How would you like to have lived in the era before automobiles? From the book … Made in America … author … bill Bryson
The automobile may have its drawbacks, but at least it doesn’t normally attract flies or drop things you need to step around. The filth of horses was a constant problem for cities well into this century, one that we can barely imagine now. In 1900, some dedicated official in Rochester, New York, calculated that the manure produced by the city’s horses would in a year cover a one-acre square to a depth of 175 feet. Kept in often unsanitary conditions and worked hard through all weathers, horses not only drew flies but dropped like them. At the turn of the century, fifteen thousand horses a year died on the streets of New York, twelve thousand on the streets of Chicago. Sometimes their carcasses were left for days. Between the flies and the manure, and the steaming corpses, there was no mistaking that you were in a city.

When the law came down that there wasn't any smoking allowed in public places, one would have thought the world was going to end. Smokers were cursing the government for taking away freedom of choice. I was a smoker back then, and at first, I also was upset about the new ruling, but I finally understood the need to change the law. When seat belts became mandatory, again one would have thought the world was coming to an end, as people were screaming that the government was taking away freedom of choice. We don't always get our own way, and that is a good thing, because if we did, we would be the worst dictators ever. If the anti-vaccinators think they are treated in an unfair way, they should take their case right to the Supreme court of Canada if necessary and allow the Judges to make the decision. This is the way the system works. It does not work by blowing horns, blocking traffic and shouting, and neither should it work that way.

@verucasalt2391 There is a reason that people from other countries desperately want to come to the United States, because those people "know" the meaning of dictatorship! Do what your told, or die! That is your choice.
The problem with these Trump idolizers, is that they are spoiled rotten, and always want more, rather than appreciating the system of government, where votes actually mean something.
In Russia, if a party even tries to start up to oppose Putin, every one disappears "mysteriously." Putin will be a dictator until he dies. That is his aim, and his system of government.
Governments with more than one party are messy, because they police each other, and for that, one should be VERY THANKFUL.

Thanks for honoring free speech.
My guess is that when Jordan recently created the podcast The Monster of Self-Guilt: “The Devil is Always in the Details” … it was his own conscience crying out to be relieved of its heavy burden, as his conscience is fully aware that he earned his millions of dollars by being deceptive.
#1 Jordan made the choice to play party politics as a Conservative … which lead him to state that the Liberal Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau was trying to take freedom of speech away from Canadians … when the truth was and is … that it was The Board of Psychologists in Ontario, Canada, that were receiving complaints from irate citizens concerning Jordan’s misuse of his license as a psychologist to in turn play party politics on social media.
#2 Jordan went on social media to preach his (either Catholic or Protestant) Christian religion … which was another misuse of his license as a Professor of Psychology.
#3 As a heterosexual … Jordan chose to preach that there isn’t any such condition as “being” transgender. And he did that under the guise of psychology … rather than admitting, “This is my personal opinion, based on my interpretation of the Christian Bible.”
#4 Jordan claimed that he was being forced to use words that respected those who (say) they are transgender … when the truth is … he didn’t have to say those words at all. His statement was that he would not be “forced” to say those words … which is much different than taking “away” freedom of speech. He wanted his followers on social media to believe that someone from the Canadian government was going to approach him and say, “You HAVE to say those pronouns, or we are going to throw you in jail.”
#5 Had Jordan created a disclaimer on every podcast … that his opinions were personal on all subjects … and did not represent his training as a psychologist … he would not have had any reason to even go to court … much less be retrained as a psychologist. And his conscience would not be creating havoc in his own mentality … which should be plain to all … by his following words from his more recent podcast.
“The Monster of Self-Guilt: “The Devil is Always in the Details” … “Yeah well, one of the things you learn if you are a clinician and you have any sense, is, also, is also why you don’t offer people advice. But I don’t know what the hell you should do. Like maybe you and I could figure it out together with some really careful thought, but I can’t … most people are in situations that are sufficiently complex, so that I can’t … casual advice is just not helpful. I mean there is a real arrogance in that. The same arrogance as judgement, like.”

