Sounds like decades of a failed First-Past-The-Post system the keeps giving majorities to parties that can't close to 50% of the popular vote. We've known for a century that such a voting system isn't fair. A simple option is ranked ballot, were you rank that candidates, and if no one gets over 50% the least favourite is dropped, and the vote is re-counted.
We don't live in a Democracy, we live in something that is less than a Democracy.

It's not about the rich. No one cares, except for a small handful of people. The vast majority of people want to fly away on vacation, own a large home, have a crappy grass lawn, eat meat everyday. They see environmentalism as some sort of odd lifestyle. If you make a law that says they can't use gas lawn mowers, they'll scream and go bat shit insane, call you the devil. They are relentless in wanting to pave over anything living.

If he could strike a deal with the courts, that he doesn't get prosecuted for any of this crimes... he would happily lose. More money in playing the victim.

Thou shall not kill, yet Oklahoma has a death penalty. Don't work on the Sabbath, yet everything is open on Sunday.

The irony of not being able to spiral downward, when spiraling downward.

Promote Frisbee golf? That way you don't need to cut grasses.

And jobs are so stable, and give great benefits.

40 years of a recession will do that to a society. An entire generation fucked.

Just wait to the shit show of the the the August 19th Democratic Convention in Chicago. Pro Israeli and Pro Palestinian groups will be marching. An alphabet soup of causes will also be on the march. It will only add the confusion surrounding the Democratic's policies, and turn people off voting.

I don't like the Republican policy, but it is semi-coherent; isolation, xenophobia, anti-immigration, no abortions in red states, burn down the entire economy if it doesn't work for rural areas. The Democrats don't have a coherent policy; immigration yes but also no. Peace in Palestine, but also send weapons to Israel. Stop Russia at all costs, but send as little money and only expired weapons. This is the greatest economy of all time ever, even if you don't feel it and can't afford a house. Crime is down, too bad you don't feel safe.

 

Looking for someone that has a hobbyist website that posts to it guitar lessons.

I'm trying to stay away from Youtube, as it is too hard to sort through so many videos, and many of them are just ads for courses.

Love old website and blogs, from the before social media times.
