Your current balance between concern over current events, and taking care of your own life stuff?
How well balanced are you in your day-to-day life between concern for current events (which includes politics, international issues, social issues, economics, and environment/weather/fire, etc.), and keeping your life on track, working to have a good life, etc.? Because the question is of a personal nature, the poll is…

Obama: Women "indisputably" better at leading
https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/16/politics/barack-obama-women-are-better-than-men/index.html I can't say I disagree with him. Although, is there really enough of a pool to draw from to come to such a conclusion? not to mention; Imagine Kellyanne as POTUS, for instance. Not all women are progressive. I found another comment…

Do you have 2020 vision?
Corny and trite as it may sound, I think we need to have vision for the coming year, 2020. It's the perfect number analogy for this coming year, a time when we need to return to good to great leadership, renewed efforts to stem global warming, more peace/ less war, more social, economic and environmental justice, healthier…

Tulsi Gabbard for President
https://abcnews.go.com/beta-story-container/Politics/hawaii-rep-tulsi-gabbard-running-president-2020/story?id=60323392 I admit that, until a few months ago, I had no idea who Gabbard was. I saw her on MTP or something similar and she is impressive.

The Concept of God
a discussion evolved out of the Manchester bombing thread. Figured we should start one on its own, and hopefully it doesn't suffer the same fate as previous discussions on this topic.

Unhappy with the state of the world? What are we doing about it?
With the myriad tragic events going on in the news it's natural to want to talk about things and even a little useful to read up on what's going on, enter into discussion, vent, ponder and maybe even pontificate a bit if that helps. But talking is just the beginning. Doing, taking action, being proactive- that's what makes…

There are hidden chemicals in our clothing.
When possible, I like to purchase used clothing. Here in the U.S., every thrift store is full of clothing. But one thing I like to wear and haven't been able to find is corduroy shirts. So I happened to notice today a new blue corduroy Calvin Klein shirt in a store that was marked down 60%. Marvelous! Only then I got to…

Sebastian Gorka banned from Youtube but is back!
This guy is classic Trump trash. He was kicked off Youtube a few weeks ago but looks like he just created a new channel. I am not going to tell anyone what to do but wouldn't it be fun to get this channel removed sooner than later? https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClE7DDaoR-HER5_MLXG5K4w

Extinction Rebellion
Everything I've read about this activist group so far looks promising. The principles of XR make sense to me. I particularly like this approach to change: * "We have a shared vision of change—creating a world that is fit for generations to come. * We set our mission on what is necessary—mobilising 3.5% of the population to…

Horse Racing
I went to the races for the first time in my life today. I was curious. I have to admit it was fun and exciting but something just did not feel right about it (and that should have been obvious, no doubt). When I got home, I did a little research and what I found was this very disturbing video. I will be writing a check to…

Bear hunting season in BC. All the psychos are getting their high powered rifles so they can go shoot some bears.
