There would be no performance if there were no spectators.

These guys already know they are being offensive. In fact, usually, being aggressive toward women is the reason for the harassment. I understand that you'd like to strike back but should you even acknowledge the harassment and give them satisfaction or should you pretend you didn't hear and let them stew in their lonely, creepy reality?

@15 - Not farfetched insofar conservatives have little regards for political rights (see the political disenfranchising of low of income and ethnic Americans for example) but you are comparing apples and oranges. The IRS targeted 300 organizations for review, 1/4 of which were conservative. 1/4 of the entire lot is too few considering the well known astroturfing nature of the tea party, and its financing by oligarchs.

The mouthpieces for the oligarchs don't need additional reasons to demonize the taxman and government but the timing of what appears to be a false* scandal, followed by resignations, just as the IRS is finally about to conduct a tax haven investigation, is indeed quite suggestive.

*it stands to reason that those most likely to receive onepercenter money in the wake of Citizens United be targeted regarding avoidance of tax exemption rules.

@4 - Keep eating shit if it floats your boat but there is no need to blame your acculturation on the messenger.

@11 - What is probably happening is a giant uncontrolled experiment on human populations since WW2 with the untested introductions of 10,000s of synthetic molecules to our environment. But hey, there is no 'proof' that any of it is responsible for the various epidemics so be a good experimental subject and keep eating your pesticides, phenol-A, etc.

May 14 anon1256 commented on For the First Time in Six Decades, Americans Are Driving Less.

There are 2 stories here. One is that miles driven per capita started decreasing gently before the recession (mid-2005) and the other is total miles driven started decreasing sharply in late 2007 at the beginning of the recession. My guess is the millenials driving less now angle is overstated.

Btw, this drop in total miles driven explains most of the decrease in CO2 emissions touted as significant progress toward emissions goals.
