Odd. I've never known anyone who did and I'm in my mid-60's. All my friends and family were over and done with that crap by 60. I hardly experienced it at all.

I had an early menopause, age 42. I'm 67 now and I still have hot flashes and less often, I'll have night sweats.

Weird. Maybe I had an easier time because I had a baby at 39. I've heard that women who have children later in life do have an easier time with menopause.

They would look about same, since their form follows their function. Law of physics dictate their kinda-phallic shape.

If you ask if ICBMs would exists at all, then yes. MAD doctrine and all of that. Unless, of course, you suggest women are suicidal idiots or like to be commie russians.

Phallic and yonic imagery doesn't change the necessity of factoring in aerodynamics when making a rocket.

You can't get a vagina to fly as well as a penis just because women instead of men are in power.

Didn't work for my wife. The hot flashes lasted for years, and still come occasionally. She's not quite 60.

I'm not worried about leftwing extremists.

Right-wing extremists appear to outnumber left-wingers by a very large margin. Vast majority of anti-government groups in particular are far-right.

Right Wingers aare by far the greater danger, now, but don't think the Left is not also capable of violence and has an autoratian wing.
I give you the Weatherman,the SLA, the Black Liberation Army and the Puerto Rican terroirst groups of the early 70's as proof of that.

of course they're capable in theory, as is basically every human thought taken to it's extreme, but who cares? it's become a mainstream position for the right

60 Minutes this evening is planning a look at the riot, the signs it was coming ahead of time, and the preparations for the inauguration.

I suppose the new President might technically need to be inaugurated, but, if I were the next President, I'd skip at least the public aspect of the inauguration completely; just do it inside in some secure building away from the usual famous sites in WDC, and let a few cameras in for TV & web-streaming. Of course, even before the Republican Party made itself officially the party of terrorism, I would probably have cancelled the big public spectacle/party of inauguration anyway as just a self-aggrandizing waste of money, so it's not something I needed much convincing for.

Johnson was inaugurated on Air Force One, while flying JFK's still-warm body back to Washington.

There are always extremes. But the radical left of the Weathermen and the SLA was tiny even in their heyday of the 60s and 70s. Yes, we should always be vigilant against authoritarian movements whether they come from either extreme. There just is no reason to even mention an extreme left as a concern today.

Small pedantic correction. The ceremony took place on the tarmac at Love Field. Not in the air. Ironically with Jackie observing while still wearing the dress that was splattered with her husband's blood.

At least far-left extremists groups of the 70s were inspired or supported by a foreign adversary.

The far-right extremism in this country today is for the most part homegrown. The fuel for much of the rightwing is the mere presence of non-white people, LGBT, and wackos on college campuses. Not to mention a misplaced fear of the perpetual enemy, Marxism.

The right-wing response to ostensible left-wing extremism is way overblown.

My understanding, wrong though I may be (never!), is that as soon as Kennedy was pronounced dead Johnson became president. The swearing in, such as the one to which you refer, with the oath of office specified in the constitution, is a ceremonial step into the history books.

Yes and no. The 25th Amendment was a response to JFK's assassination.

So much was wrong with that swearing in ceremony. Jackie refused to leave Dallas without her husband's body and the coroner in Dallas was trying to refuse releasing the body as he was demanding that an autopsy be done in Dallas as it was a murder that took place in that city. LBJ just forced everything.

I suppose the new President might technically need to be inaugurated, but, if I were the next President, I'd skip at least the public aspect of the inauguration completely; just do it inside in some secure building away from the usual famous sites in WDC, and let a few cameras in for TV & web-streaming. Of course, even before the Republican Party made itself officially the party of terrorism, I would probably have cancelled the big public spectacle/party of inauguration anyway as just a self-aggrandizing waste of money, so it's not something I needed much convincing for.

I give you the Weatherman,the SLA, the Black Liberation Army and the Puerto Rican terroirst groups of the early 70's as proof of that. There are always extremes. But the radical left of the Weathermen and the SLA was tiny even in their heyday of the 60s and 70s. Yes, we should always be vigilant against authoritarian movements whether they come from either extreme. There just is no reason to even mention an extreme left as a concern today.

Small pedantic correction. The ceremony took place on the tarmac at Love Field. Not in the air. Ironically with Jackie observing while still wearing the dress that was splattered with her husband's blood.

But that the left is incapable of evil is something too many people here seem to buy into. And, never forget, one extreme always fuels the other extreme. At least far-left extremists groups of the 70s were inspired or supported by a foreign adversary. The far-right extremism in this country today is for the most part homegrown. The fuel for much of the rightwing is the mere presence of non-white people, LGBT, and wackos on college campuses. Not to mention a misplaced fear of the perpetual enemy, Marxism. The right-wing response to ostensible left-wing extremism is way overblown.

They can repeat words, but can't really form coherent thoughts. They're idiots.
