General Discussion

1. Did it influence the presidential race 44 years ago?

2. Why should I be fixated on the past like this?

3. (Let's call it 2a.) Was the "rescuee" faking it? White or brown but in blackface? Got any evidence for the otherwise baseless and evidence-free accusation?

In other words, besides Reagan-hatred, why should I care about something 40 years past? Just because it says something bad about somebody I want to think bad things about? Sorry. I'm in 2024, not ...wherever-then. What is, is. What will be is not, but will be. What was, isn't ... Whuh-eh-vuh.

Soon I'll show my students simulations of Chicxulub's impact near what's now the Yucatan. But I'm not going to confuse 2024 with the Chicxulub year. (Although, you know, I might just have enough TP to get me through that.)
