Why make a post viewable by everyone if comments are limited to friends? ;)

Just limit the comment to friends. That is okay.

You can oppose and fight ideas and beliefs while being kind, without dehumanizing others, and while avoiding being rude.

If you can do anything, be kind. Whether you do or not, I think that says a lot about you.

Feelings, as we know are valid.

Many feel the USA has failed them. We don't want negative responses response to them, do we?

I think we need to be, and act, better.

I adore my children and am proud of the young men they have become.

They are smart, personal me, and respectful.

I still worry every day.

Heien v. North Carolina.

A mistake of law can justify a traffic stop under the Fourth Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion, joined by Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas, Ginsburg, Breyer, Alito, and Kagan.

Justice Sotomayor got it right. I mean, she dissented.

I like this, and I wonder why business leaders don't keep prices down rather than getting accolades for philanthropy to organizations rather than helping the average person by keeping prices low.

Respect. βœ”οΈ

They don't offend you or make you feel anything. We do that to ourselves. πŸ˜‰

I'll say it again. Want to affect change? Follow science and engage, be civil, and find common ground to change closely-held beliefs. Otherwise, you really aren't helping change anyone's beliefs. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Everyone says you have to vote (and in NC recently, you realize how 1 damn vote can sway an election), it matters. But trying to change closely-held beliefs, in the scientific method suggested, isn't going to be done "because" (1) they won't listen; (2) it is a waste of time, ...

People...

Telling people what they should have done to stop "it," whatever "it" is, when there was, literally, no chance that them doing anything that actually would have changed anything... πŸ™„πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Nobody writing these pieces mentions ... a lot of things. If you point out the easier things, point out, at least some, bad things too.

Let's not forget the 1970s through 1990s mortgage rates, even in double digits.

Now, if a nonprofit ran this and promised no more than 10% net profits to find more of the same, I'd be on board.

We can have a position on any issue, but we should accurately describe facts, as they generally are silly determined.

If one has to SPIN it, maybe they shouldn't be trying to sell it. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Many are thrilled when imperfections and weakness for "them" is exposed.

I'm guessing it is a good thing all of our own imperfections and weak moments aren't out there for everyone to see.

Be kind. Work to improve society and not dehumanize others.
