She has a wide eyed pie in the sky attitude, and obviously there are some who agree with her....... but none of them are looking at the plausibility of those proposals.
I believe her pie in the sky is going to turn into pie in her eye very soon.

You think some magical overlord is soon going to end life on Earth and will beam you up into Paradise for eternity because it says so in some Science Fiction novels and you think the ideas about our future based on actual evidence is the pie in the sky .......

What in my comment brought on such a caustic attack from you on what you perceive my personal beliefs to be?

SIZE 3]I don't see my comment as any more of a "caustic attack" than your comment is on AOC's ideas.

Your comment ,on YaYa's horrifically cynical blog.....you know, the one with the fantastically demented illustration that I suppose is meant to depict the devil......says "Have long understood that we are living in the "last days" as predicted, and conditions in our society keeps emphasizing it very strongly. This article just condenses it very pointedly. "

That comment harkens me back to a couple of years ago when you were both very taken with the Sci-Fi series about End Times and Tribulation, discussing the fictional books.......very badly written books......as if they were actual reality.....

So when you call ideas that are designed to deal with the actual realities of the Earth pie in the sky and unrealistic, I cant................

AOC's ideas do not do anything to actually address the things she rants against..... her ideas will dismantle the entire premise the USA is built upon and destroy the middle class. Her ideas include the eradication of fossil fuel use, such as cars and airplanes, and to reconstruct all the buildings to use only renewable energy, and to give a living wage to those unable and UNWILLING to work. Our government programs already give far too much to those who are UNWILLING to work and know how to game the system, who in their right mind would want to give them more? Certainly not people who work for their living. How long before more and more taxpayers just give up their jobs to live on the government teat if it's giving them as much as they earn working?
Her ideas are definitely a pie in the sky..... and it will not fly in the USA, or with any other country if it were suggested there.
Would you want to live under the ideas that she is putting forth?

Both you and Hanky have this strange notion that information takes up actual physical space in our minds...... Here's a little fact for you....it doesn't. There are no political borders in my mind. You are obviously a nationalist like your president.......you are in favour of not only physical walls, but figurative ones. Build that Wall ...Build that Wall.....you have been hornswogglled.......Do you seriously think that the USA can successfully isolate itself from it's neighbours? From the rest of the World?

Are you aware of the water-cycle.....that water evaporates into clouds that are pushed by the wind across political borders and falls as rain into rivers that empty into oceans, that the pull of the moon and the waves mingles the waters of the World into one soup?...........

You tell me what I should think about, what I should care about.......you worry about what a 29 year old who has been a congresswoman for a month thinks about......a woman who has very little power in your government, yet you don't express any concern for the irrational, demented man who has all the power........and you try to censor me because you have some hair-brained notion that information takes up room in my mind and my mind should have a wall at the border.........I wonder if you can understand anything about the commonality of Humans on the Earth, or if reality just exists in Stars and Stripes land and then just falls into empty space..........

An acquaintance of mine was convinced the End Times were just around the corner.

But he died a couple of months ago, so I guess he will miss them.

Some "Magical Overlord" will one day transport BELIEVERS. No worry, Lulu, you will not be bothered. But I wonder why there is such a preponderance of non-believers from the Canadian side of the SFF house. I think Heaven may be a better pace without you.

Now she is cheering the fact that there will not be 25,000 new jobs in NYC. I would bet there are more than 25,000 people who wish she was the one losing her job.

The USA has a preponderance of people who believe the Sci-Fi novel they call "Bible" is factually true.......the rest of us are of a more practical mindset.

Since you are NOT seeking any sort of Spiritual Redemption when you leave this life, I hope your next life will be one filled with promise. You see, you haven't figured out yet that the hope for salvation is what inspires many of the people on the planet, not just Christians, but also other faiths which believe in a life after this one. The "rest of us" is a much smaller group on a planet of seven and a half billion people. Of those, most will go to their graves wondering if they made a mistake. The good news is that even then you can seek the Kingdom of Heaven - I hope you do. Maybe you will - what do you have to lose ?

Well, exactly, Christiianity was founded in an era of apocalyptic expectations among the Jews of Palestine and they have carried this idea forward to the present day...........The history of the religion is rife with predictions of the End Times. They just keep moving it forward as the previous date goes by............It's a basic tenet of their belief system.....a system whose most revered symbol is torture......The whole structure is based on convincing people that they are the elites.....chosen for everlasting happiness by the overlord as a reward for their fealty and obedience to his fantasies.......

My comment to Mrs. Joe was referring to a series of Science Fiction books about the End Times that she and Ya Ya and others on this site took literally......

No one is saying the bible isn't "real".........I have one taking space on my shelf- . What I dispute is that those mythical rantings of illiterate desert dwellers in the Middle East 20 centuries ago are not and never were meant to be interpreted as factual.......They fell into the same genre as the Special Effects packed Super Hero Movies of Good guys VS Bad Guys of today.......It's MYTHOLOGY.........Go watch Campbell's programs on Myth..........Humans have created MYTHS since the DAWN OF TIME......There is a fundamental difference between Myth and factual reality.........

LuLu do you mean that the horses & carriages would have bogged down in mud when the sea parted and snakes don't talk? Prove it. LOL

I am trying to prove ship size and floatation capability to support two of every living creature on earth but I don't know how much space is required for the various dinosaurs or space required for the meat & grass they would consume every 24 hours based on how many days a trip will take. Can anyone help me?

My estimate is the magnitude would need to be 17 times the size of the Titanic which presents a problem of how will wooden pegs hold it together.
I BELIEVE it was done a few years back but proving it presents a few problems.
I am to the point of throwing up my hands and saying it can't be done.

Block you demand evidence and proof????

Recently while in my little boat at my favorite fishing spot this huge snake swam up close to the boat------stopped and remained in place.-----looking me and my
boat.

I got my cell phone and prepared to call a psychiatrist if it started talking.

Luck prevailed he just swam on off without saying hello, goodbye, boo or go to hell.
I am relieved now and take that as evidence and proof that I have not lost it yet.

Block I understand your desire for proof of what people say.

Perhaps I can be of help to you. You come down here to Texas----We go fishing on the lake where that big snake hangs out-----You bring an apple-----& we can ask the snake if it is safe to eat it under current conditions. That is a scientific experiment that will prove if Sparkle or you actually know the truth in your disagreement. I will serve as witness to what the snake says. I am with you all the way.

Who knows? the snake may actually discuss a little politics with us while we are fishing. No need to worry about a fish swallowing either one of us. We have big fish here but not that big.
Party On!
