    Yes, Zonker – why do you? :-)

    Good for BD. About time he gets out of this ahead.

    And he’ll get one more cheer if Zonker does decide to move out…

    He’s just bridging the gap between the extremities. He’s a troll bridge. Don’t let him get your goat.

    Slackers shouldn’t be surprised when their income is slack.

    @AKHenderson “Slackers shouldn’t be surprised when their income is slack.”

    I’m sure Trudeau meant it ironically, but consider that the woman in the coffee shop at work gets there at about 5am and works two jobs (I don’t know what ii is but I bet she works much later than me). Life isn’t fair whaen her income is slack too.

    Pay scales are perfectly fair. Everyone is paid exactly what they are worth and not a penny more. Its the magic of the free market.

    Of course as a legal pot farmer Zonk will be worth a great deal more. He has a perfect green thumb in that respect.

    OK Doc, I understand your frustration and agree that ignoring them is best, but don’t you ever just want to let the leash slip on your inner troll and let it run free? There is so much fodder out there for it to feed on.

    Sometimes Adam Smith’s invisible hand steals your wallet. Other times, it just gives you the finger, and you never realize it’s happening, because it’s invisible.

    I am not sure BD needs a babysitter anymore. Sam seems to have grown up lately. There are other characters who will have babes soon, however…

    Is it a mountain troll or a cave troll? If it’s a cave troll and if you just keep quiet, it will go away. If it’s a mountain troll, you have to strike it down.

    I see Guard Sargent is still wasting people’s time with his ignorance. Where has Tucci been lately, they finally ban him? You miss a lot when you’re happily dealing with family.

    On the issue of the strip and the Supreme Court, these should be non-issues. I believe in the Bible. I also believe that it isn’t my/our place to restrict others civil rights. I believe God will decide in the end who was right and wrong. I also believe that their are a lot of “Christians” that are going to be very surprised when they are before the Lord and he asks if they have followed the one commandent Jesus issued to all of us, believers and non. He told us to love one another as he has loved us. It is not our place to judge.

    Now, having said all of that, it is upon us to provide for the health and safety one another. Unfortunately, for some, we must provide rules and regulations to keep people from harming others with their use/abuse of different drugs. Hence, if you drive impaired, you cand be arrested for being unsafe. If you steal to buy drugs, you can be arrested. If you are under a certain age, you must be protected from your own immature judgement. But, prison is not the answer unless you do harm to others.

    Rant over.

    I understand your point, but I’m not sure I agree. Shining a spotlight on the nut-jobs undersores how out of touch they really are. I say we should encourage them to explain their fantasies in detail. They won’t persuade anyone that they’re right, but they will turn off some undecideds. And they’ll go to bed feeling like Don Quixote. A win for everyone.

    It’s hard to argue here. BD has certainly paid dues. And Zonker still likes to get high rather than get a grownup job, after all these years. To paraphrase Hyman Roth, ‘These are the businesses they’ve chosen.’

    “You mean hypothesis, theories are proven.”

    The following was drummed into me in graduate school courses, when I studied the scientific method:“Scientific theories are never proven, only supported (sometimes by an overwhelming amount of evidence) because there is always the possibility of new information that may show them to be incomplete or incorrect.”http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_are_theories_never_provenI recall that the term “level of confidence” was bandied about quite freely. If you want to look into the meaning of this term, you can find it in Google.

    I wasn’t talking about facts to back things up. I was talking about “proof,” as regarded by the scientific community. Say, if you report that you see a white crow, and others report the same thing, these reports don’t constitute proof. There is a one in gogolzillian chances that the reporters were either lying or hallucinating. (BTW, I’m reading Oliver Sack’s latest book, Hallucinations. Amazing!)

    Even if what’s regarded as the white crow were analyzed microscopically and blah de blahly, there still wouldn’t be proof. However, the hypothesis would be supported by a pretty dang good stack of facts.

    My comments on Doonesbury are designed to encourage a lively (friendly) debate on the topical issue and may or may not reflect my actual opinions. The very political nature of this strip makes this an appropriate forum for such debates. I refrain from making personal or insulting attacks on other comments.

    Gaaa! Just realized that I misspelled the name of one of my favorite authors, last sentence, third comment above this one. It’s Oliver Sacks, so the possessive should be “Sacks’,” or it could be “Sacks’s.”
