Noah's Ark was 2,023 square cubits. Coincidence? I think not.

Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now

Brother, you need to back away from the news cycle. We just came off a D President and house. The mid-terms were not the landslide predicted and IMO: There's a pretty decent balance in the house even with both our side's noise makers (3 independents can make things go either way). To clarify, I meant strategic plan for the country; not the party.

I don't see it as too much.

Least worst. smh sometimes.

I know, right: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/more-than-1-million-voters-switch-to-gop-raising-alarm-for-democrats

But, being the real cool document that it is - allowed for changes aka amendments to be made. How's that for strategic sightedness.

I neither said, nor implied I wouldn't vote for either team. I always vote. What I said was, "If Trump is on the ticket' I will change to the Independent Party. I used to be a "mostly" straight party voter, but not since the 90's. I now vote for whom I think will do the best job AND reach across party lines.

No, Joe. I cannot. "I don't know how to define it; but I know it when I see it." Just out of curiosity - Constitution and inherent flaws?

1776

"So what." That's the sound of mediocrity followed by a string of varying snippets from the forewords of Covey books.

I've already made my position clear if Trump is on the ticket. P.S. One can vote Democrat even if there's a (R) after their name. I've done it. As of now; I couldn't do Democrat either. Neither party has a strategic plan for the U.S.

IMO: The Vietnam War was the catalyst. It didn't really get defined until Reagan. We came out of the war to a resigning President, followed by a non-elected President, then Carter stepped into a crumbling economy that worsened under his presidency. Reagan was elected and solidified the positions of cutting taxes, increased military spending, cutting many social programs, corporate leaders loving a path that would rid them of unions (ATC Strike) and converting the "three-legged stool" into a single strategy "under God."

Morning, Jerry. This cracked me up. Can't tell you how many times I've told friends, "I'm raising a little Democrat. Not that there's anything wrong with that." Especially when it comes to guns. Keith

Tablets. Allow me to expand. Gen Z is the first generation to have the world in their hands. Gen Z doesn't need to be taught; they know how to learn. Curriculum - of course, but the instructional methodology needs to be adjusted to adaptive learning. They need to be challenged on subjects. One of them says something and to their devices they go. And, they saturate themselves on the subject in a short period of time. As far as social rules. They have it wrapped up by the age of ten. The little one knew racism was bad. Her friends know racism is bad. They know about gender identification. My little one knows more about chromosomes than most 40 year old men. They accept others for their differences. More than any other generation. There was a time when previous generations made fun of the physically or mentally challenged. Not this generation. It is inspiring to see a physically or mentally challenged kid pull up in a car. They don't stand there and watch, They don't jeer. They go over and help. One of them grabs the books, the other grabs their lunch, another the wheelchair and they talk with the child - all the way to class. If they are well-versed in racism, gender identification, etc. they really don't need some adult less versed in the subject telling them what they need to know. They get it. They get it more than any other generation. Preaching to them ad nauseum about gender identification is about as effective as an undergraduate trying to show Kallend how smart they are in physics. They get it. They get it more than any other generation.

My earlier point was - discussed too much by those who already know. They get it. They're tired of being preached at. At what point does it become aversion. You need to drink water.

Thanks for understanding my point. The kids are getting tired of it. They get it. They embrace it more than any other generation.

Truthfully, I don't know. I haven't probed down to that level.

Correct. She has Advanced Chem this year [Edit: as in this fall]. Physics is in her 11th year.

She's not taking physics yet. Every class begins with the cordial discussion and some how it winds up being a starting discussion.

Yeah, Joe. I backed off the blanket statement. Don't mind a class at all. It would be nice if parents did it, but they don't. We've had several conversations about it. She's at "that age," so I'd rather discuss it and keep the channels of communication open, so when she does make a mistake (and she will), we can help her with it.

Truth. Thank you. My club was PGR before there was a PGR. In fact, two of our members broke off and formed the PGR. Been a part of it since the beginning.

I'm not tracking. Where they are or who they are? Cause who they are and politeness is defined in a sacred document, "the pursuit of happiness." Who they are . . . as in race, creed, color, sex, etc. was defined in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And yet, here we are, and where we are, some sixty years later - is having the conversation again. Leave people the fuck alone. Mind your own business. That's all people got to remember.
