Libertarian is a political sect, no? Obviously think tanks have guiding philosophies that doesn't even need to be stated. I'm naturally distrustful of political think tanks as it's typically a bunch of people reinforcing their own preformed conclusions. But, sure I retract any criticism of your link as I have yet to read it. I still don't even know what "triggering" means in the context you are using it in. I suppose I'm supposed to be offended or something, but I'm pretty laid back.

I want serious self-reflection here... If I posted an article from the NYT or CNN would you bother to read it at all before dismissing it as biased? If so, how is dismissal of the Cato Institute different?

I see a lot of people talking about millenials like they have a pulse on our generation, but I feel we are the absolute perfect group to embrace a centrist movement. Time is on our side.

Referencing a partisan institute? You're not seeing how many of you are just whiney liberals turned on their heads.

Once again, I'm not outlaw guns guy, but you don't carry the thought out far enough to see the larger gun culture is responsible for both the good and the bad. Once again...your obsession over your own specific ways you identify actually make you the snowflake. There are a lot of you on both sides these days.

You are trying too hard here, you know what I mean.

Yet people are still split on Whaley...

You'd think there would be more reports of law abiding citizen stopping crime with his concealed carry. I'm not "get rid of guns" guy, but fear mongering arguments are cute.

We don't have any money for the top tier guys. I'm a fierce critic of Whaley and the FO, but that was reality this year.

I have low expectations for next year. I find it hard to believe they can fill all the glaring holes as well as improve depth to deal with the brutal season. DB positions aren't easy pickups for rookies either. Luckily it projects to be a decent draft for some of the need positions. I'll try being patient.

There are holes everywhere on this roster, but this was obviously the right thing.

Not surprising at all. I always thought Woods was a solid, reliable option. Just don't have a lot of space this year to pay all these guys.

Me, me, me, me, me. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine. The community is more important than you, every single time snowflake.

I didn't think Gilmore was the top five corner he wanted me be paid like, but the Pats just got a very solid CB. This sucks to hear.

Love the grand claims about the democratic party being obliterated beyond measure. Sounds a lot like the Republican party not so long ago. Good to know all of you are also TV changers.

Kellyanne has a bright future in marketing.

Any NFL failure who goes to play in Canada I have a lot of respect for.

We used to do stuff like this in middle school too.

I don't watch it on television, but go to both CNN and Fox's websites to see what each other is leaving out every day.

Nearly every crime has been normalized in this day. Seeking to explain or normalize actions is far from a recent phenomenon, you can find it in all cultures/periods, and any attempt to present that as a main stream media technique of any kind is a weak one. But to the actual topic...these topics are usually absurd and severely harm your arguments. Simply speaking strategically. I feel like even if you believe they are true it's easy to see why you wouldn't want to fight that fight.

Jury is still out. I hated the Rex hire and the ridiculous chain of command, not even because of Rex, but because I questioned how they could really talk X's and O's. Then the fans are being told our top five defense lacked the personnel necessary to run Rex's system? Why did you hire him then? The teams are safe though and they seem like nice people. I just question the football decisions.

Fair to point out, but I just meant that we did eventually enter. My point was, what if it had continued to prevail and we never had entered?

Whaley has always said long term, sustained success is the franchise's goal/vision. Yet they also push "win now" and have traded future assets for immidiete gains. I don't hate keeping Taylor, but any criticism of if being a half-measure is probably fair.

There is less communication, less cooperation, more abstract paranoia. That absolutely will halt technological progress. (Some may even desire this?) It also depends on how far you go with it. How much information sharing is shut down? How much commerce is halted? It it just stepping away from other's conflicts? Where would we be if the philosophy prevailed domestically leading to WWII? Also, back when future leadership was warned against involvement in foreign conflicts the argumentation was that our experiences and concerns couldn't possibly be all that similar. Today with the entire world connected that line of argumentation fails.

Pretty much exactly how I feel. I'm a little concerned this is too much of a half-measure, but hard to ignore that the defense, not Taylor, was the weak link the past two years.
