Videos like the sandwich one, show one person standing up, while dozens (maybe more) watch and record. Folks, the days of gawking and recording are over. Back up that brave person (I'm not talking about violence), with a show of numbers. If 30 or 40 people came up behind him, things could change.

I still 'Damn' myself for things (beliefs, actions etc) that I did when I was young. It's hard to understand what my younger self didn't see, that my older self now plainly sees. That is maturing, and unfortunately, some never achieve it. Be thankful that you did, and proceed accordingly.

In the mid 2000's, Bush admin assigned 100's of FBI agents to Nat sec. duties. Agents that should have been looking for 'white collar' crime, were re-assigned.

He said "If it works out in D.C." If WHAT works out? By who's measure? If crime drops (which apparently already has), they will say it "worked". If crime increases (who is tallying such statistics?), well.. game, set, match. He's arguing a non-valid (zero sum) position. Check mate!

My understanding is, that republicans believe there are more republicans in Texas, so they need to redistrict to reflect this supposed population ideology. If the population ideology is so overwhelming, why would you need to redistrict?

Another great discussion. My intuition also noticed John's notion that the powers that be, got what they wanted, and could brush him off at their earliest convenience. The question is; will there be a cost in the future?

When I was young, what we now call "fast food" was called "junk food". I suppose the industry changed that.

They feel "betrayed". Which means that instead of withholding judgement, until established facts would present the truth, they abjectly dove head first into something they desired. They sought notoriety, with zero concern for those victimized by such a tragedy.
