Re: trump off the CO ballot
The conversation is going in a lot of different directions, so I won't try and pick up every thread. There seems to be a sort of unifying theme, though. Sure it may seem like things are ok, but behind the scenes, nefarious actors are going to lead to our doom. Well, if that's the case, I'll go there...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
I don't see the world (for civilization) lasting much longer without a more global outlook. If we're serious and have any sense of ethical behavior, there neeeds to be a minimum standard of living. I agree....but.... Do we have a better standard of living today, or when you were a child? I don't me...

Re: trump off the CO ballot

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Is it bad enough to say that we aren't a democracy, because some people 250 or so years ago came up with a system that has some cracks today? I'm not seeing it. "Some cracks" doesn't even begin to describe the problems with American "democracy". I think you;ve been overly influe...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Little while ago you said: I can't say I know much about Bolivia. Well, yeah. We have google now. A few search terms took me to the State Department and to Human Rights Watch.

Re: trump off the CO ballot
US State Department doesn't care for anti-plutocratic, left-leaning politics, surprise, surprise. Human Rights Watch isn't too kind to Bolivia, either. https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2024/country-chapters/bolivia?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwudexBhDKARIsAI-GWYVt6FhTxEK1Vx4Jm2UyvoC-z3ZuyJxuLGFLV...
