   Considering the recent science news, the joke could have replaced “Magnetic Waves” with “Gravitational Waves”.

   I am so tired of this type of logical fallacy that tries to discredit a person’s current position on the basis of an ancient position held 10, 15, or 20 years in the past. The critic denies the person the right to change their mind.I would hope people change their mind on subjects as they mature, learn more, and ponder the subject.

   Ronald Reagan moved from being a Dem to a Rep.Norma McCorvey (the Roe in Roe v Wade) is now Roman Catholic and active in pro-life movement.

   It would be a sure bet that every critic who uses this ancient v modern comparison to discredit someone likewise has opinions that have changed over time and that they would be embarrassed to reveal.

   The closing joke in the last panel is Epic Fail for several reasons:(1) The Patriot Act is American legislation and even then only a small number of Americans even care about. As a result, the reference will leave many Americans and most non-Americans scratching their head wondering, “what is Patriot Act?”(2) The Patriot Act gave US Homeland Security more power to follow and track suspected terrorists. Therefore, the reference could imply the monochrome unicorn is a member of Homeland Security and that the unicorn thinks the girl is a threat.(3) Why is it necessary to put a political commentary into a comic strip about a girl and Her Little Pony? (oops, couldn’t resist)

   A better closing joke would have been for the unicorn to say something like: “Can you say ‘Google’?”
