  1. Yes. There's still a huge, nanny-government left, philosophically, if the left would discard its more lunatic notions, like identity politics and globalism. If they want to see themselves as movers and shakers on this new world stage, then they must needs secure the votes at home, and that is necessarily more of a nationalistic sort of thing. As a libertarian, I think getting globalism down to nationalism level is a step in the right direction, but then I'd immediately set out to whittle away at nationalism in favor of the counties and boroughs. Return more authority and self-responsibility to the boroughs, and the Danish invaders will have no chance against the nation. Sure, band together to fight off foreign invaders and the odd major catastrophe. But the key to sustainable nations is in the sustainable and self-supporting nature of its constituent boroughs. From the volunteer fire department, to the delightful social events that raise money for more beds and an MRI at the community hospital. Take CARE of your old folks, who were kind and took care of YOU. Real charity, in other words. Government services have atrophied the community spirit. I can see a return to that in the future, as more and more people reject how the stuffed-shirt government-administrator types muck things up, trying to run everything by remote control, in top-down fashion. Top-down is for the crisis. Bottom-up is for the day-to-day, and we've lost sight of that.

  2. Democracy needs to be leavened by a strong constitution, which I don't see in Europe or UK. Free speech? Optional. Right to keep and bear arms? Optional. Due process? Optional.

  3.  Blake839  : I get what you're saying, but my point is there is no equivalent of the Bill of Rights in any other Constitution in the world. And the 2nd Amendment is the ultimate guarantee of all rights enumerated in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

  4. You only see the incompetence because you asked these shitheads to run your lives.

  5. Global warming is entirely (Michael) Mann-made. Erase decades of cooling in the 20th Century, pick the coldest point in the cooling in the 1970s, and call that your base line. Then make millions (billions) of dollars off the "hockey stick." Fiddling with the data, when the data are so complicated and vast, is easy.

  6. We've had the technological wherewithal to beam solar power down from space with microwave power satellites since the 1970s. No nuclear waste, No carbon emissions. Just a big ole death ray in space! LOL! Dangers with all forms of energy. All about the risk management. Coal burning puts off more radiation than a nuclear power plant. It's just a risk we've always accepted, without even thinking about it. There's lots of lunacy on energy policy and environment, and it stretches back decades. I think the way people live is evolving very rapidly. More rapidly than legacy institutions can adapt. Immortal ANYthing is doomed. This is why every creature has an "age" gene. If the current don't die off, then they won't be able to adapt to new conditions. The only way we get better is variation over generations. Some hundreds of millions of years ago, the creatures who were mortal and changed over time eventually ate all the critters that lived forever, unchanged. My guess is that this happened on the cellular level.

  7. The only countries doing anything to reduce their footprint are free countries.
