    Imagine if these ding-a-lings had been able to stand in the way of progress on other fronts - something like, say, the Internet, or smart phones, or…so many other things.

    Why they are able to do this on the energy front is so infuriating and stupid.

    What enrages me nearly as much as the energy thing is that the effect of so many idiots being able to vote is that they are going to torpedo advances in medical breakthroughs, too. We most likely will have to rely on Europe and China to do anything of note on cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, combating age, etc…that’s how stupid all this is.

      Science in general for that matter.

      It’s almost as if Trump and his cronies and sycophants looked around and picked out all of the rhings that were going to be most vital and significant in coming years, then said, “Okay, these are the things we’re not going to do.”
