You understood it because convection, conduction and radiation as the three basic means of heat transfer is programmed into our minds from high school science. But don't overdo that, the importance is what the analogy represents as means of disseminating ideas.

The heat transfer part was my favorite part. That isn't my area of specialty, but I do have to account for heat transfer in all my systems.

I thought that in particular you would like the heat analogy.

I just love Ben!!

Well said.

People do move to escape what they have wrought, then repeat it -- from CA to TX and NV, too, and from northeast states to the southeast. Radical leftists have been moving to rural areas as observed in MT and ME.

But that is a shift in the voting distribution and does not account for the wave of leftism on average nationally. A constant barrage of opinion and distorted news based on bad, anti-American philosophy and worse is flowing everywhere from the media and education, and spreading through people talking among themselves. When people migrate between states they don't just vote for what they left behind, they talk to their new neighbors. That is all how cultures change.

So it's not just bodies moving to vote, it's spreading ideas everywhere analogous to the flow of heat: through the convection of the migration, the conduction between people, and the radiation from the media and educational establishments -- the professional intellectuals. To cure the terminal infection first understand the nature of the disease.

That is why I referenced the two Ayn Rand articles above directly dealing with the nature of this problem as primarily intellectual and what the contrasting philosophies are. There a couple of militant anti-Ayn Rand cowards on this forum who routinely 'downvote' whatever I post, including references and links to Ayn Rand, like the one above. They do not belong on this forum -- or if that is now deemed to be the "community standard" here, perhaps the best people no belong here anymore than in the worst of the states.

The more traditional Democrats see how she is demolishing their base. They are already talking about redistricting to push her out.

Have you ever heard of the saying don't be so open minded that your brains fall out? It's an old saying but it has bering on the educational system of today. Everything is not only allowed but encouraged as long as it is "non-traditional".

This seems to be embracing stupidity as the new norm. Welcome to the new narrative "You don't need to understand the world or people; They just need to understand you, accept you and forcibly trample anyone that disagrees."

Her type of thinking doesn't build or grow anyone, it only makes enemies of polarizing people. I agree with the acceptance of others, even the ones you don't yet understand. However, I don't agree with accepting violent ignorance. Some people need correction and this spoiled SJW needs a good deal of it.

It's both. I live in OR, and can attest that some 30 percent of the state is comprised of Californians who have moved north to escape the high cost of living (ironically due in large part to liberal policies).

There DOES need to be a strong voice in promoting the right ideas. The left has successfully demonized black and white in favor of a more "nuanced" view of the world in which there is no right or wrong.

The cure is spreading the right fundamental ideas instead of the wrong ones. See Ayn Rand's "What Can One Do" and "Don't Let It Go" in Philosophy: Who Needs It.

States 'going blue' is a national phenomenon. It isn't due to internal migration; more people believe the wrong ideas. The wrong philosophy is spread every day from the professional intellectuals and their followers. Those moving to another state and voting for what they just left is only one source influencing the distribution. It's about ideas, not bodies moving around.

The true utopia of romanticized primitives.

"Territorial" with elastic territory. Tribalism always exists confined within such territories. If they intermix within the same space they annihilate each other faster.

I still have trouble seeing how an imbecile like Sinema can win over McSally. Whatever pollutant is in the waters of the Peoples Republics of NY and Kalifornia must be getting into Az as well.

Yes, they want a return to the romantic and peaceful days of the tribal Native-American dancing in the forest making kissy face with Bambi. Just ask the Erie people after whom Lake Erie is named, they'll tell you all about it. Oh wait... you can't because the Erie were virtually stamped out of existence by the Iroquois, particularly the Seneca, during the Iroquois/Huron wars, which began even before the white man arrived and ended around 1660. The Erie were cousins/allies of the Huron "empire" pressing the Seneca in what is now Western NY and the Mohawk up on the St. Lawrence region. I guess the Huron were one of the main reasons the Iroquois Confederacy was formed. Some Erie were captured and enslaved by the Iroquois (mainly Seneca as keepers of the Western Gate) and eventually absorbed and the rest fled into Huron territory and were absorbed by them. In any case, the Erie are no more - and the white man didn't do it. So much for kissy face with Bambi.

I understand that are MABA hats available. Stands for "make Alexandria bartend again"

As is the case in Oregon, Florida, and many other states. We need a cure for this terminal infection!

To the far gone left, individual ownership is a flaw of human nature they wish to correct.

Thanks for the laugh...

You are correct in stating they "had no concept of property rights and ownership" as pertaining to individuals, but they were still territorial peoples on a tribal level as in Iroquois territory vs Huron territory or Aztec territory vs Inca territory. You're also right regarding brutality. A Huron found east of the Niagara River may well find his head being used as the ball in a Seneca game of La Crosse.

And Nevada swept blue last November. We rural Nevadans really need a state based electoral college. We are doomed by the idiots in Vegas, all who recently (in my lifetime) came from elsewhere.

Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo - 1848
Gadsden Purchase - 1854

What is the point of arbitrarily saying after George Washington's presidency if you don't mean to associate it specifically with George Washington's presidency? 1844 was also "after" the Pilgrims, "after" Attila the Hun, "after' the dinosaurs. Random words, pretending a confusion wasn't a confusion, or both?

Hillsdale is a religious conservative institution. That matters. Most attend because they do adhere to the proselytization there. They don't "have" to; most would not attend such a college for no purpose and regardless of what it is. Those with a purpose care what the institution is for and does.

Could very well be. The Moors were in Spain I do recall.

Maybe Cortez has as much Indian blood in her as Elizabeth Warren?
