You have to learn how to coast. Same goes for driving cars.

Just don't make a sharp turn in gravel. You might break something.

Good advice.

Neil deGrasse Tyson (tweet):
"The very best way to support and feed your delusions: Surround yourself with people whose world views match yours exactly."

Sounds like the local church to me ... and a lot of other cults too ... and Trump & Co.

Sounds like the "safe space" progressive liberal snowflakes demand.

Since I am the only conservative here, it sure doesn't apply to me.

Can't apply to Trump since the entire media is against him.

Anyways, I been thinking about giving up something for Lent. Perhaps Alt-Views would be perfect thing to give up, more difficult than sweets. See you later.

Trump is building his reputation around the world as the "Liar in Chief", particularly with his nonsense about wiretapping and Germany "owing NATO". Whatever credibility he had (if any) when coming to power, is being eroded away with every tweet.

So I guess we aren't those that support your world view and you're running to surround yourself with those that hold your world view? Just wondering???

I'm sad that bro Ohio is leaving AltV's. But then I'm a mugwump, and it's hard for me to surround myself with other mugwumps that hold my world view.

But that allows me to love those that don't hold my world view, and I like to surround myself with those that don't hold my world view.

I guess I don't get it. Jesus said love your neighbor and even your enemies. But Christians, typically but not always conservative, can't love those that don't hold their world view. Why? Aren't they followers of Jesus first an foremost? I guess not.

So I repeat. Politics is too dirty for Jesus.

But for the irony, this would be a classic sour-grapes rationalization.

I came miraculously close to being killed that way.
