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...

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...
