Sexual Misconduct in Politics
EDIT: I've updated the thread title to better reflect where the discussion has gone. Wasn't sure where this discussion really belonged and after posting in another thread I decided maybe it warranted its own. So...here it is. This is the latest statement from Al Franken. I've always liked him, since long before he became a…

Trump dismantling our National Monuments
This thread is for concerns for our National Monuments. I believe this issue warrants a separate thread. Do you ever get so angry over an issue that you find it hard even to type? That's how I feel as of this writing. Trump is making strong efforts to reduce or outright eliminate some of our National Parks and Monuments.…

Time Inc. Sells Itself to Meredith Corp., Backed by Koch Brothers

So, What Comes Now?
I'm sure I'm not the only one scratching my head trying to think how I estimated the voting sum of those possessing great deals of socioeconomic and political dissent hellbent on not tolerating Clinton (even if it meant Trump), those in admiration of xenophobic, racist, sexist ideals not-so-subtly alluded to by Donald…

Don't force your children to hug relatives over the holidays?
Personally, I think this is going way too far, but curious to hear what others think. As one person commented on the article, they weren't raised to show physical affection amongst relatives, and they now have no memories of hugging their grandparents. I think the issue is more about teaching children the difference…

Guns
I just watched a louis theroux programme about gun crime. It was based in Milwaukee? Not sure of spelling. Dear god (not that i believe in god)but so many deaths and mutilations because everyone has a gun. There was a woman who took different guns with her accordingly to where she was in her house. Had one even in the…

Light Pollution and the LED Affect
I found this article interesting. It seems the switch to LED may not be as substantial with reducing light pollution as we thought mostly because the cost savings are pushing higher implementation. Maybe we need regulations around the amount of lighting allowed or soon no one will know what true darkness is. An excerpt and…

Bowe Bergdahl
Obama negotiated with terrorists! Illegally bypassed Congress! Traded 5 Taliban commanders for a US traitor who cost the lives of 6 US soldiers who went looking for him!

Trump's rally in Chicago stopped due to protests
The left wingers prove yet again that they can't control themselves and resort to violence in order to bring about change. Now, let the immature personal attacks rain down on me! (And watch this discussion get closed because I mentioned the Presidential Candidate who's name isn't allowed in AMT)
