It has its benefits for the rich and powerful.

It really boggles the mind what has been occurring the last few years. Hate and Fear is all they have, and the power to keep the electorate stupid. Too stupid to know they are being used.


Ah well, at least Texas hasn’t totally done away with science yet.

Unfortunately, those people are always outsmarted by the people who aren’t afraid to use their minds for the good of all.