The term should not be "political correctness." It should be "polite correctness." The word "political" makes the "government" the focus, and the supposed culprit of all the dissention, whereas the word "polite correctness,” puts the responsibility where it belongs, which is on the individual. Should we not always be asking ourselves, "Am I being polite, or am I a big part of the problem?" It was not the government that enforced a law that the “N” word had to stop being used. It was those of the black race that rightfully complained that that was derogatory, and they wanted people to respect them by using the term “Black race.” Now, in “polite” company, people use the term “Black race.” The government has never forced people to either use words, or to stop using words. As civilians, we monitor our own language. And if a citizen feels forced to use words that show respect of a certain group, then that person should take the complaint to the Supreme Court if he or she feels it is necessary, but we should not blame the leaders of the government. Concerning language, when it pertains to likes and dislikes, they are just ordinary citizens.

The first President of the United States, George Washington, under the question, Party, wrote, Unaffiliated. I suggest that Donald Trump also should have stated Unaffiliated under Party, because he didn’t have any intention whatsoever of following Republican policies. He wanted to rule supreme with a heavy hand all his own making. The writing was on the wall, when Republicans became terrified of being fired if they dared to state their own opinions that, in turn, disagreed with the opinions of "the Donald." I suggest that had he won another four years, there wouldn’t have been any laws, except the laws that Donald dictated. And the problem is, some Republicans still in office that don't want to lose their positions in government, are terrified that if by chance he were to win the next election, they would also be fired if they dared (now) to go against him. It takes brave people to stand up against such a want to be dictator.

A messy government is where there is more than one party allowed. The politicians police each other, and bicker back and forth to try to win elections. What a wonderful system. In a dictatorship, there is one man that rules, and you follow his "advise," or meet a swift end to your lives. Do not KNOCK the government in the United States. It is good, BECAUSE it is messy. Of course it's not perfect. The politicians have to try to appease a whole lot of spoiled people, who all want only their own personal laws to dictate the lives of others. I live in Canada, and no matter which party is in power, I am thankful every day for the treatment I receive, and by the way ... I live in a trailer, in a trailer park. When you want too much, you might end up with someone in power such as Donald Trump, who, with his slick tongue will promise you anything ... just to get your votes ... and then WATCH OUT.

Most ex-Presidents walk away, and allow the new President to do his job. Donald simply will not show respect for the institution itself. When Donald ran for office of the President, he should have run as an independent, because he is not a team player, and didn't have any intention of showing respect whatsoever for Republican policies, or for other Republicans. He started immediately firing any Republican that disagreed with him, and his new wanna-be dictatorship. His supporters don't understand that he didn't care about them personally. He just needed them for their votes. Also, it's been said that Donald Trump did not start a war when he was President, and that is true, but the real terror is, he did try to start a civil war, and because he won't stop, he is still very much a danger in that regard. And I suggest that if he were to win the civil war, he would then start wars with other countries. Such power seekers always want more power.

Thank you for respecting my freedom of speech, by not deleting this post.
People that are vaccinated, have the advantage of being able to survive the virus. Many elderly people that are not vaccinated, will catch the virus, and will not survive. The immune systems of those in weakened conditions, are not healthy, as are the immune systems of those who are young.
So, to be considerate of the elderly, and those even younger that have poor immune systems, if you take the vaccination, that will give a better chance of survival.

