The whole point of having elected representatives is so that someone will speak up for us, so that insatiable appetites of capital aren't the only voices being heard in government. When will we have leaders and agencies that care about things like this again? www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1pX...

Right vs Left isn't as dangerous as "We must let people live the way they want to" vs "We must make people live the way we want them to." And too many people who start in the first camp switch, the minute they discover some group they disapprove of.

This was the world reacting to a slain leader and a morning nation. This is what Trump wants to demolish if he can't slap his name on it.

Those who are not unstable and insane are aggressively stupid. The ones who are neither insane nor stupid are viciously, deliberately cruel. That's our national government.

"Take as much money and provide as little service as you possibly can" is a bad model for things like healthcare, education, and public safety.

The only point of money is the good it can do and the things it can buy. If you have hoarded so much of it that most of it will never be used to do anyone any good or buy anyone anything they need for the next 100 years, what on earth is the point of it?

Theodore Roosevelt once said republics rise, flourish, and fall because their citizens turn the government into a tool primarily to benefit one class instead of benefiting the people as a whole, and I think about what he said quite a lot.

It's a major failure of the national imagination that when confronted with the idea of a president who is equal parts venal, ignorant, and insane, it never occurred to us that many people's response would be to shrug.

It shouldn't be that hard to build a society in which people are left alone to live their lives as they choose, as long as they don't infringe on other people's right to live their lives as they choose.

If you have more money than you could ever use in your lifetime, but insist of grabbing more, you're a greedy bastard. If you have more money than your family could ever use, unto 10 generations, but you insist if grabbing more, you're a sociopath.

The shame of this age is our willingness to let Ukraine bleed and bleed and bleed, when we could have stood firmly and unequivocally with them, united with other countries, to force Russia to retreat.

Government doesn't have to be divisive, corrupt, oppressive, and self-seving. Focus on the people modeling genuine public service and love of community. They're out there. We'll only deserve more of them if we demand (and elect) more of them.

We are the lotus-eaters. We have sailed far from the home. We have drifted at sea and neglected to tell the old stories of home to our children. We indulge in pleasures and we forget. And forgetting, we drift further and further back into the dark ages our ancestors fought so hard to emerge from.

What if we elected smart, competent people to high office, to maximize good and minimize harm to the greatest extent possible for the greatest number of people? I'm just saying--we've tried putting hateful, ignorant assholes in charge; let's try something different next time.

Should an American be required to show that they can read and comprehend the founding documents of our country, in their original texts, in order to graduate from high school and participate in civic life as adults? If so, what percentage of our 18-year-olds do you think would pass that test today?
