First time i've ever agreed with Mike Lee (except for the Tim Kaine part - he's a snoozefest) ---> Too funny :D

“She’s [Warren] captivating. She is really smart. And I believe she is kind of a hero among a lot of people in the Democratic Party including a lot of people who have been big fans of Bernie Sanders. So I suspect that would be a strong play if Hillary Clinton were to go in that direction.”

“There is an embarrassment of riches among Senate Democrats who could be strong VP’s. Amy Klobuchar would be good. Tim Kaine would be good and so would Cory Booker,” he said.

Waiting for proof she isn't part Native American. DNA tests (as suggest by Scott Brown) wouldn't prove anything one way or the other.

Hope Trump supporters keep up the WHOOP WHOOP stuff! :cool:

True. I smoke cigars on occasion. That is it.

Maybe once I am officially retired I will smoke something that could get me in front of a court-martial today.

That is OK. The American Indians wouldn't notice.

It's an important scene from The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, which is currently my favorite movie from the legendary anime film director Isao Takahata, whose other famous works include such films as Grave of the Fireflies and My Neighbors the Yamadas. The film is a unique, and very progressive, spin on The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, which is Japan's oldest folk tale. Like most other Studio Ghibli films, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya is very much about the importance of being allowed to control your own destiny. Unlike Hayao Miyazaki's happy pictures though, this one doesn't have a happy, reassuring ending.

I LOVE the heartfelt animation style and music in this picture as well! In terms of animation, for example, you'll notice that they didn't rely on tremendous detail or edit out the "passion strokes" to make the images look more realistic. They left the "passion strokes" in to fill every image with a sense of naturalistic energy. The closing song is likewise a perfect match for these same themes: it's by an untrained, naturally gifted performer. I really love everything about The Tale of the Princess Kaguya! Here's a trailer for the movie:

As to my blog, I haven't added anything to it in a couple years and some of the philosophy I articulated there isn't stuff I still believe. These days I consider myself an anarchist communist, for example, and I've come to a place of rejecting the Silicon Valley futurism I promoted on my blog, mostly because I've come to see that stuff like the masses gaining access to 3D printing technology and stuff isn't actually going to happen, which in turn makes me skeptical that an end to the current system is at all inevitable. Instead, I see the radically egalitarian reorganization of political and economic life as a long-term moral project rather than some historical inevitability. The most important real-world example of the kind of reorganization I see as ideal (or at least headed in an idyllic direction) is concentrated in the Rojava Revolution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rojava_conflict) in northern Syria. But thank you for expressing interest in my ideas!
