Just as the ignorant, mostly racist, certainly misogynist, founding father's wanted. The one thing, and I think perhaps the only thing, that the founding fathers got right was the ability to change the constitution, which we had been doing and making some good progress as far as the advancement of human and civil rights was concerned (though we still had a long way to go). But with this latest decision from the supreme court [sic], …

So the GOP insists that Biden is weak and wants more severe measures taken against Russia but don't want to send troops! But they make no suggestions about what should be done beyond the sanctions already deployed. Biden agrees with them and has sworn not to send troops. So what, pray tell, do they want? I think they just really want Biden to throw a full on hissy fit! That'll show Putin who's boss.

In a discussion the other day with a friend of mine with whom I often disagree on political matters, they expressed the following: "I am center-right, and I think that most people are center-left or center right.

Thus was born the unrepresentative legislative body called the Senate, where each state gets 2 representatives regardless. I almost get the logic of that… not really… but I can understand the fear. But all this solution to that problem does is set up tyranny of the minority over the …

I was hoping that Donald Trump would be the last president. By that I do not mean that I wanted him to serve in perpetuity, but rather that he served as proof that having a president at all is a detriment to democracy. I have long argued that we should end the office of the president. This is because I always felt that as soon as any one person in a society has more power …

If there is only one absolute truth in the universe it is this: We didn't ask to be born. Stated in another way, we could say that nothing that has ever existed has ever chosen to exist in the first place. This should be self-evident. Even a supposed eternal god was denied this choice as that god always existed thus never had the chance to make the choice to exist. So what, you ask? This …
