What French words or phrases would you like me to teach you?
Okay, this won't surprise you..."After me, the deluge!!" Cheery, isn't it? Society & Politics
Do you find optimistic people to also be naive?
Put me down as a "yes." As J. Robert Oppenheimer once said, "The optimist believes we are living in the best of all possible worlds - and the pessimist fears that he is right." That is not cause... Society & Politics
What does your writing look like?
Mine is very small and requires the CIA or the FBI to decode it. Other than that, pretty nice. Society & Politics
Who was your favorite?
Put me down for Alexander Hamilton. He had a surer sense of the practical aspects of political life and human nature. In this he was a Burkean conservative who understood the relationship between... Society & Politics
American friend, do you talk easily about money and success with each other?
Well, I cannot speak for all, but I never discuss money and success and I can't recall - except perhaps with some family members - discussing it with anyone. At most, with friends, someone might... Society & Politics
Palestine or Isreal?
Voted for neither as, from an American perspective, it should properly be viewed as a strategic calculation, not a moral decision. That said, your characterization of it as two children fighting... Society & Politics
Are you tired of Christmas yet?
Yup. I have to admit, it sounds Grinchy to say so, but when you start seeing the first Christmas advertisements before Halloween - and I also have one neighbor who put lights on his house before... Society & Politics
Do you stand with Palestine?
Actually, I voted for neither as, from an American perspective, it should properly be viewed as a strategic calculation, not a moral decision. That said, to be fair, there are serious moral issues... Society & Politics
American Republicans tend to be very pro-Israel. Do you think that fact makes some people (maybe you) less likely to currently support Israel?
Voted for "See results," but mostly because the premise of the question is slightly flawed and the "No" answer was biased on a certain basis. Quite simply, this was not a balanced set of answers.... Society & Politics
On a scale from 1-10 how well can you take opinions?
Put me down for a 9. Given that I work in politics, it is almost requisite. That does not mean that I have to agree with every opinion that I hear. Rather only that I listen and debate issues in a... Society & Politics
Is life as humans know it really getting worse?
Voted Yes, but it is a qualified Yes. It is, after all, in the nature of human affairs that the times will swing back and forth - at least until the pendulum stops swinging. However, to that last,... Society & Politics
Have you seen the incredible news that Germany is set to become the world's 3rd largest economy?
Very brief response. This is actually not too surprising. Japan is an island nation with, in demographic terms, the oldest population on Earth. (Italy has the second oldest population.) This was... Society & Politics
If you could, which institution, organization or establishment would you like to join?
That's a good question. I suppose, given my line of work, that the Heritage Foundation - a think tank - would be my choice. Also, the Ronald Reagan Institute, or if I were looking further afield,... Society & Politics
Do you think women can embody power in politics?
One name answers the question: Lady Margaret Thatcher. An amazing national leader, she dominated her party and her nation's politics for over a decade and made significant and lasting changes to... Society & Politics
Why do some Americans seem to think that Europe is no longer important to their interests and that the US should concentrate elsewhere?
Believe it or not, this is actually a short answer, rooted in part in the geography of American culture and, in part, on the nature of American education about recent history. Taking the latter... Society & Politics
President Biden has said he supports Israel. Today he said he will send 100 million dollars to the Palestinians. Is he buying votes? ?
While superficially you have a point, it is oversimplifying things a bit - and I say this as no fan of President Biden. Indeed, it is not too much of a stretch to say that the current crisis has... Society & Politics
Do you support Israel, Hamas or only the Palestinian cause (but denounce Hamas)?
Actually, I voted for neither as, from an American perspective, it should properly be viewed as a strategic calculation, not a moral decision. That said, to be fair, there are serious moral issues... Society & Politics
What do you think of Mr. Biden's statement?
This is pretty much standard fare for any American political leader in response to questions regarding the USA's role in the world. The real question is to what extent the sloganeering is backed... Society & Politics
Israel or palestine?
Actually, I voted for neither as, from an American perspective, it should properly be viewed as a strategic calculation, not a moral decision. That said, to be fair, there are serious moral issues... Society & Politics
Do you have origins?
Oh yeah, typical American - a mishmash of a lot of things. German, French, Italian, Canadian - both English and French Canadian, Spanish, and Polish. Dad's side was the German, French, Polish and... Society & Politics
