Once again, we're blaming individuals instead of Corporate America for pollution. Okay, yes, we each need to do our best, sure sure sure. I do go to the trouble of separating my trash and placing my recyclables in the corresponding bin. But until companies get it together and start thinking long-term, miss me with that shit.

Ukraine is Russia's Ireland. The depth of Ukrainian culture & history is impossible to displace. I see much partisan warfare in Russia's future. Lots of poisoned cherries in that basket. The Chechens were bought. Ukrainians? I don't think so.

Condemning this racist murderer in Buffalo changes absolutely nothing. Ban assault weapons and 20+ round magazines. Period.

Police and politicians deserve NO civil protections whatsoever! They choose to be responsible, they must pay a high civil price when they facilitate crime or violate their oaths. PERIOD.

But yet between New York and Texas there are still mass shootings…not sure what you’re trying to propose is actually the answer to the problem.

"American officials are outraged after 'space debris' from a Russian laser endangered astronauts." ...was the sentence that made me realize that we're living in a James Bond novel.