Thanks for honoring freedom of speech.
Donald only cared about your vote. He didn't care one iota about YOU. If he cared about his followers, he would have wanted to PROTECT THEM from being incarcerated ... rather than encouraging them to break the law that he KNEW would cause them to be incarcerated ... and have a record ... for attacking the Capitol.
Do you think that Donald CARES about the harm he caused them? Do you think he visits them in prison, and thanks them for their support
Several of Donald Trump’s followers were incarcerated for their involvement in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Here are a few notable cases: John Sullivan, also known as “Jayden X,” was convicted on numerous charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder. He sought to “incite violence” and “foment anarchy” during the attack. Sullivan had different political beliefs and was perhaps the only defendant who showed up at the Capitol despite not subscribing to the goals of the protest. He received a six-year prison sentence.
A Trump supporter assaulted law enforcement officers with a Trump flag and used a giant Trump billboard as a battering ram during the Capitol riot. This individual was sentenced to 46 months in prison.
Another Trump supporter, who attacked officers while wearing a “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” sweatshirt, received a 12-year federal prison sentence.
In total, nearly 1,000 individuals involved in the Capitol riot have been convicted or pleaded guilty. These cases highlight the legal consequences faced by those who participated in the violent events on that day.

In honor of freedom of speech, thank you for not deleting this post.
I want to have the same attitude about life, as does Neil deGrasse Tyson.
From the book Starry Messenger … Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization … author Neil deGrasse Tyson … As you might suspect among branches of scientific inquiry, those most susceptible to human bias are fields that study and judge the appearance, conduct, and habits of other humans. Topping the list, find psychology, sociology, and especially anthropology. If they are to establish and preserve their integrity, these fields must engage extra levels of peer review and disclosure, with the express purpose of spotting bias.
One day, we may discover or otherwise affirm no discrete categories at all, as the multidimensional gender universe unfolds along a continuum, like the colors contained in sunlight. This will significantly dilute the power of homophobic and transphobic bigots to declare that they are somehow separate and distinct from other members of their own species.
Many people, who defend our cherished freedoms as citizens of the US, will argue against mandated masks, helmet laws, gun laws, seatbelts, and anything else that constricts a person from living the way they want. Odd that many of these same people will maintain or seek laws to restrict another person’s free expression of their gender identity.

I wonder what “law” Donald will dictate AT women that they must obey … during THIS presidency?
And I suggest you keep in mind that up until he ran for office of the presidency ... Donald was pro-choice for women who wanted abortions.
It seems that con-veniently ... *what Jesus expected of women ... was not on Donald's mind ... until he NEEDED that massive voting power of the Evangelicals.
From the book … To Offer Compassion: A history of the Clergy ... a History of the Consultation Service on Abortion ... author Doris Andrea Dirks ... and ... Patricia A. Relf
During the 2016 election cycle, calls to overturn Roe v. Wade continued. As a candidate in the Republican primaries, Donald J. Trump went so far as to say that if abortion were recriminalized, "there has to be some form of punishment" for women who have abortions, a position so extreme that even antiabortion groups such as Right to Life disavowed it. He quickly modified his stance to call only for punishment for the person performing the abortion, saying "Women punish themselves."

Concerning the subject of politics, people that badmouth either the left or the right, seem to think that when they see it, they can spot the truth. Added to that problem, is that the news media outlets, to make certain their ratings stay high, keep fueling the political fire between left and right, to the point where many of us probably can’t differentiate between the words left or right. Somewhere there must be a middle “line” on which to focus, if only we could find it during the frenzy. I don’t know about you, but I relate to the following quote, “We are all hallucinating all the time, including right now. It’s just that when we agree about our hallucinations, we call that reality.” Author, Anil Seth, neuroscientist.

I suggest that if the majority of people were left-handed, the right would be perceived as being "sinister."
From the book … Cultural Anthropology by Selby Garretson
A result from psychology
In American culture we feel that things on the right are somehow better, more reliable, and stronger than things on the left.
To understand why we feel this way involves going into the languages and traditions of Western culture and asking about the symbolic history of ideas “right” and “left.” The word for “left’ in Latin is sinister, and the word for “right” is dexter. “Left” in our culture’s history has been associated with “evil” or “anomalous” or “dangerous”; while “right” is associated with the law (droit, the word for “law” in French, is derived from Latin dexter and “law” or “right”) In politics, “left” means “change society to new (sinister) forms, while “right” means “keep things as they are,” or “keep going straight ahead.” Even recently, parents used to give their left-handed children problems, and no end of moral misgiving over their “affliction.” They would often make them change to being right-handed, perhaps even doing harm to the psychological well-being of the child. This preference for right-handedness persists, even though it has been estimated that up to 10 percent of the people in America are naturally left-handed.
This system of logic by oppositions is by no means confined to our society or culture. It is found all over the world.

