Fairy Tales vs. the Good Witch of the West

Last night's debate featured both, apparently. Ironically the Good Witch is not the one peddling the fairy tales.

The criticism that these things are impossible is of course accurate: we can't pay for the Social Security and Medicare we have now, let alone this ever-growing raft of additional plans we keep hearing about. Adding another plan to the pile just means more taxes, more debt, and less liberty to live the way I might prefer than the way she and hers might prefer I do instead.

At least we can contest 'dark psychic forces' without a spending program.

I don't think you need 'dark psychic forces' when you have an overdeveloped bureaucracy that wants to protect itself from the will of a lot of the general population, no matter what that requires. However, I would not be the least bit surprised if that ill-will hasn't led to some form of spiritual corruption.

And yes, when it is the New Age gurvi (guru-ess) who is the only one pointing at fiscal reality, the party (whichever one it is) has a serious problem.

Maybe not. That'll require licensing of churches and priests. That'll require its own spending program to monitor compliance and enforce the licensing. 'Course, the Satanists and atheists will object to their being required to be licensed.

Watching humans debate is a waste of my time be fore 2021. Getting anti melee light armor through tsa was more useful.

She, mw, has a long way to go before she gets as weird as me. I get why she is hard to comprehend though. Imagine the media trying to label and box ymar.
