Demo Troubles with Economic Assumptions
Neither Republicans nor Democrats inspire much confidence in people this year as they seem unconcerned with fundamental economic matters. Democrat leaders seem to regard race as an issue that can solve fundamental economic inequalities objectively. That error concerns itself with social history instead of economic facts that have always affected all people equally regardless of race. That is, poverty is poverty regardless of race.

Monism Doesn’t Preclude Mind-Body Duality
Can the Universe be said to be monistic because it is made of energy with mass as a secondary quality? If so, a Universe made of energy does not mean that pluralism of forms of energy such as exist for quantum structures cannot exist, for manifestly they do. Mind too may arise from energy yet may be said to have a different form than either plain energy or other forms of energy such as gluons or the color force may be said to have.

Covide Defense Masks and Statehood for Postage Stamp D.C.
The District of Columbia becoming a state is a ludicrous idea. D.C. as a state would have a certain piddling runtiness about it with a governor theoretically able to rule the Federal Government virus infecting the state. A federal district is supposed to be neutral in order to serve as an area for the federal government to base itself uncoerced by the power and laws of a state and the panoply of corrupt local politicians statehood brings. A state governor should not be free to exert his sovereign responsibilities over the Federal Government intruding in his state like a virus.

The Roman Republic Two-Thousand Years Ahead of its Time
In some respects the Roman Republic was two thousand years ahead of its time. When the Republic was brought to an end by the first charismatic general able to command the allegiance of the masses (Julius Caesar during the civil war) a new political concept for humanity started by Plato and Greek inspiration came to an end. Humanity for most of its history civilizations had imperial rule Athens and other Hellenic Greek states were not like that. What followed the civil war was nearly 1800 years of imperialism across the globe except where tribes were too primitive and small for empire.

* Clear Halloween face masks with eye coverings and small replacable nose and mouth filters would be popular with those seeking good protection from covid 19 in heavy people traffic, yet the government seems disinterested in mass producing the easy ppe that even people on buses could wear to and let bus the economy work a little better without the mass new infections.
