Well, that’s certainly true, Jeff.

AMEN

Your right about that. All the trouble in the world is people trying to impose their will upon other people. We have met the enemy and they are us.

Our infrastructure is in need of repair. The bridges and roads between Democrats and Republicans are in terrible shape and everyone suffers. Blame is always assigned to the others and suspicion and anger just grows and grows until …

RE: “Too bad we haven’t figured out a way to make those social units large enough to include the world”.Our evolutionary success also developed our tribal mentality with a natural fear of others not like us, just like modern chimpanzees, and unlike bonobos.

Could it be a matter of scale? We do okay (not perfectly) in groups of a few hundred, less well in groups of a few thousand, not well at all in groups of a few million, and quite badly when we get to the billions.

A man shoots up a Planned Parenthood office and it’s a mass shooting and he’s a “gunman,” not a terrorist.

Nobody asked if he’s a Muslim nor do they seem to be interested in what his religious beliefs are. How are we to know what the next religious group we need to exclude from the United States is?

The Republican Party now wants to shut down the government over funding for Planned Parenthood. Have they gone soft on terrorism by giving into this terrorist’s demands?

THANK YOU !

Colorado Ron; given recent history, you might want to pick a different state for a moniker, or at least separate yourself from those activities??
