Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise? The Australian Herald Sun presents it as the Right Brain vs Left Brain test, providing a list of the corresponding right/left brain functions. If you see the movement as clockwise, you allegedly use more of the right side and vice versa, though coming from a place where even water flushes in reverse, this can mean quite the opposite. We, however, see this optical illusion as an unexpectedly simple way to describe the complex mechanism of adding subjective spin to objective reality. It also sheds light on the darker sides of human condition and the roots of human conflicts.
Our path to understanding reality lies through individual subjective impressions - but we also need rational thinking and logic to process the impressions and go beyond the subjective. Despite what the mainstream media would like you to believe, the truth is not the sum of individual or collective opinions, as in "Most Americans Believe The Dancer Is Turning Clockwise."Quote:

Once the Imperial President and his minions departed, representitives of various left-wing groups would then step in to assume control of the executive branch and begin fixing all the problem that had been created. The absolute, multi-level lunacy of this idea would waste too much bandwidth to sort out.Quote:

Commissar M, does it really matter who is in control of the Executive, Judicial, or Legislative Branch, or have they all become interchangeable?

I heard some arguments to the effect that it was just a symbolic effort that the organizers clearly understood would not work. Really? Then why do it? Doesn't it seem awfully cynical to plan an event that is almost certain to fail but to present it as if it might succeed?

Progressives are incapable of being bigoted or hateful. All such behaviour apparently exhibited by Progressives is actually the work right-wing agents prentending to be leftist in order to undermine the movement. I most recently heard that from Sheldon Drobny but it sounds an awful lot like the excuse I used to hear back in the day when some "peaceful" protest turned violent. Oh no, my comrades would insist, WE weren't being violent. It was those damned anarchists/ drunken Marines/ plainclothes cops/ undercover government agents that got in to our march and started all the trouble.Daniel Ortega

This reporter/columnist is every bit a hypocrite just like the Evangelical Nazi's that she detests.comrade dirk
Zampolit, hypocrisy is the very foundation of progress. Do you know why we demand that a common prole drive a car as large as a pack of gum with an engine that couldn't power a pocket calculator, while we take a private jet to go to the grocery store? HYPOCRISY THAT'S WHY! Without it we'd be reduced to the same drab, filthy lifestyle as the proles and I for one would rathe die before I gave away one of my six Feraris.Commissarka Pinkie
And what's this nonsense about a woman having to keep her legs covered around powerful men in Washington? Does she also pinch her cheeks, instead of using rouge like "bad women" do? Does she think it's proper to show her "buzzum" 'fore three o'clock?Quote:

What I find interesting is that she mentioned her legs had been scarred from a recent accident. How does she know Pillsbury Doughboy wasn't staring rudely (perhaps even in revulsion) the way some people do at scars, deformities etc.? I almost envy her high self-esteem.
