...and hope every one has a happy, rational and evidenced based 2017
I'm not sure about that. As we well know, there's no evidence that hoping can change things. Furthermore, some can only be happy if they're irrational and anti-evidence. For that reason, I wish everyone on SN a very happy new year, may some remain delusional or real- I don't care. Whatever makes people happy, as long as what makes them happy doesn't harm themselves and others.
Happy NY 2017, everyone!
Postscript: There is ample evidence that anti-evidence people have harmed others; physically as well as mentally. We do know that.
As long as everyone's happy without any destruction, that's all that matters.
(and a free bump to get this to the top of the board above the profusion of thoroughly tasteless "dead pool 2017" threads that are currently plaguing it)