I always figured people that badmouth the left or the right, seem to think they have found the "line" in the middle, that makes their opinions and behaviors superior. What a joke we are, on ourselves.
When demonstrations of angry adults last too long, often, mob violence is the end result, with nothing good accomplished. Such behavior reminds me of the quote, "Even friendly mobs, have the smell of the beast" ... author unknown.
Whoever organized this disorganization, should have taken the complaints to court, rather than to the streets. That is the way civil people behave. Let the Supreme Court judges decide the matter.

For helping women who wanted abortions ... would you label these members of clergy as being moral ... or immoral?
From the book … Life's Work: A Moral Argument for Choice ... author ... Dr. Willie Parker
Ethical Abortion Care
An estimated 450,000 women called on the Clergy Consultation Service for help in the six years before Roe--and the coalition, which started with twenty-one members, grew to two thousand. Activism by Moody's group helped propel New York's legislature to legalize abortion in 1970, the first state in the nation to do so.
Emboldened by its success, the Clergy Consultation Service then began to help women from other states travel to New York to obtain safe and legal abortions, and then, breaking with medical establishment, these same clerics proposed the model for the first abortion clinic. Believing that women's privacy and autonomy would be better served if they could get their abortion care in a freestanding clinic instead of in a hospital. Moody's group worked with a doctor committed to providing "low cost, quality care, humane treatment and a willingness to serve the poor" in a freestanding place. Women's Services, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, was the first abortion clinic in the country.

As have others, please do not delete my freedom of speech, and if you do, it “should” bother your conscience.
When Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump, if she had encouraged her followers to attack the Capitol the way Donald encouraged his followers to attack the Capitol when he lost the election to Joe Biden, do you think Donald would not have wanted Hillary to be incarcerated (or maybe worse) for her crime against the government over which Donald suddenly ruled supreme?
If Hillary had even dared to rock Donald's boat as the new President, we don't know for certain what Donald (with his new and impressive sense of ultimate power) would have done to Hillary, but we should know that it would not have been at all good FOR Hillary.
In total contrast to Donald’s erratic and dictatorial behavior, was the striking message from the honorable Republican Ronald Reagan when he was leaving the office as President, “We must always remember that our strength lies in our respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and our determination to preserve it for our children and their children.”
If Donald becomes President again … his first JOB will be to do away with the Constitution and with any news media outlet that expresses a negative word against his erratic behavior. And he WILL create … “The Law According to Donald Trump” … as THAT is his aim.
Guaranteed … you won’t be laughing at his “jokes” then.

When parents agree with circumcision of boys, you claim that is acceptable to the boys. Should that not also be against the law? After all, that is not done with the agreement of the boys when they are babies.
Just because you perceive that law as being acceptable ... does not mean that it SHOULD be acceptable. It's not about left or right. It's about what IS right ... and who decides that for children?
And are you aware that it was Christians who agreed with the barbaric operation of circumcision for girls? From the book … GORY DETAILS … ADVENTURES FROM THE DARK SIDE OF SCIENCE … author … ERICA ENGELHAUPT
Although clitoridectomies are most common today in a broad region across Africa and the Middle East, many people don’t realize that the surgery was once more widespread, and was also employed in Victorian England. A successful surgeon named Isaak Baker Brown, credited with developing many gynecological surgeries, touted clitoridectomies as a cure for masturbation.* In his book On the Curability of Certain Forms of Insanity, Epilepsy, Catalepsy, and Hysteria in Females, published in 1866, Brown offered among his instructions that “the clitoris is freely excised by scissors or knife—I always prefer scissors.” Eventually, the Obstetrical Society of London essentially put Brown and clitoris removals on trial, ultimately expelling him from the society. But the practice lingered for decades, and spread to America. The last known clitoridectomy in the United States was performed on a five-year-old girl in the 1940s.

