| Threatening and bullying our neighbors does absolutely no good for the U.S.A. It benefits only Russia and China, by destroying our longstanding alliance with Canada. We need to be on friendly terms with our neighbors. Otherwise, our neighbors will seek friends elsewhere. Trump's behavior is totally ... |

| There's an argument to be made that a "poor person" or person of modest means that gets put up would be totally controlled by much more powerful handlers, and people would quickly see through this kind of thing as just being a mascot of sorts that was in completely out of his depth and be... |

| Psych meds affect different people in different ways. A psych med that is useless or even harmful to one person may be a life saver for others. Maybe psych meds need to be used more judiciously than they are now, but they certainly should NOT be banned. |

| While emotionally I don't care whether anybody obeys the law or not, and only care if they offend my personal sense of justice, I don't think it would be wise to abolish the law. Agreed. Furthermore, the law is one of the few legs that an opposition movement has to stand on in its attempts to count... |

Doing my own thing can, at times, make me feel lost. I know I should be more confident with who I am (punk rock!) but I don’t know.
