Social Media, The Good, Bad & Ugly & The Future
Some recent posts and comments regarding social media and regulation prompted me to start a thread with the following essay. I hadn't heard of the two women referenced but remember the parking lot incident. Its a challenging issue and one worthy of debate. And yes, please get your kids' pictures off of the web. From…

JD Vance
Besides being our current vice president, JD Vance is a very interesting man, with a very inspiring story to tell. JD (James David) Vance was born in Ohio, and he certainly did not come from a privileged background. In fact, he grew up in an impoverished and broken family, and he and his sister were raised primarily by…

The rise of China
Saw a report on TV the other night about how China are putting Pacific Island nations like Vanuatu in debt and then building ports there (loan shark tactics). As part of the deal they are also building towers without employing poor locals. Now, this has me worried, they're pretty much setting themselves up to have military…

Your personal experiences with changes in international relations in today's world.
In recent years, international relations on a political and economic level and been turned topsy turvey- unjustifiable wars, unwarranted tariffs, war crimes against other countries, etc. We've talked about all that elsewhere.

Abortion-Keep Legal, Yes or No?
I figured since it’s currently a hot topic in the gun thread, I’d start an abortion topic thread. I’ll begin by responding to benjs’ last post in the gun thread: who says a woman is obligated to carry until term? Why shouldn’t that be her decision and hers alone?

Opioid Addiction in the US, Heroin and Oxys
Here on Long Island the new buzz word is "Opioid Addiction". I've watched this problem grow worse and worse since 1999. In 1999 I was working in Virginia at a place called Pennington Gap and most of the teens and young adults all did pills. They preferred pharmaceuticals than to real drugs. Oxycontin pills were later…
