As shown at left, there are nations whose policies towards education are such that young people are actually encouraged to graduate from college. Voters in these countries believe that their societies will be better and stronger if their citizens spend four years reading the world’s most important books, learning to write well, coming to understand science, and asking themselves the great questions that have been troubling humankind since we lived in caves.
The truth about the Unites States, and this is the case in so many areas of human endeavor here, we simply don’t care. Whether it’s education, climate change mitigation, women’s rights, gun laws, or the disintegration of rule of law, our leaders are leading us nowhere.
The drawing here reminds me of a conversation I had with my mother in the early days of 2GreenEnergy when she saw that my focus had become an ongoing effort to improve the wellbeing of all the planet’s inhabitants–now and into the future.
She asked me, “Why don’t you just live your life?”
I explained, “This is my life.”
“How can there not be a way to make him legal?” a citizen asks.
Sadly, this is what being a conservative is all about in today’s America, i.e., you think abuse is fine, until it impacts your own life.
I agree with Joseph T. Stegall at left, but the main reason Trump needs to face justice is for the good of the country–and the entire world.
If Trump dies a “controversial figure” rather than a vicious criminal, the United States will never recover from the drubbing it’s taken on the world stage and the incredible amount of harm that’s been inflicted on the American people.
Moreover, failure to prosecute Trump would set the stage for the next sociopath to come along and take us down every further. Keep in mind that the next guy is probably not going to be as incompetent as Trump.
