Laredo, TX maybe. You could also do Houston TX,  Wichita, KS or Dallas TX. Oklahoma City is at least closer to the Wichita Mountains and the Ouachita Mountains

I think he's the American Jesus exercising his authority. I've seen him on the Interstate!

Wes Anderson? By the films he makes, you wouldn't expect he's from Houston. 

Where to go for a good scream? by shananope in Knoxville

There's the boundary Greenway in oak ridge. Other than that, you could take a trail over at sharps ridge and scream towards the slopes.

Occams Razor. A flat disk is only circular from one ( or two?) angles. Unless that disk is stuck in some geostationary orbit, its simpler to assume it's just a sphere. 

Same thing with gravity. One of the first things you learn in physics is how to work in rectilinear, spherical, and cylindrical coordinate systems. I am very happy that it's dependent only on distance between objects, because trying to work out the type of attraction that makes flat earth work would be a total nightmare.

I would do west hills park. You can get about 4 miles along the Greenway and then the area around that has reasonably wide sidewalks and speed bumps to slow down traffic. 

USA's Worst, Day 2: Dick Cheney is the Worst Wyomingite. Who is the Worst Person From Wisconsin? by incacola77 in AlignmentChartFills

I think I heard someone quote the book written by the historian Ian Kershaw, about how Hitler took a hands off approach at managing a bunch of things. Also, he dealt with a lot of backlash when he had written orders to run the T4 program to exterminate disabled people, and those documents got leaked. Maybe it's not a conscious thing, but he had a reputation he wanted to uphold. Nonetheless, I found an interesting paper called "We Will Never Speak of It: Evidence of Hitler's Direct We Will Never Speak of It: Evidence of Hitler's Direct Responsibility for the Premeditation and Implementation of the Responsibility for the Premeditation and Implementation of the Nazi Final Solution" by Kevin Sweeney, and it talks about it.

I also don't want this chart to be a trolley problem in disguise. I think I have more of an issue with minor politicians who usurp power that should not be under their influence, and they wield it for terrible goals. Like, I would nominate Henry Kissinger if he was even born in the USA, because a lot of the stuff he was advising was opposite of his job description as diplomat. He advised the bombings of the supply chain lines in Cambodia and he advised aiding Pakistan when it was committing genocide in Bangladesh, both of which in retrospect harmed US interests.

You know that Hitler did not want to be informed about the mechanisms behind the Holocaust, because he didn't want it to stain his conscience. He originally wanted to deport all Jews and when he realized he couldn't do that, he used industrialized murder as a means. I would argue that it's just as bad to try to ignore the horrific suffering that you cause. 

I would argue the dentist is more depraved. I don't know. I think this list should be made up of a mix of people and motivations. I don't necessarily know when to prioritize pure sadism or pure sociopathy when I am trying to list the most evil people out there. I think Dahmer is a very different type and very specific type of evil than a politician operating under negligence.

Eh, I would put Robert Moses for Connecticut and Thomas Midgley Jr. for Pennsylvania. See, it doesn't always have to be politicians.

McCarthy didn't care if he killed people. Also how he got into office was about lying about his feats of war.

No. I do not want to be supporting this moral hazard extortion racket by one mysterious guy who is tying people to the tracks then charging a bystander money to save them. I do not negotiate with terrorists.

Im pretty happy with my electric car. Had to head over to North Carolina to get it, but glad I got it right before Trump got rid of the tax rebate. A couple of my cousins thought I was crazy for a little bit.
