  • The Clintons are toxic...

    I share your take on Clinton toxicity. In spite of their technical and tactical competencies, and even their accomplishments, they lack core integrity. In pursuit of short-advantages, they regularly spin, distort, mislead, and condone unethical behavior. That is corrosive to society.

    They are untrustworthy. I hope enough people catch on early enough.

  • Maggie says,

    "In Massachusetts, where there is no mandate, over 200,000 of the Commonwealth’s uninsured have refused to sign up."

    Other sources I've read say that Massachusettes does have a mandate. Consider this in today's NYT article, for example:

    The experience in Massachusetts, which has enacted universal coverage with a mandate that everyone obtain health insurance, shows how difficult it is to force everyone to comply. About 20 percent of people in that state do not have health insurance even with the mandate.

    And this in the Wall Street Journal:

    "You can't put in a mandate until health care is affordable," he says. He predicted that a Hillary Clinton administration would wind up exempting 20% of the uninsured, or about 10 million people. That is the percentage of uninsured adults who were exempted in Massachusetts, the only state to try an individual mandate."

    What do you say, Maggie?

  • There's a systemic problem with Christianity -- and other religions -- that yields it vulnerable to "injustice, greed, war-mongering, environmental plundering, vilification, cold-heartedness, racism, bigotry, violence, torture, and fear."

    That's faith by appeals to authority. All to often, authentic learning ends where faith begins.
