The moral arc of the universe

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

In other words, there may be setbacks and evil times, but good will eventually prevail.

Would you characterize that as an observation or an assumption?

Believe the Science?

P&C drink Southern Belle, an imperial brown ale, then discuss problems in science.

It would be nice to believe that we can rely on science. Scientists are supposed to be dispassionate, purely rational people who follow the evidence where it leaves. At least that’s the mythology.

Science is as influenced by politics, ideology, ambition, egos, trends and fads as anything else. So how are we supposed to “trust the science”? And what is “the science” anyway?

I hope Biden has more luck with these Portland idiots

Antifa in Seattle and Portland Smash Property, Oppose Biden, Police: ‘We Are Ungovernable’

Far-left activists vandalized buildings and clashed with police in the Pacific Northwest on Jan. 20, voicing their opposition to the government, law enforcement, and the freshly sworn-in President Joe Biden, with some carrying signs reading, “We are ungovernable.” …

“We don’t want Biden. We want revenge for police murders, imperialist wars, and fascist massacres,” read a banner they marched under, while others carried a banner saying, “We are not governable,” which was dotted with anarchy symbols.

There’s a chance Biden might be able to have better luck with these people, since the media will be on his side. I wish him luck.
