Also, I’d say Newtonian Mechanics is wrong.

I believe “supernatural” is a vacuous term because we do not yet know the limits of the natural world.

I wasn't expecting people to come out and say, "l love Trump because his a bigot, a racist and a misogynist, and so am I." So I'm not very surprised it didn't happen. — unenlightened
