USA defeated in Afghanistan?
Voted "Something else." In the narrowest military sense, the United States was not defeated. However, in the Clausewitzian sense of a contest not just between material resources of opposing sides... Society & Politics
Do all Trump supporters belive in conspiracy theories?
Loved this survey. Yes all do. MOST but not all. I don't know. Not exactly a scientific survey. Put me down for "MOST do not, but a few do." The bulk of Mr. Trump's supporters being lower middle... Society & Politics
What makes you afraid to discuss politics?
Actually, I am not afraid to discuss politics. If for no other reason than that I work in politics for a living so it is kind of hard to escape it. That said, like any topic, appropriateness of... Society & Politics
"Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment." Agree or Disagree?
Voted "agree." This because while the misery and social disruptions of high unemployment should not be underestimated, the truth is that high inflation can lead to high unemployment. This being... Society & Politics
Do you think it would be a good thing if the countries of the European Union become one and only one country?
Not at all, but whether they are ready to give up their sovereignty is somewhat academic, as that has been what the EU has been about since before it was the EU. It was the Treaty of Rome that... Society & Politics
Do you think post 2020 moderate Democrats align more with the far left or the Republicans?
Well, given the premise of the question - in fact, the differences between the Biden Democrats and the Trump Republicans could be measured with a micrometer - it is a little hard to answer. That... Society & Politics
Do you support BLM?
Voted No, but mostly because "Black Lives Matter" is really little more than a group of people following a trendy slogan masquerading as serious thought. Where it is more substantive it tends to... Society & Politics
"Military action that defies international law is sometimes justified." Agree or Disagree?
Voted "strongly agree," though this not ought to suggest that military action ought be undertaken frivolously or easily. That said, international law is honored only in the breech. While it would... Society & Politics
Do you think the French are arrogant?
Not really. Like all peoples, they have their virtues and their vices, but these are in general and in any case are usually based on some outstanding moment in time that sticks in the popular... Society & Politics
Does "My body, My Choice" have more legitimacy and sense regarding taking a COVID-19 Vaccine, or to having an Abortion?
The question is something of the an "apples to oranges" comparison in that "my body, my choice" when applied in the abortion case involves not one body, but two. Whereas with the vaccine it... Society & Politics
Was Colonialism all terrible? Should we change our outlook?
No, as with all human affairs, it is a more complex picture than retrospective palpitations and angst suggests. Imperialism began in the 1500s predominantly as Europe was growing in population and... Society & Politics
Was Trump Pro or Anti unions?
Well, President Trump sort of split the difference. Union leadership was generally anti-Trump and pro-Democrat. The unions having been aligned mostly with the Democrats since the 1930s and... Society & Politics
Is America 🇺🇸 in decline?
Voted "undecided." A little historical perspective helps. In truth, we've been here before. In the 1960s and 70s, we had an era of race riots, a low intensity war, campus radicalism,... Society & Politics
Is it Time for Millionaires & Billionaires to Pay Their Fair Share in Taxes?
Actually, it is well past time that everyone pay their "fair share." This given the fact that 47% of ALL Americans pay NO Federal income tax at all. Rather, they are content to rail against the... Society & Politics
Abortion Debate: Why is Fetal Heartbeat a thing... cuz it’s not?
Actually, it is a "thing" and it relates in law to defining the moment when a fetus is a human being. Which indeed is why the courts and the law have tied themselves up in knots since Roe v. Wade... Society & Politics
"No one chooses their country of birth, so it’s foolish to be proud of it." Agree or Disagree?
Short answer to an easy question: You didn't choose your parents and family either, yet they fed you, clothed you, etc. Should you be loyal to them? To be sure, as Burke said, "For a country... Society & Politics
Do You Think Republicans Are Bunch Of Clueless Losers Because They Love To Focus On Stupid Cultural War Crap?
Did not bother to vote as the question is intended to make the asker feel good about himself and not elicit a serious debate. Further, it is a stereotype that Republicans focus on social issues.... Society & Politics

"Because corporations cannot be trusted to voluntarily protect the environment, they require regulation." Do you agree/disagree with this statement?
Voted B - Agree. However, there is actually not much disagreement in the nation on this question. Rather the disagreement is over how much regulation is prudent, how much can be incentivized via... Society & Politics
