  • Trust them to have basic human decency, trust them to not invade Canada, trust them to rigorously oppose a criminal regime?

    As George Carlin said: "Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders."

  • No, the "the work load for me a person with a life to live is unreasonable especially in a age of sealioning" excuse. If you had a more narrowly phrased question, that would help. But in the name of good faith debate, I'll point you in a starting direction. Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revanchism, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irredentism, then type "Russia's Imperial Ambitions" into a search engine. When Putin was a boy, the map of his country was bigger than it is now and he wants that land "back".

  • And fewer people in the decision making processes. Being farther right then Democrats, they believe in a smaller, more exclusive ruling elite. Liberals believe in Rules but Right Wingers put their faith in Leadership.

  • To me, kilometers and miles are in a similar class; I don't have a reason to prefer one over the other. Same with kilos/pounds. Even though a kilo is more than double a pound, it's used to measure the same kinds of things. As with Centimeters/inches, quarts/liters, yards/meters.

    Metric seems to do better at measuring very small things, or very precise things, but lacks middle measures that help with day to day life like Ounces and Feet. If there was a metric foot, like a quarter or third of a meter, it would be more useful. Same if there was a metric ounce, lets say 25 grams (an actual ounce is slightly over 28 grams).
