Questions


Questions

Some observations.

How is it that the outrage over Israel with people in the streets was invisible until Israel was attacked?

Our energy status, our financial status, the global warfare, the nuclear threat, our border and illegal immigrant status, the age of our 'leaders'--all of these elements are threatening to the country, our livelihood, our very safety. Yet in the recent election, the vote was heavily in favor of the status quo. How is that possible?

The Ohio abortion vote reiterated the not-needed-to-be-proven notion that single-issue voters will override everything, regardless of consequence.

The abortion issue may make the Republican Party permanently irrelevant.

The shrinking population in Western Pennsylvania has yet to stimulate real conceptual change in the area's politics. The winner in the County Executive vote was a socialist and former barista. This may reward conservatives cynical about the effectiveness of government but there is another side to government: the ability to do harm. See national energy policy.

The 'systemic racism' slur that appears commonly in U.S. discussions and in Critical Theory has always seemed unserious and unsubstantiated. Sociologic and psychological theories are famously soft and difficult to prove and defend. But is this outbreak of antisemitism meaningful?

Why is Chris Christy not more popular?

What is it in us that allows us to look at serious problems that demand intervention and blindly turn away? When will the national debt become important to 'leaders' and citizens?

When did the idea of more gentle warfare emerge?
