The Greatest Scythe of Americans; Trump or Hitler?

 The Second World War with Adolph Hitler’s leadership scythed the lives of about a quarter of a million Americans over four years. That rate of death of U.S. soldiers at war was somewhat over 60-70 thousand per year. In just one year under President Trump’s leadership the Covid 19 death toll of Americans has nearly equaled that of the entirety of the Second World War.

 President Trump’s leadership during the Covid 19 era was lackadaisical; he seemed entirely incapable of walking and chewing gum at the same time with a skill that could have reduced the infection rate and kept the economy open together. Therefore he may not be a mass murderer as great as Hitler, simply a Chamberlain sort of enabler of the encroachment of evil. Antifah as Covid era riot leaders helped the spread of Covid as did the Black Lives Matter movement. 

The President made much noise concerning the riots yet did not act decisively as would have Abraham Lincoln to close the riots down declaring martial laws and sending in the 101st Airborne. (as did L.B.J. and Ike use the 101st to quell scoflaws. When riots and looting occurred over night in Philadelphia and Wal-Mart was being sacked the looters were not maintaining safe social distancing requisite to control the spread. Presently about 80,000 Americans are infected each day and the death rate is somewhere around 1 or 2%.

 

Resident Trump’s desire to plunder the natural resources of the nation is greater than his will to stop the Covid 19 scythe- the former requires nothing intellectually challenging to accomplish and enriches select global financial interests. Christians might wish to consider too much support for the leader managing the virus that may take more than 300,000 American lives when a more intelligent policy might have held the total to 50,000 or fewer. The Italian Dictator Mussolini might have found a few thousand avoidable deaths nothing more than a bump in the road on his race to power and prosperity. In some respects President Trump has shown a similar callousness concerning Covid 19 deaths in his half-hearted leadership.

 The election next week is a Hobson’s choice between the Democrat’s leader with dubious financial conflicts of interest with Ukraine that stimulated the rise of renewed cold war with Russia, commercial advantage with China and lawlessness in Mexico, a Democrat Party with an agenda of immoral policies, and an arrogant billionaire with a belief he can make America great- perhaps by raising the greatest (Muhammad Ali) from the dead, cutting taxes on the rich, gutting the ecosystem for short-term proplits. The President’s draft and tax evasion, marginally legal, and problems with women equal to that of Bill Clinton if not greater, were somewhat eclipsed by the four years of false narrative by Democrats concerning his secret support from Russia that did not at any rate seem greater than the Clinton’s foundational relationships with Russian oligarchs.

 If Vice President Biden wins the election and serves four years before very likely retiring and not seeking re-election and Republicans keep control of the Senate that may be the best-case scenario for muddling through the next four years. The 2024 election would then be the main pivot to determine the nation’s future status concerning secure borders, international relations, health care for all Americans including those too poor to afford Medicare Part B in old age and conservation of the integrity of the government of the United States.

Invasive Terrorism of the Corporate Rich

 Civil rights in the United States are in decline. The rich of Yale affiliation and other elite institutions are part of the cause of that. Rich corporations and media lackeys serving them transgress civil rights boundaries whenever they can through innumerable high tech means including Big Data/mining trampling over the 1st and 4th amendments as if they were valid only for-themselves.

 In my opinion organized civil rights violations by the rich comprise terrorism or at least sedition. Civil rights in the United States are fundamentally properties of boundaries for individuals that secure the individuals’ right to go about his or her life without interference, hindrance or sabotage economically and personally. In a nation based on self-help free enterprise the freedom to act in the market without one’s equal rights being subverted is essential if individuals are to have any sort of humane life style.

 Anyone can violate civil rights of course, it is just that the rich have an easier time of it organizing themselves to exploit their fellow citizens to gain that felony edge- the advantage over others that is too sweet for the corrupt to resist. They may even develop an economic philosophy that disingenuously claims what they are doing is necessary in order for capitalism to survive and that resistance is leftist and socialist.

 There are millions of Americans that have no regard for civil rights nor understanding of what those are. They are happy living in ad hoc collective social behavior milieus. For them civil rights may mean race rights or special  class rights of empowerment yet nothing like what they are; boundaries delimiting social behavior for every citizen and resident that stop anyone from victimizing them, including the state, with the exception of criminals.

