Kinda like the one requiring the performers acting in adult films to use condoms. The professionals have a better grasp of the risks than politicians do and the only thing that law did was relocate studio locations.

Exactly what you said. The extinction clock is complete bullshit. Humanity could be reduced to just a pair of semi-identical* twins and we'd probably still figure out how to survive. * The girl has a mucked up Y-chromosome, her brother does not.

You brought up the extinction clock, which is bullshit.

We've actually survived an extinction-level catastrophe at least once. We're really inbred because of it. I can say, with absolute certainty, that you, I, and everyone else alive are double cousins so many times over that it's not funny.

12-15 might not be so bad because my eldest daughter will get upset with you if you don't call her by her given name. My youngest daughter is 10 and scares the crap out of her teachers just by being there.

"Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a resident of California; but I repeat myself." - me paraphrasing Mark Twain

Isn't the vaccine a lot like Asprin and many other medications: not recommended for children under twelve?

The result was pretty close to what the assorted pollsters predicted and it's California. A Democrat ain't losing a vote there unless they're running for election in a red part of the state or enough of the Democrats weighing in on it are displeased with "that asshole".

In this instance the final vote tally was so in favor of "he should stay" that if there was malice it was probably someone trying to change the result to "he's gone".

When malice and incompetence are on the table the correct answer is usually incompetence.

"Tomorrow is a problem to be dealt with ... tomorrow."

California's GDP is the fifth largest in the world. If there was no US and all the states were independent countries instead here's where the largest ones would rank: #4 California (behind China, Germany, and Japan) #9 Texas #11 New York #19 Florida #21 Illinois #22 Pennsylvania (Puerto Rico...

Reagan wasn't all "peaches and sunshine". Pretending that he was is buying into the myth of "St. Reagan" who could do no wrong.

It was entirely mismanagement. If anyone would know about making that statement come true it would be Reagan. My ancestors were GOP stalwarts until his administration and effectively said "never again" after he was elected President. I got an "impolite talking to" when I mentioned that I'd...

Allowing it and California was a Republican stronghold for quite some time. Reagan was Governer of California before he was President.

I was thinking almonds and oranges, but rice is a better example of teh dumbs.

Too many good intentions and good ideas which weren't thought through paving a path straight to hell. "Let's grow water intensive crops in a place with nutrient rich soil that doesn't get enough rain to support them" followed by bitching when there's not enough water to go around is just one...

California isn't the entire US and the state legislature can't fix everything. Doubly so since California is pretty much broken.

Democrats: "We'll fix this catastrophe." Republicans: "We'll make sure you don't." I am way too jaded for someone in their early-40s.

There's this little thing known as NIMBY. "Not In My Back Yard". Something might seem like a great idea right up until the downsides of actually making it happen affects those who supported it, at which point they start to oppose it vehemently.
