Tom Sarbeck replied to Steph S.'s discussion What are your Memorial Day plans? in the group Hang With Friends
"I agree, Ruth; many of America's wars have been wars of aggression. The glorification starts in children's toys and continues to veterans' burial ceremonies. It serves a purpose: it creates a supply of cannon fodder for profit. I lost…"

Tom Sarbeck replied to Alexandra's discussion Need help with irreducible complexity
"Alexandra, I'm going to try. I will first deal with possible communication problems.

Tom Sarbeck commented on Rachel Riley's blog post RAGE! (What I want to say but won't on FB)
"Rachel, your desire to reply is a compelling reason for replying, especially if you can express your anger at someone more powerful than you.

She was. I joke with women on their pushing men's buttons as a tactic in a lifelong effort to break men's dependence on the left side of our brains.
