Opinions
Are you black, white, hispanic, Asian, mixed, other, etc?
Race is white, but heritage is German, French, Italian, Spanish - which I guess you could argue makes me Hispanic though I nor my mother's family ever thought so - French Canadian, English... Society & Politics
Is it racist to call the Corona Virus 'The Chinese virus'?
Oh good grief. The "Black Death." The "Spanish Flu." "Ebola virus." "Hong Kong flu." "German measles." It is pretty much standard operating practice to identify an illness with where it was first... Society & Politics
What do you think of the European Union?
As an American I should probably withhold comment. However, in general, I am not a fan of the EU - and was a supporter of Brexit to the extent that it was any of my business. (I am an ardent... Society & Politics
Do you think society places less burden on women and treats them better?
Actually, a funny thing happened on the way to abstract equality between men and women. The lack of equality having its roots in a culture and law that evolved, imperfectly to be sure, to protect... Society & Politics
Is capitalism a leftist ideal or a rightist?
Actually, if you are going to trace the pedigree of the idea, capitalism is a philosophy of the left. It having its origins in the 18th century Scottish Enlightenment, usually being pegged to Adam... Society & Politics
No opinions are right or wrong. Agree or disagree?
So, it is perfectly right to throw Jews into ovens? Keep African-Americans in chains and force them to eat at segregated lunch counters? It is all matter of mere opinion? Force women to submit to... Society & Politics
Do you think we blame the opposite gender too much for our own faults?
Voted Yes, but it is not a function of gender per se. It is rather because the culture has become - annoyingly so, quite frankly - whinny, self-satisfied and self-pitying. Drenched in an ethic... Society & Politics
Do you prefer traditional or nontraditional women?
Well, a bit of a balance, but it tilts to the traditional. My girlfriend and I have lived together for 12 years and have three children together. So in that sense we are very not traditional.... Society & Politics
What is your opinion on AOC?
Truth in advertising, I have worked in or with Congress since the late 1980s and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (as well as her two colleagues Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar) are probably three of the... Society & Politics
Do you think the label “unscientific” has become an overused word that has had it’s original meaning distorted?
Actually, especially right now, the problem is that society is too quick to lean on science. To expect science to deliver more than it can and to push it into spheres well beyond its ambit. If, in... Society & Politics
Why are Trump supporters ignorant of the fact that state and local governments can force citizens into quarantine?
It is not just Trump supporters - the self-satisfied phrasing of the question notwithstanding. Americans are notoriously poorly educated about their government and how it works. Indeed, younger... Society & Politics
Is it ever ok to spank a child?
My girlfriend and I have lived together for 12 years and have three children together. Two boys, ages 9 and 8, and my little princess, age 6. The first two children were unplanned pregnancies and... Society & Politics
What do you think of Tucker Carlson’s view on coronavirus and how it should be managed?
Very short answer. I am a conservative, though in the classical tradition, and do not often find myself in agreement with Mr. Carlson. However, in this case, he has generally been far more... Society & Politics
Would you date someone with different political views?
Sure. Been there, done that - and I have worked in politics since the late 1980s. What a lot of people don't get is that, although the tensions between political leaders can grow and even... Society & Politics
Rate Socialist Politician AOC?
Truth in advertising, I have worked in or with Congress since the late 1980s and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (as well as her two colleagues Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar) are probably two of the least... Society & Politics
Did Christianity really cause a 1,000 year dark age of scientific repression?
Well, the question is a bit more complicated that can be squeezed into 4,000 characters. Not least because the sharp distinction that the modern mind makes between science and faith was not as... Society & Politics
How do you feel about the decline of White populations worldwide?
Voted "Don't care," particularly as it is not that surprising as it reflects the advance state of Western economies. In that odd way, it suggests the success of Western civilization - and that is... Society & Politics
Can science and religion co-exist peacefully?
It depends on what you mean by co-exist. Obviously they have existed in Western civilization, side-by-side, for centuries. There are tensions and some strands of religion have reacted not always... Society & Politics
What is your opinion on the police in the US?
No joke, when I was no more than 5 years old, I can remember my mother telling my younger brother and me, "If you kids get thrown in jail you can expect to stay there because I won't be bailing... Society & Politics
Should cheating be illegal?
Actually, adultery - the legal term for "cheating" - is illegal in many jurisdictions. In the days before "no fault divorce," it was in fact grounds for dissolving a marriage. A marriage license... Society & Politics
