIES AND CONCLUSIONS BEING OFFERED.

-  TO MAINTAIN A SUSTAINABLE POPULATION, THERE MUST BE A LARGE ENOUGH COMMUNITY OF GENETICALLY COMPATIBLE INDIVIDUALS TO BREED SUCCESSFULLY, BUT WITH ENOUGH VARIATIONS TO KEEP DIVERSITY IN THE GENE POOL.

-  OVER-USED AND TIRED EXCUSES SUCH AS; "THE REASON NO BIGFOOT REMAINS HAVE EVER BEEN FOUND IS THAT THE WILDERNESS ENVIRONMENT CAUSES A RAPID DECOMPOSITION OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE, THROUGH SCAVENGERS AND INSECT LIFE.  HOW OFTEN DO YOU FIND DEER, BEAR OR ANY ANIMAL CARCASSES POST MORTEM."

THE PROBLEM IS THAT, WHILE IT IS RARE TO FIND THE PHYSICAL REMAINS OF MANY NATIVE SPECIES IN THE WILD, IT DOES HAPPEN ON OCCASION.  SKELETAL EVIDENCE HAS BEEN FOUND AND ANALYZED FOR SUCH WILDERNESS FAUNA AS DEER, BEARS,etc.

HOW MUCH HAS BEEN FOUND INDICATING THE POSSIBLE EXISTENCE OF A BIGFOOT TYPE CREATURE- NONE.

"SCAM ON GOOGLE." PT 2.

Is "SEARCHINGFORREASON.NET" THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF FALSE OR MISLEADING INFORMATION BEING PUBLISHED ON "GOOGLE"?

Here is another Google "Result." Reprinted here from the website: Search Engine Land.  AUTHOR- AMY GESENHUES. 

NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. IS SAFE.    

Bad Results

While some content is debatable, Google’s direct answers

have also included undeniably incorrect information.

Last year, a Google search for “king of united states” returned 

a direct answer listing President Barack Obama as the 

“Emperor of the United States of America.”

With content pulled from the politically-conservative website 

Breitbart.com, Google was serving up an obviously false 

answer at the top of its search results.

BREITBART.COM, 

WHERE HAVE WE HEARD THAT NAME 

BEFORE?
