These six-pack rings can either biodegrade or serve as a snack for wildlife.

“The researchers suggest that perhaps the women in that part of the study developed stronger social ties, an improved status in the community and more confidence – and thus have a greater ability to negotiate improvements in a violent home situation or are more willing to walk out.“

Former Dean Yale Law: "Each and every Republican who votes for Kavanaugh effectively announces that they care more about controlling the Supreme Court than they do about the legitimacy of the court itself. There will be hell to pay."

As the former dean of Yale Law School, I’m shocked by the judge’s partisan turn.

Every shooting is an unfortunate tragedy and sign of desperation. Thankful that the majority of the targets of this morning's shooting have the best healthcare in the land while they strip others of it.

These days, a degree is mainly just a ticket that allows you to enter the higher paying job market. What would an education system in a sustainable economy be like?

"I see where you're coming from, but I don't think you really thought it through…" Pt 4

To the Progressive Activists / Socialists / Communists / Anarchists /Libertarians,et al
You hold the moral and intellectual high ground, but you are so divided (see your title) you are simply a pawn in the left/right paradigm. They use shifting media coverage to determine who's going to win elections. Before it was Anonymous, Occupy and anti-police. Now the police are getting acquitted, blocking traffic is being made akin to terrorism, etc. You are weak in numbers which means you require solidarity and direction. You have two choices when it comes to the socio-political world which is infiltrate it or circumvent it. I suggest doing both at the same time. Recruit young people who are honestly engaged in your causes, and talk to them about being politicians, attorneys, etc. Also, work with like-minded folks to create a social system that increases the standard of living for every single person in it and therefore does not require a centralized government or the threat of force to run it. This will mean looking for reasons to connect over philosophy, as opposed to arguing about implementation (especially since you don't have the political power to implement much yet).

"I see where you're coming from, but I don't think you really thought it through…" Pt 3

To the Liberal "Establishment"
The fact that the left tried to play it safe and elect a person without an actual platform (her only meaningful ideas she stole from Uncle Bernie) is what lost them this election and will lose them the next one. Let me repeat - if you back a fake progressive (or a closet Republican as we saw in this case) when there is a viable progressive candidate, the Stein/Sanders crew will stay home and do what George Carlin used to do on election day. The Gary Johnson crew will vote for Trump, if they can find their polling places (none of them are in Aleppo, so they should be ok).

"I see where you're coming from, but I don't think you really thought it through…" Pt 2

To Hillary supporters
Anyone who wants to be President this badly, with this many shifting positions and the propensity to talk down this strongly to her potential constituents (e.g. deplorables, super-predators, etc) cannot be trusted. I don't care if you've voted Democrat your whole life. She's just not the one. For those who say Trump is much worse, I get that, but there's got to come a point in time where we make philosophical decisions as opposed to political decisions and they should be based on what we want, as opposed to against what we don't want.