Although this United States Supreme Court judge is now deceased, words from her book live on.
From the book … My Own Words … author … RUTH BADER GINSBURG. Whether you are a Christian, or an Atheist … you better think hard and long, as you close one clinic after another … in the pretense that it protects “babies.” The lives of women are at stake here, and they are the lives of your mothers, daughters, aunts, friends … and even grandmothers.
Then she made a point, nowhere addressed in the Breyer opinion, but embedded in the memories of women old enough to remember the days when abortion was illegal: “When a State severely limits access to safe and legal procedures, women in desperate circumstances may resort to unlicensed rogue practitioners, faute de mieux, at great risk to their health and safety.”
(Later speaking with a reporter, she was blunt about the law’s purpose: “It seemed to me it was a sham to pretend this was about a woman’s health” rather than about making it harder to obtain an abortion.)

Thankfully this Jewish Supreme Court Judge (now deceased) could not be mislead or intimidated by Donald Trump … as were … and ARE the Christian judges.
She knew that what does not breathe on its own … which is the case with fetuses … could not BE murdered … and that the lives of the women were/are … of the utmost importance.

The term should not be "political correctness." It should be "polite correctness." The word "political" makes the "government" the focus, and the supposed culprit of all the dissention, whereas the word "polite correctness,” puts the responsibility where it belongs, which is on the individual. Should we not always be asking ourselves, "Am I being polite, or am I a big part of the problem?" It was not the government that enforced a law that the “N” word had to stop being used. It was those of the black race that rightfully complained that that was derogatory, and they wanted people to respect them by using the term “Black race.” Now, in “polite” company, people use the term “Black race.” The government has never forced people to either use words, or to stop using words. As civilians, we monitor our own language. And if a citizen feels forced to use words that show respect of a certain group, then that person should take the complaint to the Supreme Court if he or she feels it is necessary, but we should not blame the leaders of the government. Concerning language, when it pertains to likes and dislikes, they are just ordinary citizens.

We can be thankful right now for the two-party system ... but if Donald Trump wins the next election, there will be only one party, and it will be the party of Donald Trump ... period. Anyone who would dare to disagree with Donald, would be disposable.
During his TV days, Donald claimed that the Emmy awards were rigged, when his show The Apprentice was beaten by The Amazing Race. So it was hardly surprising, that when he lost the Republican Caucuses in Iowa in February 2016, he said that Ted Cruz cheated, and should be disqualified.
After that, Ted Cruz became Donald's political puppet. He was afraid of what Donald would do next to ruin his career and his life.
If Donald were to be voted in again, it wouldn’t be long and other Republicans would also be Donald’s sock puppets … and be forced do everything Donald's way … or be fired.

Thanks for honoring free speech
Donald Trump breaks laws ... so that he can make them over into his own image.
Had Hilary Clinton or Kamala Harris encouraged rioters to attack the United States Capitol, as did Donald … there would have been hell to pay for them. But Donald (as a sore loser) got away with attacking the very Capitol he PROMISED to protect when he first became the President.
There shouldn’t be any question that by the end of his first term as President ... Donald Trump ruled OVER the Supreme Court judges of the United States … and that in his second term in office … ALL new laws in the United States … will be DICTATED BY Donald Trump.
From the book … Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court’s Drive to the Right and It’s Historic Consequences … author … Joan Biskupic. When lower-court judges ruled against him or his policies, he suggested he had only to reach the Supreme Court to prevail. He understood that his approach to Supreme Court appointments mattered to the public. “The Supreme Court was one of the main reasons I got elected President,” Trump tweeted midway through his term. At the time, and throughout his first full year, Trump was unconcerned with sending the “wrong message.” He mocked norms. Unlike some leaders in the legal arena, and many law professors, none of the Supreme Court justices referred in public to Trump’s provocations. They said nothing when Trump attacked Judge Curiel as “a Mexican” who could not be fair, or when he denounced Judge Robart and others who ruled in the travel ban cases.
Perhaps it was difficult then to imagine how Trump’s words and deeds would affect public regard for the rule of law. He was so unlike any other American president. He was never chastened, never regretful. And in his first year, there seemed no penalty for what he said or did.