 In the context of temporal life civil rights are easily violated and the violations travel down the stream of history forgotten or unnoticed to commonly, by the people of the day caught up in their own concerns. It is important though to secure civil rights boundaries against gross violation by the rich and privileged that can use information to exploit Americans and make life more difficult for them, because they can.

My late father was a four year vet of the Second World War. I was on active duty in combat arms when the Soviets withdrew a quarter million soldiers from East Germany. That was a Velvet era revolution and there isn't anything wrong with peace and prosperity. Participation in a free market should be supported for all Americans including veterans. The principles of free speech and free business participation a prosperous green free market with regulations shaping development toward green peace should never be impinged. No one should be excluded from the participating in the free market because a load of wise-guys with wealth amuse themselves poisoning the well.

 Millionaires and billionaires often want to tilt the economic field to their advantage. They can become like a black hole warping space time so all economic profit and political power flows their way. Exploiting information is one of the methods they can use. Information is power. It can be censored, data-mined or marginalized with equal opportunity to repress civil rights to go about one’s economic affairs without interference by the rich corporate world. When one has achieved wealth- millions or billions, one should watch one’s mouth and violations of the civil rights of the poor and middle class that aren’t cinched and actually need to improve or at least sustain basic economic vital interests. There may be sports millionaires that are barely literate of course, yet they are an exception and are showpieces to provide cover for the more calculating rich. Entertainment rich comprise just 5% of the top 1% of income earners in the United States, and they can be swells for-themselves working against the interests of the 99% promoting a wealth of unedifying trash.

Dendrites’ Cluttered in the Eco-brain (poem)

Top-down places are nodes
complex constructions strung together
clutters to cancel culture
first would be last
the last first following
each  clever, historical jumble
of lettered streets rumbling
boom boxed buildings
exhausted constraints
those straight and narrow lanes
fettered Heraclitan refrains
coursing unsustainable rivers of cars
passed each moment
beneath the stars
like that World War Two brawl
D-Day like today never called
tomorrow or yesterday’s impressionist compresence
changed around the edge
resembling degrees of difference 



new and old life temporized
so bold drivers pause
at the ledge of the past
waiting in idle mode, fast
connected interstate dendrites
oiled autos break an eco-brain’s gray matter
transitioning to necropsistic tunnel vision
encroaching evolution
painless shelf networks
synaptic Warholian dream dreams
sign the times in one place
a self-determined human race
designing undesigned
incomplete entropic chaos
pipes flow with creditopia
gas leaks in the dendrites
cluttered eco-brain decay
reflect beautiful sunrises and sets
burning the eco-brain green flames.

James Lovelock created the Gaia hypothesis that the ecosphere of the planet is semi-sentient at least so far as to comprise S/R (stimulus-response) loops. Could human society be the brain of the planet with cities acting like neurons and freeways and roads as dendrites and axons? If humanity is stupid and poisons the gray matter of the ecobrain killing off the ecosphere and running clutter through it, can intelligence be improved so the brain is smarter keeping the ecosphere healthy?

Some In Error Dismiss Religion as Illusion

 Some say that reality is an illusion. If that were so then illusion could be considered to be reality. Reality does seem to be a secondary quality or product of the conversion of energy into mass when particles of the 2-dimensional universe encounter the Higgs field, slow down from light speed and acquire a third dimension in that process. Subatomic particles acquire the extra-dimension and let energy exist as mass in this Universe.  Philosophy's task is to discover truth and wisdom rather than to destroy things. One may surpass illusions sometimes with better knowledge. It is popular these days because of the discovery of evolution to attack Christianity as if it were in contradiction, yet that isn't too wise, for the Bible as the eternal word of God and reality in that regard is contingent being. Evolution is just a way particles are ordered in the mass of this Universe and cosmology is not in some sort of plain contradiction to the idea that God created this Universe. The mind of God would contain any possible Multiverse structure that may or may not exist, and there is a wealth of philosophical, theological and scientific ideas that can be developed regarding the nature of God, the creator of any possible Universe etc. People just want to act pre-emptively, dismissively so they can be trendy and go about life without any necessary moral duties.

