Beauty contests aside, have any Republicans offered ANY proposals To:

Improve Employment

Get Corporations Out of Campaign and Government Finance

Make education affordable and available

Climate Change Mitigation

Oh, sorry, EVERYTHING REPUBLICANS STAND FOR IS NOT TRUE!

Muslims are not the target, Carpet Bombing won't work, waterboarding IS torture, etc.
Cutting taxes for the wealthy will do nothing to change employment
it will simply give them more money.
There is a difference between venture capital and capital returns from ordinary stock/bond/etc.
investing, so ordinary investing ought to be taxed at the same rate as wages.
Which will do what the tax system ought to do, reward entrepreneurs (not 'investors' over 'workers').

"Fixing" Social Security is easy, raise the cap on earnings, or, remove it entirely,
and reduce everyone's rate.

Climate change due to humans is real, and accelerating,
and helping to cause the dislocations that will disrupt BUSINESS!
Thought Republicans liked business, since even Exxon has known for DECADES
that Human Caused Climate Chaos is real.

Being "gay" is not a choice. (bi- trans- queer- gay- lesbian -oth- hetero-)
(If being gay is a choice, when did you chose to be hetero?)
If businesses didn't hire them, undocumented workers wouldn't be working,
which is why all the yelling about amnesty for them,
the GOP wants them undocumented to pay them dirt.

They claim to be hawks, with the interests of our Vets at heart,
yet they stop or cut every veterans bill.

Due to their stance on the climate, they are basically treasonous,
since the integrity of the entire world's Biosphere is at stake, I kid you not.

We, the USAmericans are 5% of the world's population, and use 25% of the resources.

However, that's not the worst thing.

NOTHING HUMANS DO IS SUSTAINABLE.
Wake up people so our politicians are doing what's right for US.

There was a time I was ahead of the curve...

I think that this blog, regardless of its future, shows that I am not totally and utterly and distinctly and overtly and beyond redemption when it comes to the internet.

While with IBM, I disclosed a new product to DARPA NET - SNA Fractional T-1 56KB managed backbone in 1986.


So I know there was I a time when I actually was ahead of the curve!


My father was ahead of the curve.


He played hardball catcher and boxed in the Navy. Boxed against a golden-gloves kid and got his ass planted! But, he had the balls to get in the ring...


No, while quite physically coordinated, my father was not a worldclass athelete anytime I've known him.


He's far better known for his original operations research in and
