Yeah, your dukies get 2 more big time recruits, have we not seen this movie before? This movie has more sequels than Star Wars and Harry Potter combined, a new one comes out every single year! The plot is always the same, duke has mega talent, they win a bunch of regular season games but it is the ending that is always notable, it always ends with dukie heart break, which is no longer the surprise ending. Yet another season where after NOT getting to the national title game their mega stars leave for the NBA and are replaced by another set of big time talents, wash and repeat. When was the last time duke even played in the natty game, been so long I forgot? LOL

Was that enough enthusiasm? LOL

Amid all of Donald Trump's lies about federal relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, here's a reminder of another storm that ravaged part of our state eight years ago:

99 percent of Hurricane Matthew aid requested by NC denied by Trump administration​

99 percent of Hurricane Matthew aid requested by NC denied by Trump administration

North Carolina will receive only $6.1 million from the Trump administration. That's 99 percent less than the requested amount.

You sure write a lot for someone, like me, who, supposedly, has no understanding.

lol, don't flatter yourself into believing that you have some level of understanding about much of anything, other than maybe guitars and music, that justifies your condescension. Certainly not in reading comprehension. From my post;

"reacting emotionally instead of logically and circumspectly in too many instances...".
This indicates and connotes not that there is a one-or-the-other, black or white dichotomy between feelings and logic, but rather that one might lean more heavily toward one or the other in reacting and addressing situations. OF COURSE we are emotional. I have even offered that we are ONLY emotional, with logic and reason being imbedded in and derived from our emotional body chemistry.

So maybe it will be helpful if I say 'feelings' instead of 'emotions' although it seems silly to have to do so.

So having gotten that out of the way, I'll state again that Moore is TOO emotional, that is, too subject to his feelings, and inadequately circumspect in his consideration of the world around him. And it isn't only Moore, he is just a more extreme example. It's my belief that a major difference between liberal and conservative is a tendency to succumb to and operate on feelings on the liberal side of things and more the ability to control feelings on the con side. It isn't a matter of not caring enough about problems and solutions but rather recognizing the need to control emotions in order to achieve them.

So yes, one can certainly be too emotional and allow those emotional responses to interfere with practical problem-solving and in fact even become the problem. I guess it's possible you somehow missed the antifa/blm riots, as an example.

So here's the case in point that you provide, and have consistently provided over time....
"The next time the "sides" are made clear to me will be the first time." One has to actually deny a sense of logic in order to maintain this failure to see the readily apparent. Once more I explain what needs no explaining to those who aren't emotionally invested in purposely defying logic to contend that there isn't a political spectrum that becomes divided mainly (in major elections) into two sides to be voted for according to which side more represents the voter's wishes. You vote this way(that's one side) or you vote the other way (that's the other side). Sides.

And even before a vote takes place, a side may be argued for or against as to which is, although not entirely different from the other, different enough to affect a difference in the repercussions.

I'm glad you agree about embarrassment but I take issue with the inability to change people's minds. That is not impossible. All that takes is an OPEN mind and the application of a suitable amount of either reason or emotion.
