In Which I Temporarily Lower My Normally Rigid Standards

I take a dim view of most social “science” – and none is dimmer than the social “science” that the partisan fringe media toss around every from time to time as a palate-cleanser for the kool-aid drinkers in their respective audiences.  You remember them – “Study shows Liberals are Smarter” or “Conservatives are happier”, usually based on some very, er ,focused reading of data from other studies that found a correlation that served the writer’s narrative.

My gym time was joy of the sport, competition , and exercise. I was driven more “right wing” when I realized that others wanted a hand in my pocket. I’ll always stand up for “weaker” folks that others will marginalize or take advantage of.

    Dr. Price is a pussy that needs to hide behind his academic degree to mask his own shortcomings.
