Me on Reddit: People choose the option that is least frightening. They may be more afraid of giving up control, then they are of being sick or dying. People will choose the strangest things to be controlling about. The only time I have turned anti-vaxxers around is by knowing them over time. They still don't love vaccines, but they get their kids vaccinated to make me happy. They trust me and I trust vaccines. And I'm so obviously worried about them choosing not to vaccinate. As you continue your education you will discover how often we fly in the data-free zone. In those situations I let the patient pick the option they like best.

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary." --James D. Nicoll

Thoughts
1. Bloomberg is TOTALLY to left of Sanders on guns. Sanders represents a rural state with hunting and 3 quadruple homicides in the last 70 years.
2. If Sanders does nothing but protect Clinton’s left flank, dayenu. “Bernie is Clinton’s stalking horse.”
3. New Hampshire is the 3rd whitest state in the union. Vermont #1, Maine #2 Lands of my birth, breeding, and higher education.
4. My sister still lives in Maine, and she points out that electing Trump will resemble having LePage as governor. Google. Be afraid.
5. As a resident of a state with open primaries, I may vote in the Republican this year. I’ll have to wait and see how things are shaping up, but I would rather have Kaisch than anyone else.
6. I don’t think Bill is conflicted about Hillary being president because of his ego, I think he’s tired.
7. Hilary being a woman or Obama being black aren’t the only reasons people dislike them, but it does add to the butt-hurt-bro attitude of some people.
8. New Hampshire unofficial motto = No Taxes, No Services.
9. Sanders isn’t a “backslider” on people of color, but he does have a certain cluelessness. In his favor, he is trying mightily. “Tone Deaf” is a good way to put it.
10. I think if Sanders gets the nom, HRC may be VP. And then POTUS, because Sanders be old.
11. If I had to choose between Cruz and Trump, I would choose Trump. Cruz lies to himself, Trump lies to us. Go figure.
12. @Fabio “I know a President H Clinton could create another Vietnam. That’s a severe downside risk.” You have just hit the nail on the head of why I am going to stay with Sanders until he flames out. Hilary believes in heart, many of the things I believe. But she lacks a weighted bottom. She is not a weeble.
13. @Magda – she would have done it. See above.
