To come on a forum that someone else pays for and complain that it's not good enough is very rude.

So everyone agrees that young Donald Trump would have been free to do what he does best and still not be suspended from his cheerleading squad?

Right, but she's not promoting a cause, popular or unpopular. She's just expressing her anger in a way that causes harm to the cheerleading team. Does the school being an agent of the state enter into it? I have no idea if it does or not.

I hadn't thought of that. Very true, and she does have the Trump audacity factor going for her.

Here's an imagination exercise: A young Donald Trump is a member of his college cheerleading team. In all of his off campus social media posts and face to face interactions he foments dissent within the team by lying, pitting people against each other, and in general acting in a very insubordinate manner. All of this is done very publicly. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to see how destructive Trump's behavior could be to the effectiveness of his cheerleading team. Should he be suspended from the team for the rest of the semester? This young woman said something to the effect of "Fuck cheer. Fuck this school, Fuck this, Fuck that, etc, etc." Make no mistake about it, this young amateur did not accomplish the sort of disruption that we imagine in the above scenario, but she did openly try to foment dissent or at least try to do some sort of harm to the team. There is the issue of scale, but both actors are trying to harm the school. It's not the same as her speaking out in support of an unpopular cause such as protesting a war.

I miss that guy.

That's only during deer season. The rest of the year we require 2/3 majority.

You'd better hold off on implying he's an Islamic crackpot. I think we may find otherwise.

Surprised?

Maybe so, but being motivated by the most ridiculous lie in history is nothing to be proud of.

Nice. Looks pretty green for New Year's Day. Where is it?

That's a nice gesture, but if that's your standard, you are going to spend a lot of time alone at home.

Better yet, make it into mead!

It is inevitable that your parents will run out at some point. Anything you do to prolong the situation is not helpful and puts you at risk of jail time. I suggest that you let them begin withdrawing and take them to the emergency room. I expect that they deal with this situation every day. There are no good outcomes here. That train left the station years ago.

Has anyone ever suggested that 100% wind and solar would be viable?
