OT: The Worst Presidental Canidate
shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
I didn't think it could get worse but maybe it has. Jill Stein. Simply ripping off Bernies platform but taking it a little further.
1. She would not have killed Bin Laden but instead bringhim here to put on trial.
2. Capture terrorists and put them on trial for crimes against humanity.
3. Forgive $1.5 trillion in student debt.
4. No fossil fuels by 2030.
5. Drastically cut defense budget and pour it into education.
Yeah, great, all these are awesome in theory, but who's going to pay for all this shit? Opera and Howard Stern? Damn for just one day I wish I could live in a la la land and actually believe my fantasies are true!

If you believe the news today Hillary will probably be dead by November anyway.
Hillary's health will probably be a major story going forward. Both candidates are pretty old and should release their health records.
Jill Stein is about as dopey as Ben Carson. pseudo-scientists. Bah.
Ms. Stein's platform is pretty hard to get behind to say the least. She practically makes Mr Sanders look normal in comparison, IMO !!
WRT the college thing. I'd rather see secondary education (grades 9-12) get revamped so that "high school" is now "college". For people not wanting that track, maybe fork them out or filter them out into vocational trade schools. That's the only way free-coillege makes sense to me. 4 years of high school was a waste. I always felt school was too slow until I hit college anyway. Sink or swim.
The problem is not only too many people trying to get into college, but there are too many colleges, period; especially the for profit college corporations.

NO, these are terrible ideas in both theory *and* practice! This is like that hoary old platitude "Socialism [or Marxism] is great in theory but . . ." NO, socialism [or Marxism] sucks in both theory and practice. Socialism is an attempt to achieve heaven on earth, what the old National Review conservatives called "immanentizing the eschaton". Bah!

I do though want people to vote for Clinton so that Donald Trump cannot win. But after that we can work at state and local level to push things in a more progressive direction.

Governments first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the law-breaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave it, not by how many are added.
By the way it is HIPAA. It isn't a violation if she okays the release.
Trump may be worse.

My take is there isn't a single presidential candidate worth a damn this year but of the 2 that have a chance of winning the anyone but Clinton mantra comes into play for me.
We need Clinton to win, so we need her health to hold out and we need to be there to vote for her.
Our society is based on the premise that we can waste the talents of most of our people, like industrialization and automation make our people unnecessary. We need to learn to see through this and start making ways that our people's talents will be used.
And by the way in the organization I am building, everyone will be involved in life long supervised independent study. We will do our best to fix it so that everyone will be getting undergrad and grad degrees for this through an accredited American institution. And the cost for this is very little. But no matter, everyone will be doing it. Most of it will be book learning. But not all of it as not everyone takes well to book learning.
