They're both loon bins as far as I'm concerned.
Anyone who wants to kill anyone because of their beliefs are lunatics.

I hadn't read very far, so I jumped to a conclusion.  


"Officials have said that it is the first high-profile case linked to the pro-mortalist ideology and are now monitoring it as a potential emerging threat. Authorities have urged families and communities to remain vigilant for signs of ideological extremism, especially among those who may feel disenfranchised."


So that's one for a fringe group, vs. at least 40 bombings, 200+ arsons, a dozen murders, and that's not counting the 'attempted' column.  Sorry if I was overzealous in pointing a finger at the 'Pro-life' crowd.  I'll go ahead and pre-apologize, because next time there is a bombing at a fertility/family services clinic, I'm going to go ahead with the same assumption. Time will tell which group of idiots gets the largest tally.

I fixed your geography.

That's okay. I'm sure I'm not as accurate on your neck of the woods either.
Your right about one thing. Those high desert communities attract some interesting characters.
Way back in the late 50's- early 60's, my grandparents moved to the very north part of this valley... Desperate Hot Flash. Just below Menopause Valley.
I asked my grandmother one day in '59... "What's up that road?" She responded: "That's where the "saucer people" live."

I'm not sure I grasp your political statement.
This idiot wasn't targeting an abortion clinic. It was a fertility center.
They promote "expanding" the population. Something us "religious zealots" extol. Kinda.
Those "other groups"...  like Napoleon Blownapart here; want to curb the population.
Hence the assault on this business.
Ehhh?

As you know, Coachella has enough going on to keep it pretty balanced. But just a little farther WEST in the inland empire, there are some pretty goofy radicals playing out (NORTH 29 Palms) in the desert. I imagine a lot of those people feel pretty justified/emboldened by the current political climate.

Here in the Coachella Valley?
Here I thought the only problem we had were slow moving snowbirds.

One person killed after explosion outside fertility clinic; police say act was ‘intentional’

You've / you all have been taken in by a system of artificial values to aspire to.  

I learned back in the early 70's that it was a crock of shit and decided not to play the / that game.  I went my own way instead and have stayed on that course the best I could ever sense.  Seriously.

A 60's synonym for hollow would be plastic. That was the "plastic" world described back then, something to stay far, far away from if you valued your soul.  The ultimate payoff would be disappointment.   Joining that world was termed selling out in those days.  Those who tried to do both were called weekend warriors and that usually did not end well for those warriors because they would get caught up in the games and lies they had to use in order to survive in the straight uptight world.

Awhile back someone posted a thing about corporate retreats that engaged in microdosing lsd.  And the end results of these retreats were that many execs and CEO's simply up and quit and changed their lives completely focusing on indulging themselves instead of whoring themselves.  I did macrodosing beginning in the 60's and reached the same conclusions back then which I mentioned above.

As I said, you're late to the party.  We are talking about the same thing, but you just cannot see it.

I could go on, but meh, y'all are in a different reality and have no interest in my POV.  

I said MACRODOSING.

You need glasses or better reading comprehension or both

Pretty sure those are two different experiences as reviewed here, not convinced that comparing them is apple:apples or that it's pertinent to the topic to begin with.

Calling BS on this one. Microdosing in the 1960's was extremely rare outside the supervision in a medical lab, certainly not readily available to a kid in middle school or early high school. I'm not inexperienced in this area, believe me. Taking a half tab of street window pane is hardly microdosing.  You're right, I'm not interested in the Forrest Gump version of your life you often put out here.

We do not intersect anywhere.

bump K. if you are so free of the plastic world, why are you so enamoured of MAGA which is about as plastic as it gets.  Or do you seriously think this is just some kind of meta joke making fun of real achievement by faking it?