I suggest it is everyone in the United States (including Republicans) that should be afraid of Donald Trump.
Republicans in office laughed at the idea that Donald Trump could become the President. However, once he became President and started firing them, they realized it was no longer a laughing matter.
Donald Trump was just using the word Republican to achieve his grandiose scheme of making the United States government over in his own personal image.
I had respect for both Republican and Democrat Presidents, that in turn had the utmost respect for the United States Constitution ... but had and have absolutely no respect for Donald Trump, OR for his radical supporters that attacked the United States Capitol.
If Donald had won the last election, by now there would only BE the law of Donald Trump, and that would make Vladimir Putin very happy, because he perceives that Donald Trump is a very inexperienced politician, that HE can use for his own AIMS.
Those of you who wanted Donald Trump to overthrow the government, wanted to be the ones to also overthrow the government, so that you could dictate to others the new set of rules.
Don't deny it ... because that is what you were, and are, thinking. You liked his bombastic style, simply because that would be your style … if only you had the power.

A messy government is where there is more than one party allowed. The politicians police each other, and bicker back and forth to try to win elections. What a wonderful system. In a dictatorship, there is one man that rules, and you follow his "advise," or meet a swift end to your lives. Do not KNOCK the government in the United States. It is good, BECAUSE it is messy. Of course it's not perfect. The politicians have to try to appease a whole lot of spoiled people, who all want only their own personal laws to dictate the lives of others. I live in Canada, and no matter which party is in power, I am thankful every day for the treatment I receive, and by the way ... I live in a trailer, in a trailer park. When you want too much, you might end up with someone in power such as Donald Trump, who, with his slick tongue will promise you anything ... just to get your votes ... and then WATCH OUT.

Donald only cares about your vote. He didn't care one iota about you. If he cared about his followers, he would have wanted to PROTECT THEM from being incarcerated ... rather than encouraging them to break the law that he KNEW would cause them to be incarcerated ... and have a record ... for attacking the Capitol.
Do you think that Donald CARES about the harm he caused them? Do you think he visits them in prison, and thanks them for their support?
Several of Donald Trump’s followers were incarcerated for their involvement in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Here are a few notable cases: John Sullivan, also known as “Jayden X,” was convicted on numerous charges, including felony obstruction of an official proceeding and civil disorder. He sought to “incite violence” and “foment anarchy” during the attack. Sullivan had different political beliefs and was perhaps the only defendant who showed up at the Capitol despite not subscribing to the goals of the protest. He received a six-year prison sentence.
A Trump supporter assaulted law enforcement officers with a Trump flag and used a giant Trump billboard as a battering ram during the Capitol riot. This individual was sentenced to 46 months in prison.
Another Trump supporter, who attacked officers while wearing a “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” sweatshirt, received a 12-year federal prison sentence.
In total, nearly 1,000 individuals involved in the Capitol riot have been convicted or pleaded guilty. These cases highlight the legal consequences faced by those who participated in the violent events on that day.

The first President of the United States, George Washington,, under the question, Party, wrote, Unaffiliated. I suggest that Donald Trump also should have stated Unaffiliated under Party, because he didn’t have any intention whatsoever, of following Republican policies. He wanted to rule supreme with a heavy hand all his own making. The writing was on the wall, when Republicans became terrified of being fired if they dared to state their own opinions that, in turn, disagreed with the opinions of "the Donald." I suggest that had he won another four years, there wouldn’t have been any laws, except the laws that Donald dictated. And the problem is, some Republicans still in office that don't want to lose their jobs, are terrified that if by chance he were to win the next election, they would also be fired if they dared (now) to go against him. It takes brave people to stand up against such a dictator.
