4. "Why?!" "Because it's my nature. You knew what I was."

So amazing that Aesop's Fables were old stories about human nature when he compiled them 2600 years ago.

I wonder, though, could this one, for instance, actually be over 40,000 years old, like those oldest cave drawings found?

Of course in villages, where the stories were told over and over down the years, most people would have those who want to be good but can't resist sabotaging what they claim to value pegged for what they were while still children.

I don't know what Moore said, but I don't like the Cancel Culture side of Democratic culture that attempts to silence dissenting voices -- without refuting or even naming the points that the shunned voices raise...

He wants to cancel members of the Democratic Party that doesn’t agree with him.

...not the Dems. However imperfect the Dem Party is it is not the enemy. How hard is that to keep in mind, really?

When has he said anything positive at all, on any subject. The man oozes negativity

He helps Republicans by tearing down good Democrats.



And he needs to stop.

His take-away from the UK election for the U.S.: "Dems need to lead, not follow." They need to have an economic message and say, 'This is the way it's going to be and this is what we're going to fight for.' To get the working class away from the anti-immigrant Trumps of the world, they need to think of the working class not as "lunchbox Joe" because the working class is mostly women, PoC, and the young.

Sigh.