Norse Code of Desert Colors (a poem)

Particulate desert sand drifts
a synaesthetic society’s plastic sawhorses
infinite Warholian cans flit
that planetary filling cruller crowd
dissolving sandstone
washing out sculptured sheds
-Cervantes’ captive years
hating tragic bird-kills of windpower

Hot solar wind on lifeless souls
photovoltaic cell captures wearing thin
sheets of ad hoc leftist clan plans
desert rams without life formed
theoretical wealthevolutions
revolving doors of employees
libbing poverty with cold frost
terminator line for night and day

Medium dot orgs Norse code
dash dot and dash across empty space
places where life once was
living millions of species
shrouded out to death
masking silence of red hues, blue mournings

Buckets of dreams listing to a side
Schrodinger wave functions collapsing
steady state of mass confusion
bouncing over the rolling sea
of inevitability resigned to fate
fate subducted in destiny
compacting today and tomorrows
with rye senseless humor of experience
too few seemingly with faith in the Lord
empanel the day
provide for the winter of nights
constructing life in the sand.

Will Catholics Excommunicate the Pope?

 When the Pope expressed the opinion that homosexual civil unions are o.k. he did not avoid giving the appearance of acquiescence in support of sin. Homosexuality is plainly condemned in the Bible in quite strong language so the statement seems an expression of apostasy.  As a member of the Jesuit order he may have been using a little duplicity to accomplish some organizational goal of increasing membership in the secular world. The E.U. and the United States each have homosexual marriage or civil union already so he may have been trying to follow what he believes is the leading political line.

 The Catholic Church has something of an imperial history, or quasi-imperial in association with actual political royals, and a swinish society where people rely on imperial authority instead of civil law isn’t uncommon. That may be the developing trend around the world today actually. A fellow that had returned from Australia felt a certain pride in that Australians tended to just fight among themselves and didn’t use lawyers too much, unaware that Australia has a magisterial rather than an adversarial legal system. In societies with a royal, imperial history magisterial legal systems tend to exist still, and the Judge has a role closer to that of a rep of royalty listening to pleas of the commoners rather than as an impartial judge of the commoners. The Pope said he was not one to Judge on the issue of homo marriage in the year before the Obama administration made a full court press to get homo marriage the law of the land; he was just swinging along with the times and will of Wall Street.

 The Catholic Church for the first thousand years more or less was o.k. and brought a unity to savage pagan lands. Europe in Christendom was able to survive pagan and Muslim attacks from the east and south. Some people were actually saved for Christ yet as apostasy shows many professing to be Christian may actually be rather duplicitous about that. Papal infallibility was a reasonable claim when a standard doctrine was required amidst a wealth of heresy and schismatic hermeneutics. Keeping a standard doctrine amid mostly illiterate savages of Europe and the rest of the world wasn’t so easy; the pope was a kind of Supreme Court of Himself back in the day getting the last word on doctrinal disputes. Of course sometimes schisms did arise by powerful groups that could afford to split off and hence the Orthodox Church arose as later did the Church of England. A former Pope relinquished a Papal claim to infallability maybe a half century ago –sometime after they ended The Index (the last bit of the Inquisition) about 1960 something.

 There are numerous apostate Christian sects these days. Darwinism weakened the Church a lot; scientists and bad theologians advocating pre-tribulationism have taken theological thought away from the truth and moved it toward either atheist science or secularism entirely or end times apocalyptic movies and books. The Bible seems to indicate for many though that the apocalypse was in the first century from the crucifixion of the Lord for the next 40 years culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem with a million dead. Jesus Christ said all of the things he said concerning end times would occur before the end of that living generation and they did. Those were the most accurate prophecies by one individual in the Bible and most Christians throw out that idea altogether. What was to follow those end times was the establishment of the kingdom of God on Earth in the hearts and minds of believers for an unspecified period of time that continues to the present day even though some seem to be falling away or supporting false doctrine to a certain extent.

 The Protestant reformation of the 15th century showed that the Church structure needed a lot of change and reform to return to the gospel expressed in the Bible. It was not right for an amalgam of syncretistic or unbiblical correct practices to be associated with or to become Church doctrine. Independent, non-papal Church leadership developed. Salvation was thought to be between and individual soul and Jesus Christ directly without mediators in the clergy. The Pope’s recent apparent expression of support for homosexual relationships formalized in law could be regarded as a reason why direct relationships between believers and God through the Lord is a good idea; relying upon sinful, fallen mankind for salvation or official help with that or making doctrine from the Bible as if with divine authority just won’t work very well.

