I don’t think Ken should be excoriated for having allowed the topic under that condition. Further, the subject is hot. We have just finished an election. Some are elated. Others are pissed. Emotions. Sometimes politics enters. It’s inevitable.

"Politics does have an ethical element" Somebody should tell politicians that.

Lets face it, this blue wave will solve nothing. The voters are mad at the GOP so they went Dem. At some point in the future the voters will be mad and the Dems and vote GOP. On and on it goes. It's between the devil and the deep blue sea. Do you prefer death by roasting or drowning? I for one am sick of the half-truths, lies, rhetoric, hypocrisies and self-serving behaviors of both parties. Both parties have their crazies and radicals. Both are for sale to the highest bidder. "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." Exactly!

People have a history of looking to the government to solve problems for them. I see the same behavior with people and their gods. Governments are self-serving and gods don't exist. That leaves one choice left to do the work. People. Until we accept that the circus will continue.

...announcement above of "NO POLITICAL POSTS ALLOWED".

Let's just see now if the Left's talk of Unity and Compromise was just more hypocrisy and doublespeak now that they control the Legislative branch.

"We still have control of 2 of the 3 branches, and that ain't bad."
