Who doesn’t completely admire this man, if for only his sheer humility?

As a tutor, I essentially teach. If I have a kid in front of me who wants to learn math/science or any of the humanities, I’m pretty effective.

But occasionally, I come across moments where I can open up that mind and get it to look at life and learning on a grander scale. In those few moments, I suppose I could be called Socratic, thus flattering myself.

Do you think this will change American lives for the better? If so, how?

Rewriting the U.S. Constitution will take some work, as I’m sure you’re aware.

What does the most affluent state in America need in its next governor? I’m pretty sure it not a Trump supporter.

Yes, we have traffic, which we hate. But that’s because everybody and his dog wants to be here for our economic opportunities and our natural beauty.

In general, we reject racism, ignorance, corruption, and environmental destruction.

I can’t swear that the content of the meme here is accurate; in fact, most affluent Scandinavians I run across admit that they pay higher taxes than Americans.

They claim that the attraction is that they aren’t forced to live among uneducated slobs where people are dying of treatable diseases with masses of impoverished people living on the streets.

Isn’t there something to be said for that?
