The question is a bit overbroad. Do I trust ALL politicians? The obvious answer is no. No more than I trust ALL people in general. Such a level of trust would not likely be rewarded as not ALL... Society & Politics

Voted "Other" given the characterization that was attached to the "Yes" answer. In fairness, while enforcement will be problematic, the effect of the legislation is to make parents do something... Society & Politics

Let me start by saying that I am a Republican who is no fan of former President Trump. Although some of his domestic policies were effective, on the whole he was a socially divisive force the... Society & Politics

Voted "Other." Mostly because the fortunes of a nation ebb and flow and there is never a moment of absolute perfection. When the USA led the Allies to victory in World War II, it was arguably one... Society & Politics

In absolute terms, yes, the USA is still number one. At least as measured in terms of the economy. In military terms, the USA is similarly number one insofar as its' technological prowess and... Society & Politics

Well, I grew up in Michigan, where the sun does not shine from November through March and it is dismal and cold and snowy. To wit... My mother used to say, "the only day we see the sun all winter... Society & Politics

Voted No. While there is an understandable temptation to view euthanasia as a form of compassion and thus respect for life, this is a sort of misnomer. In effect, making life optional and thus... Society & Politics

Not hardly. In a nutshell, Mr. Biden reversed - and I say this as NO fan of former President Trump - the generally sensible immigration policies of his predecessor. Not because they were bad... Society & Politics

The question is the fallacy of the false alternative. In fact, America does allow as many parties as the public desires. The reason why it is basically a two party system is not legal but rather... Society & Politics

Not quite sure what you mean by a scam. Texas - and a number of other states - are being overrun by illegal immigrants. On top of that, the Governors and mayors of several states and localities... Society & Politics

Actually, the African-American vote initially went overwhelmingly for the Republican party - the party of Abraham Lincoln after all. This only began to change with the advent of the New Deal in... Society & Politics

Well, given that I have worked in politics since the late 1980s, I'd guess I have to say "political," and so voted accordingly. However, in my personal relationships, I try not to be. Which is not... Society & Politics
