RFK is right on many issues, though he is a monster. We need to stop being in denial.

It's not true. RFK is crazy, and unethical, but he's right about the heath crisis. Denial is how we got here. Wake up, we need Dems to acknowledge the facts if we're going to beat these monsters.

Hey NerdGrrl, that's ridiculous. She is obviously correct. One reason that RFK became popular is that Democrats denied the crisis in health he is talking about. This brave congresswoman is both honest and on the right track by acknowledging the facts.

Agree 100%

I originally found this book to be too elementary, almost patronizingly oversimplified. Perhaps I missed something important? Making sense of QFT is a worthy project... I'll give it another try! Comments are welcome from anyone who can guide me to the more valuable sections. 🙏
