There are two possible outcomes:
If the result confirms the hypothesis,
then you've made a measurement.
If the result is contrary to the hypothesis,
then you've made a discovery.

Enough of the intolerant PC "progressives" attacking other people's culture: "What did I do?" Responsible, too! "Enough of the Confederate"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
There are morons out there who feel generations-old statues constitute a threat to them and their own beliefs! "Enough of the Confederate"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
The last time I checked, the statue of Robert E. Lee hasn't assaulted a single "progressive", not even Pelosi! "Enough of the Confederate"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
No, you haven't. All you've shown is that some PC "progressives" feel threatened by peaceable statues.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
No, you idiots give them priceless publicity, provoke confrontations; people get hurt, and you say "It's the other guy's fault."— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Hello, moron! McMullin ran for POTUS against Trump as an independent Feel foolish, yet?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
It's time to get rid of politically correct, intolerant bastards like you.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Get back on your meds. Drawing parallels between Trump and Hitler goes beyond crackpot; it's serious mental illness. And I'm a NeverTrumper.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
This is just flat out wrong or misleading. Deportations are actually down under Trump. The deficit/debt weren't cut, just timing of revenues— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017

I wonder how "progressives" would feel if the alt-right tore down a statue of Obama or Lincoln and dragged it through the streets.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
You mean the slavery of the South marginalized under the Northern majority? For most Southerners, these men defended their homes.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
This is ignorant nonsense. There's a reason why it was called the National Socialist Party. It embraced the social welfare net.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Ignorant, intolerant left-fascists voted for Clinton.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Anti-fascism is necessarily against the State. Fascism is all about the State at the expensive of the individual. You have both left & right— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Merkel is an enemy of the free market. She embraces the anti-consumer EU cartel. Trump is also an opponent of the free market.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
You have the mainstream media, which serve as mouthpieces for the corrupt State. At least Fox gives an alternate perspective.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
No. First of all, racism is far from the biggest problem we have. We have a fully integrated economy. But the best tactic is to ignore it.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Well, Trump is hostile to open trade and open immigration. Until he reverses those economically illiterate positions, it's accurate.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Let's recall that the Virginia rally was provoked by elitists imposing their intolerance on Southerners. "How Germany"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
I'm not impressed by dictionaries that are ignorant of reality. Read the works of Mussolini and Hitler. They subjugate the individual.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Nope. The United States was born as a rejection of tyranny. The North invaded the South with no moral legitimacy, a new form of tyranny.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
You know, for someone who bashed Bush's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, why hasn't Trump pulled our troops out yet? "Two U.S."— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
No, the response to racism is not suppression but open discussion. All the PC intolerant people do is exacerbate it."What Trump Got Wrong"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Yup, been there, done that. I've seen statistics that 30-60% of us lefties have an inverted or hooked hand writing. https://t.co/B06wFT2Fad— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Yes. I remember my doctoral research design final; my left-handed desk at the front of class was missing. Coed was using it as a footstool. https://t.co/BMjdqxqUlX— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
We lefties have a natural ice-breaker. I've had supermarket checkout clerks notice my signing the credit authorization. #LeftHandersDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
It is amazing how we sometimes find ourselves in a coincidental cluster of southpaws. In my last job, 4 out of 5 in the room #LeftHandersDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Yup. Going to a restaurant with others and automatically looking to be seated at one end of the table. https://t.co/XVWov8k5eZ— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Playing Little League baseball, we found ourselves limited to 5 positions: pitching, first base, and the outfield. #LeftHandersDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
Of my 21 nephews and nieces, I have two goddaughters. Yup, also lefties. #LeftHandersDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
In US Presidential politics, from 1974 to January this year, we had only two righties: Carter and Bush 43. #LeftHandersDay— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 13, 2017
The IL Senate voted to override Gov. Rauner's veto of corrupt Chicago School bailout provisions. The IL House override will require GOP help— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
True American conservatives embrace open immigration and markets and individual rights, not this garbage. "Unite the Right"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
When I defend the rights of alt-righters to protest, it is in the sense of Voltaire: I disagree with what you say, but defend your rights.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
I've had a handful of alt-righters reply to my tweets (including anti-Semitic garbage). I don't do or say anything to encourage them.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017
Let's stop this racism bogeyman. This is not the 60's. More whites than blacks voted Obama President twice. #FireBannon— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) August 14, 2017

It's Left-Handers' Day. Celebrate the creative people in your life. My high school nickname was 'Einstein' (in part, my curly hair, my scholastic aptitude, and a fellow lefty). Two of my goddaughters are lefties. Other prominent lefties: Aristotle, Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Prince William, Napoleon, several US Presidents (Garfield, Hoover, Truman, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, Obama). Not to mention nominees like Dole and McCain. In the last election cycle, my favored candidate, Rand Paul.
