It was! Back in my Navy days, coming back in to port in Long Beach CA from sea was like returning to hell. You could see it really prominent, a big Orange dome of crap in the air over the LA basin. Then you entered the dome, soon your eyes would start to burn a bit, your olfactory system verified, you're in. A couple day later your eyes quit weeping, but you still couldn't smell a steak. Then upon returning to sea and clean air... Oh this is marvelous.
I had the same problem living in San Jose during the 80s and early 90s as as boy. When my family moved up here in 1995, it was like stepping into another world. But I still had lasting effects from horrible allergies (which was probably more to do with my mother's smoking at the time) and hay fever.
Ha! We need a new button. I wanted to like this but it just ain't cool, but fuck it, I like it anyway.
This thread looks like the government. Democrats say, it's the Republicans fault. Republicans say, it's the Democrats fault. It's like I'm watching CNN or FNN.
I've said it in about 5 posts in this thread. Only a stubborn mule could have missed my whole theme. I'll let you keep guessing.
Find COSTS discovered by funding STUDIES so you and I can argue about them. Till then every thread like this is a collection of spacey philosophy speeches.
And as I said....where do we get the money? I asked you this, and then you went on into some rant about Republicans. When you can answer THAT, then we can start a reasoned debate.
We all celebrate in different ways but I respect your cultural traditions....fortunately Oregon is not that close to Los Angeles and all those pyromaniacs!
As I answered, since you want all studying, teaching, learning, and training ended because you claim we can't afford it, we can start at military colleges, to change your mind. You then went on a rant, not me. You can begin your studying by studying my posts. Me, I'm learning the buttons which set you off.

Revised 27 January 2016. Accepted 28 January 2016. Available online 6 February 2016. Highlights Some have asserted that conservatives are less well disposed toward science. It has been claimed that they are inflexible, dogmatic and intolerant. Different sub-dimensions of political orientation can be separated. We distinguish between three definitions of ‘conservative’. Economic conservatives are as or more literate and optimistic about science. Abstract It is frequently asserted that conservatives exhibit a cognitive style that renders them less well disposed toward science than progressives, and that they are correspondingly less trusting of scientific institutions and less knowledgeable about scientific ideas. Here we scrutinize these assertions, using data from the U.S. General Social Survey. We distinguish between three different definitions of ‘conservative’: first, identifying as conservative, rather than as liberal; second, holding socially conservative views, rather than socially progressive views; and third, holding economically conservative views, rather than economically leftist views. We find that self-identified conservatives and social conservatives are less scientifically literate and optimistic about science than, respectively, self-identified liberals and social progressives. However, we find that economic conservatives are as or more scientifically literate and optimistic about science than economic leftists. Our results highlight the importance of separating different sub-dimensions of political orientation when studying the relationships between political beliefs, scientific literacy and optimism about science.
Or...we could start with not funding colleges that encourage their students to run off to safe spaces and riot? That would save us a LOT of money.
