What kind of logic says we should go to colonise inhospitable Mars (which may be possible in time but with immense costs) rather than protect the beautiful planet we know can already support life? Will the rich climate change deniers finance relocatng Bangladesh and low lying islands etc. to Mars?

"RFK Jr says vaccines have DNA particles." 🧪 Does Mr. Kennedy eat any food with animal, plant or fungi sourced substances? Is someone going to tell him?

Yes, exactly. It is all about context. A word or phrase does not have a meaning in isolation. You cannot take an expression out of context and assume it has a fixed meaning that others with different lived experience will share.

🧪 Enjoyed watching 'Attenborough and the sea dragon' www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b... but "…the animal that produced this was almost certainly a cannibal - it ate other [sic] ichthyosaur species” By that account a chimp that kils and eats a monkey is a cannibal? Isn't cannnibalism within a species?

So, does this mean that if someone says "quick Mr President, there's an assassin in the building, jump out of this window onto the safety cushions we've placed below", it woud be an infringement of a constituional right for a security agent to find out and report that this was not actually the case?
