Let me get this straight...you think that if someone is intolerant of racists, that makes them racist?

The amount of people raped, beaten, and murdered in the name of religion is unfathomable. That's why. We should absolutely deal with climate change AND get rid of all religions.

The U.S. also knew that Saudis were partially responsible for 9/11 and did nothing. The war wasn't about terrorism or revenge. It was about control for oil. The U.S. government doesn't give a crap about any of its people, so long as it's national interests are kept safe and the status quo maintained.

If you care at all about the quality of your life, then you need to be interested in politics. It isn't as simple as you put it, at least not anymore.

The country of the U.S. is in a state of crisis of which I don't think we've seen in over 150 years. Sorry if it bothers you to hear about, but this stuff is important.

Personally, I try to learn as much about other countries' politics and history to find out how the world got to where we are. If these videos or posts about the U.S. politics bother you, I would recommend just skipping over them and avoid the potential negative emotional reaction you displayed earlier.

Yep, just got it a couple weeks ago. It's not the brightest, but it is a lot of fun to play with and I love the idea of QTC. I wish there were more lights that utilize it.

I just ordered a brass Peak Logan with the momentary switch. I'll have to report back how that one compares.

To build that infrastructure, an increase in taxes will be needed. The middle and lower tax brackets can't afford any additional taxes at this time, so that leaves corporations and the upper tax brackets that will need to foot the bill. They don't want that, so they pay to have campaigns of ignorance blasted at the masses to induce fear of any tax reform.

At the end of the day, nothing gets fixed and the wealthy keep their money.
