Which political forces do you sympathize with more?

Voted "right-wing," but I always, when I see this kind of question, have to put an asterisk over it. First, to start, the terms "right," "left" and so forth, are not terribly helpful. The... Society & Politics

Which Party Would You Vote For?

Did not vote given the characterization of each party. That said, the party I would chose is Republican, but that says less than people - and this poll - assume. American political parties are not... Society & Politics

How much longer does US have?

What is your opinion on Greta Thunberg?

Voted D. Ms. Thunberg got her reputation because she started talking about the climate. Just a hunch, but as the father of one pre-schooler and two elementary school kids I think it more than fair... Society & Politics

What books are you reading at the moment?

At the moment, I am reading a book that some gal from France who is on the site recommended to me. Let's see, what was her nom de guerre ? Can't remember... (Okay, that last part was a joke.)... Society & Politics

What do you think Biden means when he says that A New World Order is coming? and are you in support of this New World Order?

Forgive me, I did not vote on this one as the third option is the correct one. Mr. Biden meant nothing. It was so much verbal meringue, which is the President's preferred rhetorical mode.... Society & Politics

Would a European army be a good idea?

The problem is that a European military is a solution that puts the cart before the horse. It assumes that the existence of the tool solves the issue rather than the willingness to use the tool... Society & Politics

Did you know that Ukraine is not a democratic state?

Yup - and so what? The issues at stake in Ukraine are not ideological. On the American side, it was that victory in the Cold War that has prevented even an alliance of convenience between the... Society & Politics
