in the in-tray i found a discussion amongst folks i mostly do not know by sight but only by what they have said over the past decade+. the group has representation from the full political spectrum, from enough nations, with perhaps only one common denominator that being university education or college training, depending on PoV On 30 Sep 2018, at 8:51 PM, O wrote: Just plain old brute force politics. Now more blatant and with Mr T in the WH where there is no longer a need for any pretentious decorum amongst “ Honourable Gentlemen”. Look at Graham and Hatch and how they have “changed”. Animal spirit animal to the surface. Just like Trump.

The other fellow whom I find handy is William of Ockham. Let us by all means prohibit the needless multiplication of entities and always select the simplest explanation that fits the facts. Having done that, I must accordingly discount the idea that Dr Ford is part of some Cunning Plan to discredit Judge Kavanaugh. Sorry folks, but if you need a conspiracy theory to maintain your position, I think you are in the wrong. I was more impressed by Senator Klobuchar than by anyone else in that room.

I had made a few assumptions on Kavanaugh and his partying. I know the 80s was big into drinking in high school, ... and I was going to fault him for not being more open on that. Especially after putting part of the morning aside to hear Ford today. Then I tuned in five minutes into his part of the testimony after lunch to hear a man catching his breath over tears...and started making sure I heard the car radio or saw a TV for most of the next 3+ hours. I did not consider it "a performance"... I started to see NBC coverage as off base more than FOX on this. And I started to see huge holes in what the Democrats had set up for this guy. It was sickening. I cried a bit. But more than anything I was saddened for this so called US democratic process and how far the media circus has got out of hand. I sent to some yesterday the comments from the new owner of LA Times on US Social Media Impact... My wife is a lawyer and is not pro or con one side or the other...but asking is not what Feinstein did a matter for law courts, which she should be brought in front of? Let alone the process Democrats undertook.... I get the concerns on Roe v Wade. I of course think we should live in the modern age here... (My view a month or so ago was that the well has been poisoned on this process. This is still my view. Only I am shocked at how deep the disgrace is on Democrats here, and how NBC, etc. Have not a clue as to this...)
