When Arlen found out she was pregnant this year, she was still finishing college and knew she didn't want a child.
...


Well...

was she on birth control?
Did they use a condom?
Was this an immaculate conception?

Or has the women's rights movement given the go ahead to just sleep around aimlessly without regards to consequence?

Because obviously those consequences and the fault for them are entirely on the woman.

Decision is always the woman's, except in cases of rape.

This is what we teach our boys, right?

Men can say no, too, Kid.

Surprise!

A team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a way to make cement without heating, potentially eliminating the carbon produced in the process.
Think about it. The manufacture of cement amounts to about 8 per cent of our total contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere.( without carbon to burn the needed furnaces don’t get to the required 1500 degrees Fahrenheit )

MIT research demonstrates how  best to fight Climate Change. Adaptation.
Of course this story has yet to attract any media attention.

They have also developed concrete that actually eats pollution.  Science is astounding, isn't it?  Next thing they will come up with is electric cars!....wait...

But who is going to get the concrete manufacturers to adopt a system they aren't used to and makes the concrete more expensive to produce, particularly when you consider the huge cost of fitting out the plants with entirely new equipment?

How is that any easier than, say, getting a coal plant to use scrubbers?

The link I posted has the question asked in aggregate.  But REDSTATEWARD wasn't given that link in the piece he is stealing from.

But you are exactly right, of course an aggregate question will give you a different overall response than asking about each of the issues independently.  Particularly, as I said, if the politician who wants Medicare for all needs to pay for it with higher taxes, but the candidate who wants lower taxes isn't also cutting all the programs they would need to.

If you don't think a polling result can hinge on how the question is phrased then not only should you take a refresher course you should be banned from posting about polls.
