I didn’t agree with everything OC had to say, but he gave a few points to consider. The audience, likely very liberal, seemed to enjoy the conversation. Discourse matters. When discourse dies bullets fly. I think many of us see a need for improvement. The technique is the issue.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.

That's not something you get over.

31.4% of eligible voters picked the winner. Less than one-third. It’s easy to despair, but remind yourself that two-thirds of Americans did not chose this.

The late night comedians make fun of all politicians of any party. If you are an easy target it is because you are not using informed, evidence-based policy. Be best.

Wikipedia is about as straightforward as it can be. We all have biases. Humans contribute to the wiki. Through the push and pull we find a center of sorts. Facts don’t care about your feelings.

Yo, get Maryland in there. We’re not part of this insanity.

I’m an independent, not a Democrat. President Carter deserves to be honored. I want to see the flag at half-mast. Boohoo for the man-child narcissist.

Just a reminder. Many of us Yanks voted against this. Voter apathy allowed the worst outcome. Don’t put us all in the same basket.

As a professional land surveyor I’m trying to decide whether to laugh or cry.

A key part of the blockchain is a permanent record. Most crypto is more traceable than dollar bills. Crypto needs intelligent regulation, not ham-fisted responses in either direction. It is inevitable as the Internet was. Let’s be smart about it.

Shopping carts are gone. People fighting over and cutting through parking spaces. Long lines. Xmas madness has started a week early.

As I’m deleting all my X/Twitter accounts I see I started Twitter on 4/19/2009. 15 years and all that was left was disappointment after E.M. destroyed it.