 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/pope-francis-faces-divided-reactions-after-backing-same-sex-civil-n1244243

Of course the Pope may have just been somewhat clumsy with his words and meant something instead like ‘civil law concerns civil authorities, I am just concerned with Godly and Biblical things myself’. If that were the case he might have simply commented on what the Bible says about homosexuality (homosexuals and drunkards won’t be going to heaven although they could change) and noted that civil laws are for civil authorities. That is he should have disambiguated his viewpoint as leader of the Catholic Church from sin and secular practices regarded as permissible in civil law. I believe he might have done so if he actually belied what the Apostle Paul wrote in the book of Romans and if he had no interest in trying to make his imperial, modestly in decline, religious imperial empire mirror the evolution of civil law in the west.

 People today have so many wrong ideas concerning philosophy and religion as well as inferences to be made from evolution concerning spiritual matters (as well as in interpreting the Bible) that Erasmus’ book title ‘In Praise of Folly’ seems appropriate for the era. It really is remarkable and the present Pope just seems to go along with that trend. Christians should probably move toward a priesthood of believers’ church structure as Luther seemed to wish. The trouble with that is the clergy want job security and don’t really want to step aside. In an era of near universal illiteracy t more rigid clergy was requisite for keeping the gospel message intact and universal. In an era of universal literacy that church structure is anachronistic and fails to make the faithful direct ministers participating in church themselves. There are numerous ways Christian worship services perhaps in smaller groups could be made more spiritual, egalitarian and yet remain with standard Biblically correct doctrine.

 Why so many people of so many religions and scientists to have wrong ideas concerning the Church of Jesus Christ is a little difficult to understand-just a little though. Most misunderstand why the economic structure of the Earth is causing mass species extinctions too. At least I understand why there are so many traffic accidents in crowded urban areas. One there is a lot of traffic and two- everyone is looking for an advantage to help themselves a little where they can to get ahead.

 Christianity need only be consistent with the Bible and the Lord to be Christianity. It shouldn’t at all be concerned with trying to get the approval of the worldly.

Pre-Tribulationist Pastors Aren’t Necessarily Good Political Theorists

 Pre-tribulationist pastors have a wrong eschatology that leads them toward an inherent pessimism concerning the fate of the world and of human destiny in the world. They have an incorrect interpretation of the Bible, and share that wrong interpretation with Muslims who got that from Mohammed the creator of Mohammadanism. Muslims and pre-trib Christian have a naïve and literalist understanding of the Revelation of John. Martin Luther said the book has a lot of straw in it, meaning that it wasn’t a simple recounting of the works of Jesus by a disciple or apostle. The book was written by a captive disciple who needed to guard his words carefully during a persecution by the Emperor Nero. The inverted numbers 666 referred to Nero for example, yet pre-tribbers miss that and the basic context of the tribulation occurring in the first century rather than sometime out in the future.

https://www.amazon.com/Navigating-Book-Revelation-Special-Important/dp/0984322035

 With the wrong belief that the world is soon to be destroyed by the war known as Armageddon important political issues like environmentalism and global warming seem of little consequence to pre-tribbers. Pre-trib political issues by pastors that simply aren’t political philosophers nor accurate theologians tend to support the concentration of wealth and destruction of the world ecosphere to natural resource predators and neither is a meaningful or good Christian value. Christian should tend to support egalitarianism economically and especially free health care for the poor. They should be concerned about the health of the environment for the people that need to live in it and are part of it and not help bring it to an end.


  U.S. politics should be about good ideas rather than cults of immoralists, wrong eschatologists, environmental predators and so on. The fundamental issues meaningful to all citizens are fairly easy to discern and they are perennial American values such as the pursuit of happiness, a good environment for everyone including wildlife, a healthy well-educated populace, national security and so forth. Political philosophy need adapt to the complexity of the modern world, political economy and demographics and should not be misunderstood as a battle between dysfunction 18th and 19th century economics of Adam Smith and Karl Marx that are a very shallow and obsolete way to view the world.

 The present national election of 2020 is a good example of what happens when candidates are selected not for the good ideas they have, but for the organizations or structures they rise in. Church pastors would better serve the public by innovating a priesthood of believers structure instead of profiting themselves and the comfortable and advocating for good ideas instead of siding with the least objectionable bottom feeders running for office. They should look for good ideas if they must enter the field of politics without much competence of understanding, and not promote simple the least hateable ideas presented. Creating new economic and ecclesiastical structural reforms requires much more than negativity and criticism of offensive political activity. One should not simple bunt every election the bad pitches of whoever is running for office.

