The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But back to the point, the Rep party of today is not the party of Lincoln, and the Dem party of today isn't the party of Strom Thurman. They've both changed, and neither offers much diversity of thought today.

racket.news - Where have all the liberals gone
(From Matt Taibbi)

There can't possibly be controversy at this point as to whether or not this censorship program is going on. Whether it's the FBI forwarding the SBU asking for the removal of Aaron Maté, or the Global Engagement Center recommending action on the Canadian site GlobalResearch.Ca, or the White House demanding the takedown of figures like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the same types of behavior have now been captured over and over.

In light of this, I have to ask: where are the rest of the 'card-carrying' liberals from the seventies, eighties, and nineties ' people like me, who always reflexively opposed restrictions on speech?
