May 14 David Nixon commented on Slog Drone vs. Seattle Parks Department.

Hm. Is it correct to call the drone a "model"? It's not like it's a miniature fake version of something else, right?

Mar 12 David Nixon commented on We Can't Make Gay Marriage Legal Because Then Gay People Will Start Having Sex.

It doesn’t look like he’s intentionally lying. It looks like he’s woefully misinformed. And how can a person be so misinformed here in The Information Age? Because right there on the internet, along with all the facts, is a mountain of bullshit, and we somehow have lost the ability to tell the difference. Instead of believing what’s most supported by the evidence, you can believe whatever you want and it’s easy to find something somewhere on the internet to support your belief. And if someone tries to correct you or to point out that your “evidence” is really bullshit, you can defend yourself by saying, “hey, I have a right to my opinion and you can have yours!” We want the decisions made by our government be based on facts instead of just random opinions, but that would require acknowledging that some people are experts who can be trusted to get things right a lot more often than any random person who can make a blog post.

Sadly, the democratization of knowledge is undermining democracy.

Feb 28 David Nixon commented on Senate Republicans Soothe Themselves with Supermajority Constitutional Amendment, but There's Zero Chance of It Seeing the Ballot.

Is that a state constitutional requirement, that property must be taxed equally? So, for example, we couldn't have a progressive property tax without changing the constitution? (I was just thinking it might be easier to change property tax structure than to impose an income tax, but maybe it's hamstrung by the same constitutional problem.)

Another great article about this situation at the national level: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/eve…

Nov 19, 2012 David Nixon commented on O They Will Know We Are Christians....

Gosh, I hope they're getting their tax exemptions for being a religious organization!

Nov 7, 2012 David Nixon commented on Seattle Cops on Pot: "People Can Expect No Enforcement for Possession".

Hypothetically: If your friend who has a medical marijuana card decided to GIVE you (not sell you) some of their legally purchased weed, that would be legal, right?

Sep 11, 2012 David Nixon commented on Mitt Romney Has Foreign Policy Proposals, He's Just Not Going to Tell You About Them Right Now.

He's reading that teleprompter like he has no idea what's about to appear on it. Reminds me a little of GWB reading his teleprompter and occasionally throwing in a little emphasis on the ends of sentences when he finally understood what he was saying.

Sep 8, 2012 David Nixon commented on Down and Out in Tampa and Charlotte.

Beautiful.

Jun 18, 2012 David Nixon commented on Facebook, Theater, and the Surveillance State: People Wanting to Look at Each Other and Wanting to Be Looked At.

Christians believe that all of humanity is essentially a surveillance state. God is watching everything, even listening to your thoughts.

Mar 10, 2012 David Nixon commented on Inslee Presser Prompts Speculation that He Might Step Down from Congress.

Looks like you were right:
