		<description>Elizabeth has a hot date Sunday evening — neener neener neener!





Hope you get lucky and of course I’d be happy to wait until next Sunday. Anticipation…anticipation…is making me wait!





I really enjoyed lastnSunday and I just KNOW that you’re going to turn me on to Niel Young songs that I may have overlooked. So, no worries my good Canadian Sister.</description>

		<description>Yeah, I had to look stochastic, too. 




I’d have called Trump the “instigator” of domestic terrorism rather than using stochastic.</description>

I dispute the concept that there are degrees of humanity, but if you insist that that is a legitimate concept, then you&#039;ve gotta accept that that same concept applies to the downward part of the cycle of human existence.  

If you are less human because you are not yet fully formed, then you are inevitably likewise less human after parts of you have been lost to deterioration as you approach the end of the cycle.</description>

		<description>Andy and poet on [3] and [4],
I agree that stochastic is an impossible word in today&#039;s politics. I&#039;m the first to admit I have no idea what it means, and I do have a pretty good vocabulary.

But Chris&#039;s point is good, that Trump himself is not a terrorist in the sense of actually committing the criminal acts.

I suggest &#039;proxy terrorist&#039; as a description for Trump might ring more bells in people&#039;s heads who need some waking up about what he is doing with his hateful and provocative rhetoric.</description>

		<description>Caddy, do you have Neil&#039;s concert film on dvd, Neil Young - Heart of Gold, taped in August 2006 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. I play that whenever I&#039;m feeling out of sorts for whatever reason and need to chill out. I&#039;ve been playing it a lot, lately. It features the world premiere of his album, Prairie Wind, plus most of his hits, including The Needle and the Damage Done.</description>

		<description>Hey, Caddy ... unfortunately, this Sunday evening will be impossible for me, in more ways than one. Can we aim for next Sunday?

Or, you can take the reins yourself and I may be able to chime in for a bit, much later in the evening ...</description>

		<description>andygaus,

&lt;i&gt;but a baby one day short of being born is much more human and deserves to have more rights.&lt;/i&gt;

I hope you are not implying that abortions are being perfomed right up to the moment of birth, are you? Because, I don&#039;t see this absurd claim as being pertinent to the effort of having legislatures or the judiciary restrict the practice.</description>

		<description>Hey Elizabeth!




I dod drink that damned alcohol this evening and thence crawled in the bed for to prosecute tomorrow.





But I suddenly found myself pawing around in the dark for my cellphone — I simply HAD to hear &lt;a href=&quot;“&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Needle and the Damage Done.&lt;/a&gt;



So what do you think about a Sunday evening musical throw-down featuring my all-time fave Paul Simon and my second all-time fave singer-song writer Neil Young? With so heavy choices the suggestions would just a-tumble out effortlessly.</description>

		<description>The trouble with talking about stochastic terrorism is the word &quot;stochastic.&quot; It seems like a word calculated to stick in your throat,and it needs to be explained to every single person who is supposed to understand the phrase. I would explain it (or rename it) by saying that it is &quot;sooner or later&quot; terrorism. You keep saying that John Doe is evil and unAmerican, and sooner or later someone draws the logical enough conclusion that the world would be a better place without John Doe and makes plans to eliminate him.</description>

		<description>Pardon me while I exercise my stupidity. An embryo of 16 cells is human, but a baby one day short of being born is much more human and deserves to have more rights. The distinction is an awkward one, but practically speaking, it needs to be made.  Yes, there are degrees of how human a pregnancy has become. A fetus is more human than an embryo, almost by definition, because it has assumed something like a human shape.</description>

		<description>Re TP2 &quot;Why not zero weks??&quot;

Or, for Dems, why not zero weeks plus one week?  Being expelled from the womb does not make a human being the slightest bit more human than he/she was just prior to the expulsion.  

Human existence is an unbroken continuum from conception to death.  Defining arbitrary points on the continuum as positions where human life is somehow more or less human is an exercise in stupidity.</description>