Court Packing High B.T.U.Consumption Judges Is a Bad Idea

The Democrat party leadership has threatened to corrupt the U.S. Supreme Court by adding more members to it that will decide cases favorable for Democrats. It wasn’t a good idea when Franklin Roosevelt sought it and was slapped down by a friendly congress that knew better. Democrats since the Obama administration have taken to a policy of lunatic extremism to have their way using whatever force they can get away with, and that is malodorous when applied to the top guns of legal justice that is the U.S. Supreme Court. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

 The U.S. Supreme Court, in spite of the Chief Justice so heavily invested in Wall Street and the Obama appointees is still respectable enough. Nine justices are well able to make sound decisions. Adding another six judges would do nothing more than degrade the prestige of the Court, create a new layer of sinecured, high-paying personnel and staff, and make most decisions of the court partisan. The Court would become another divided entity like the Congress with votes along party lines the rule rather than the exception.

 A house divided, or a court divided, isn’t likely to stand.

Houses with inefficient heating and cooling drive up costs for everyone.

  In the future courts will hear more environmental economic issues and packed courts full of high-energy consumption judges are less likely that nine efficient judges to vote in favor cases concerning environmental economic progress.

 In warm climates prosperous people that use 70,000 B.T.U.’s or more for cooling most of the year need to earn more to pay high energy bills. They seek higher wages and pay packages and inflate costs for others in society including those that are energy efficient with low annual B.T.U. (British Thermal Unit) consumption. With high energy bills and inflated prices for goods, people on fixed incomes suffer, and those rationally seeking to lower human thermal emissions to the atmosphere cannot afford to install natural ground heating and cooling systems that use virtually no electricity except maybe a little solar energy for circulation. The hacienda owners with high energy consumption seek illegal alien workers to perform work at low cost and live cheaply buying used stuff while the enfeofed, comfortable class of energy consuming Americans with high incomes live comfortably affording inflated prices-they buy $5 Starbucks coffee with whip crème special frills instead of instant coffee from a Salvation Army thermos.

 An environmentally progressive court may appear one day to rectify environmental practices with economics suitable for democracy. A court that is packed with high energy consuming judges may take the world of unsustainably high personal energy consumption as normal and bias decisions to support their irresponsible lifestyles. Sometimes the composition of court personnel need be considered as much as issues like constructionism.

 Regard the N.F.L. changes at the quarterback position of recent years. Drop-back immobile pocket quarterbacks have fallen into disfavor though some remain around and successfully so. Hybrid runner-with-an-option to pass Q.B.s have entered the game, like Michael Vick and maybe Lamar Jackson. They are a running step ahead of good passing quarterbacks that are mobile who will run well if they need to yet prefer to pass or hand off the ball to runners. Seattle and K.C. have such Q.B.s presently in a John Elway mode of performance. One hasn’t occurred at the quarterback position is the appearance of the pure runner- a Marshawn Lynch sort of quarterback, who just runs or hands off the ball to two other runners in the backfield, with one or both of those halfback and fullback positions having Vick-Jackson runner-with-option to pass capable guys. Environmental economics progress benefits from mobile political leadership and honest Supreme Court Justices that understand the differences between pragmatic applied Earth adaptation and theoretical lazy faire business-as-usual interially high energy consuming sloponomic policies when they reach them for a verdict. It is possible to align a pure passer in a Victory passing wedge of course if the personnel support that sort of approach where wings of the wedge are offensive ends and wide-out receivers. If the wedge need move forward like a Roman infantry turtle for some reason that’s just the way it is. The court would need to decide if a pass was thrown prior to crossing the line of scrimmage. With the House choosing to flake up rules to advance legislation these days including that of court packing potentially, mobile adaptive quarterbacks and judges need to keep an eye on the goal line of environmentally sustainable economics with liberty, justice and egalitarian economics for all.

The Breakfast Scroll of Clod D’Gjap

 A discussion at breakfast concerning the lost scroll of Clod D’Gjap that was not finished resumed the investigation of the roll of the middle finger of fate in sentencing a god of the gaps to interstellar voids and dark spaces where science had yet to shed light and establish pagan-per-view. The last sc’roll establishing being and time for the moment was misplaced, or alternatively displaced leaving a state of inadequate instruction pour la scienzia (aka 4 the science) of semi-official business management of thought that users need. Therefore new coding for the creation of apps referred to as the god of the apps code was hastily advanced through particle accelerators sending scintillations cascading about. Scintillations in two dimensions were nothing more than energetic ideas wherefore encountering the Higgs Field and general relativity slow down to sub-light speed in three dimensions making curved three-dimensional waves with thermal heat radiating. These atomized apps of three dimensions with coerced fields tying complexities together present standardized forms.

