For some reason, I've turned myself inside out and all my guts have spilled onto my blog. Truth and vulnerability or the currency of content. NM in chess.
- I do not understand. Iβm a parent of military age kids. Does any parent really want to give their kids guns and then send them 5000 miles away to kill other kids with guns while all the world leaders watch it on TV?
- The @OxfordUnion just asked me to debate / speak there. Was the most prestigious debate society in the world. I'm saying "no". A debate society should be run by people who want to further understanding and peace by discourse. Not people who are hateful and celebrate death.
- I'm trying to understand something: The Constitution says that you have to be a "citizen of the United States" to vote . It says this in the 14th, 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments What is the argument that you shouldn't have to prove that when you vote? What am I missing?
- I'm hesitant to post this because I don't really like any aspect of the political system. But here is what I heard last night at the Must/Trump conversation and I'm curious what part of this people disagree with:
- Replying to @jaltucherI ask these questions in all sincerity, seeking answers, and without bias. I really want to know. People say this was a "rambling" interview but it seems like this is what I heard. Did I hear incorrectly?
- Replying to @jaltucherSo: Am I missing something? And what part of this doesn't seem like common sense? And the important question: who is better at dealing with these issues (if they are issues): Trump or Harris. Why does Harris not have policies on her website?
- Replying to @jaltucherD) Cut Dept of Education because US is consistently getting lower on education vs the world and yet spending more per student.
- Replying to @jaltucherB) Have an energy policy that doesn't depend on our enemies for fossil fuels while we continue to explore and innovate on solar/nuclear
- Replying to @jaltucherA) do more vetting at the border (as in legal immigration) to prevent criminals coming in.
- Replying to @jaltucherC) The biggest threat to not only America but the world is nuclear weapons in the hands of bad nations.
- Replying to @jaltucherE) Have a more efficient government in terms of spending. Everyone says this but nobody does anything about it. Is there a way to do something about it?
- Replying to @jaltucherF) Inflation is the result of an increased money supply due to higher government (and inefficient govt spending). If money supply increases faster than our goods and services than inflation results.
- Replying to @jaltucherG) A "strong" president deters bad foreign actors. Examples can be seen (this is my own comments on this) JFK (Bay of Pigs / Cuban Missile Crisis), Carter (Iran hostages), Bush (9/11, etc), and Trump implies Biden (Ukraine, Iran).
