Well-researched, well-thought-out, well-said: Well done, sir!

You nailed it; you have been at this a long time, I can see. If only all of us were as rational, logical, and reasonable as you! Yet that's not the hand we were dealt: We must work with the downside of the bell-shaped curve. They, too, are human, but less educated, less informed, and with lower IQs (not trying to be condescending here, but it's just a fact of life). Feeling frustrated and angry and goaded on by very effective propaganda from both domestic and international sources, they are wreaking social and political havoc throughout the land. We're in a difficult spot. Failure may not be an option, but it is a possibility. Thank you for trying to prevent that. Keep up the very good work, sir.

Americans have devolved into fat and phony and religious: wellness is just gluttony and sloth revisited. 256 million Americans are entitled to vote but only 158 mil do vote so the outcome is meaningless. In addition, since it is the Electoral College deciding the results are even more skewed. Without Compulsory voting; no EC; and campaigning funded by public $ for FIVE weeks only we will continue to decline.
