The quotations appear to change with each (re)load of a page. As such it would be good to quote the quotation.

I knew they changed, but hadn't noticed that it was that frequently! Thanks-- will try to go back & add it

Was aware of changing quotations, but not the rapidity, probably thinking it was daily because I was too engrossed in a book that had finally arrived. so here it is:
A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a generation grows up that is familiar with it. - Mac Planck
So guess there's some hope...I'll give Kevin Drum credit for using this to increase optimism.

As hateful as they are, it's the politicians packing heat as they campaign - & win- who are most frightening to me. And when they've been elected & announce that they will "gleefully" sign legislation to deny women's right to make decisions once affirmed under Roe, it doesn't help to remember all that talk about wanting to unite citizens.
