I thought Bob Enyart died years ago.

Look at the level of intelligence and awareness being displayed, here. No, I don't think most people have a clue about what is driving the "news" they're getting. And it's working exceptionally well.

I don't. I don't think most people have any idea that the news they are being given, and how it's being presented to them, is designed specifically to keep them watching/listening/reading the advertisements. That it is NOT intended to enlighten them about the events of the day, but to entice...

Reason is now out the window. And there will be an endless string of these kinds of unreasonable and indefensible decisions. I don't think adding more judges is the solution. I think the court has to be disbanded for it's being incapable of fulfilling it's responsibilities to the poeple in it's...

How could you NOT have him on ignore?

We've needed them to 'step up' for the last 40 years. Instead, they take the bribe money from the corporations, do as they're instructed, and then sit on their hands while the republicans push everything further and further toward corporatized religious fascism. They aren't going to step up...

Wow, not a single comment!

They would have exactly the same say as anyone else. And to what "matter" are you referring? In a national election everyone would have the same say. State lines are irrelevant. In a state election everyone in the state would have the same say. In a local election everyone in the locality would...

For many decades in the U.S. it has been a common practice for corporations, corporate conglomerates, and wealthy individuals to pool their considerable resources and use that wealth to bribe state and federal legislators, and anyone else in government of whom they desire special consideration...

So that every citizen's vote would have an equal say in who gets elected.

So your theory is that if perfection is not possible, progress is not worth pursuing?

Or, they could begin to acknowledge that they are living in and participating in a social and economic system that favors the rich and greedy, while it exploits the poor downtrodden. A system that rewards us for turning our heads and blaming the the victims so that we can pretend it won;t happen...

And too many cops ARE "evil racists who need to be put down by force for their pride and racism." So now what? Oh, let's give 'em a raise! How about the start weeding out the evil racists, instead? How about we start training cops to be public servants instead of law enforcers? How about...

Wow, and no mention at all of ending gerrymandering. Or of eliminating the electoral college. Or of stopping PAC advertising and probaganda. Or of increasing the accuracy and oversight of voter registration logs. Instead, it's all about punishing the voters by demanding that THEY prove their...

The mystery of our own existence. Yes. But only of the mechanisms of existence. Not of the raison d'etre. In that, we are all equally mystified; whether we have the wisdom and courage to admit it or not.

Regardless, all we have is our ability to understand, limited though it is. And it is with that limited understanding that we choose to move through the world. (Or choose not to in the case of atheists.)

Because for we humans, "God" is an ideal. A conceptual paradigm we use to help us understand and evaluate the complexity of our everyday existence.

Wisdom can be found in the God ideal. But so can a lot of crazy.

Amen, sister!

"I could be wrong, but not about anything that matters." 😳 I think willingness has a lot to do with it. The willingness to recognize that we are prone to such myopic presumptions about reality that aren't accurate.
