i think their point might have been -

you don’t have to, enough of this country either heard it and didn’t care, or just doesn’t care

leading a horse to water and all that, maybe?

are you white, by chance? i find that there’s a strong correlation between not understanding and caucasity - as a middle-aged white man myself, it was a blind spot for me, at least.

but also there’s a shitload of american culture that’s downright vicious to people who aren’t white, so having a community that shared something (in this case, skin colour vis-a-vis oppressive history/current events) is a powerful draw that i absolutely understand.

edit: the only people i see celebrating “white” are reactionary racists who seem to be able to not be able to tolerate others enjoying their skin colour or culture or whatever they enjoy.

i’ll bite.

i hope they get exactly what they voted for.

i think the common response to that (biased, cause this is what we do in my lawn) is that by letting things get wilder, more natural tick predators come out as well - possum, snake, bird, etc.

that being said, i’ve had to pick a few off me…the price for wild turkeys flocking in my yard is one i’m willing to pay!

edit:changed your to my to clarify!

i’ve watched them all - and i definitely agree with what seems to be the overall feeling: season 10 starts the decline.

that being said, there are plenty of good and fine ones in the middle 20 (lol) to make the watch decent. i also think the newer seasons (maybe the past 3,4?) have more winners than the shows had for a while.

i think the only episodes that i find truly objectionable are the ones built entirely around either a real-life ‘celebrity’ or have a real life ‘celebrity’ play a character that is pivotal…those episodes i just don’t really watch (few exceptions, of course - i like the 24 spoof with kiefer sutherland and a few more)

really depends on what “dissenting views” means to you, though, doesn’t it?
