Politically Possible

It is possible to disagree with both Republicans and Democrats. It is possible to disagree with liberals and not be a conservative. It is possible to disagree with conservatives without supporting liberals. It is possible to support racial justice and still disagree with the methods of Black Lives Matter.

It is possible to agree with one point and reject another--and doing so does not automatically mean one supports the opposing view. It is possible to consider each issue individually and base views and opinions on knowledge and logic instead of emotion. Finally, it is also not easy to be independent and reject the pressure to choose sides; while those who consider themselves smarter, who don't know better, attack your centrist position. But you can do these things if you are not afraid to follow your conscience instead of the mob.

Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...
