It’s interesting that the countries that have the highest levels of education have the lowest levels of crime.

Some have suggested that the United States deliberately under-educates its people so as to fill its for-profit prisons. I’m not so cynical, but it’s clear that we care very little about educating our masses, and we seem to accept higher rates of crime than our more progressive counterparts.

Nations in Northern Europe and elsewhere around the world are tearing down their prisons, because so few of their people turn to crime. No one is hungry, impoverished, or living on the streets.

We regard the underclass as animals; others regard everyone as a human being.

Apparently, this guy believes that the majority of Americans think poorly of Trump supporters, and wonders if this the message we want to send.

News flash: This is precisely the message we want to send.

I wonder what his doctorate is in.  Filth? Debauchery? White collar felonies?  War crimes?

What Does “Support” Actually Mean?

The idiot’s t-shirt shown here raises the question: How do you define the word “support?”

In a certain sense, I support all countries, insofar as the people living in each deserve to live freely.

As an American, I support the United States.  I revere it for its strengths, while I advocate for remedying its considerable set of weaknesses: corruption, injustice, racism, indifference to human suffering, militarism, and greed.

Stupidity and Racism: A Lethal Combination

BREAKING: Texas Republicans are flailing after a party nominee posted vile racist commentary and refused to take it back.
The firestorm started Sunday when Bo French, the GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, posted a photo of University of Texas football fans, “most of them people of color,” writing that “the problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined,” according to Politico.
The post appeared to target South Asian students and sent Texas Republicans into a panic over the damage it could do “down the ballot,” including Attorney General Ken Paxton’s struggling Senate bid and Abbott’s own reelection.
Before the Republican party aligned itself with rank stupidity, tacit racism was not really a huge problem.  Now, however, we have the equivalent of mixing alcohol with opiates, a deadly combination, which has made the midterms very tough for the GOP–even in Texas.