 Heated breakfast scrolls that are honey sweet going down bring a semblance of bitterness to the condition of the apps determined to be self-determining while undeterministic for-themselves leaving a sense of jake-breaking flatulence persisting in memory.  Coffee is complimentary to the creation of newer meaning that would synergize; energize, the ensemble of everything with market value and greater understanding even though apps lacking authority in regard to the creation of anything not already existing in some form run on like clear water over angelic falls.

 Great apes of evolution send god to the feminine court of the gaps with the middle finger of scientific fate- the knowledge of which counts for wisdom in the food court of m’academia. Clod D’Gjap’s scroll documenting that evolution of secular takeover of scientific apps across the former terrain of nobles, clergy and sociological stalagtites of sundry forms is a necessary top-heavy log-rolling flip-flopping gradual adjustment in the basic advancing knowledge of the apps of the simulation to reality although reaching the erroneous working conclusion that thinking for themselves crowns themselves as the center of sentient universality with precocious prima facia mirth. Adjustments were required concerning their understanding of ancient code in relation to the new code they possessed especially in regard to logic inferences both necessary and strict; God is free-standing and not limited to gaps, apps or dark unborn Universes such as are commonly aborted a priori in simulations.

There was a post-script to the scroll apparently written in coffee- 

I don't know of many that prefer to 'wallow' in suffering. Suffering for a good cause may be an excuse, and then it may be known as courage or fortitude. Toynbee wrote about challenge and response to civilizations and noted that those without challenges tend to be the least productive and too much of a challenge created an arrested civilization that can't develop. Hence stimulus and response loops (S/R) are meaningful and make changes that build a history of patterns of response (character), yet one doesn't want to go out and seek them without thinking about them first. People may seek challenges; yet they tend to choose comfortable ones that won't overcome them or with a high probability of doing so. None would choose to be the first to moon the Earth from the Moon because of the likelihood of freezing one's butt off.  Suffering that others dump on others because they are sadistic louts or whatever is wrong obviously. The Apostle Paul in Corinthians mentions numerous sufferings that are overcome by the Lord- that is a different paradigm than the worldly view of course.

Direct Federal Presidential Vote Swipe Card?

It makes little sense to package the election of a federal President and Vice-President on state ballots so locals or any of innumerable organized ad hoc crime syndicates can have a chance to make it difficult to vote. Each U.S. citizen over the age of 18 could be issued one Presidential vote swipe card in some way when they sign up to vote. The card could be punched and swiped over a period of a couple of days at the start of each election year. It would be a good idea to avoid the entire packaging with state ballots and all of the junk processes about state voter registration that mobile Americans may find as inconvenient as Obamacare residency requirements.

 Credit card companies and even federal programs have no trouble with card transactions that require valid I.D. Issuing non-counterfeitable voter I.D. swipe cards that allow registered citizens to choose a candidate (or write one in on the signature line) while keeping voter identity secret regarding choice should be easy. The United States used to be a somewhat smart country making steady progress.

 Why bunk things up with silly state absentee ballot requirements with weird dates? Why not make things simple for any American so they can vote at any convenience store or check out self-service line for President?

 Some Americans of the Democrat Party want the nation to be made of immoral or amoral imperial stooges free to help concentrate wealth while cutting taxes like President Trump, Obama and Trump and slopping the pigs with affordable corporate health care; that doesn’t mean the nation need be stupid and anachronistic regarding voting booths and crowds as if they were Soviet proles in line for bread. If there was an easy to get Presidential swipe card I would run it through the card scanner in November when I buy a loaf of bread and gruel- If just to write-in the name of the best American clergyman who is post-millennialist or the most competent ecological economist.

Some conservative me-first and only Republicans fail to understand that a society advances generally in relation to how well off the most poor of society are. Like military units that make certain that privates have good health, food and equipment, civil society too functions better with few people structurally repressed with dysfunctional social economic positions. The federal government should at least streamline its federal election method so everyone can easily vote.
