@Willow_Wisp You couldn't trust Nixon, but he never said you couldn't trust the Government. Reagan said it and from then until now the Republicans have over sold it. Nixon did sign off on the EPA and started dialouges with China and Russia, but he also signed off on making it legal for the medical industry to make unlimited profits and waited too long to get us out of Vietnam. He was very intelligent, but he was also a paranoid geek. Reagan was a puppet like Bush Jr. and Trump. The Republicans love puppets. We have had one Governor in Texas who wasn't puppet in my lifetime and that was Richards which is why she lasted one term. I don't know about John Connelly. I was too young to know.

Sticks48 replies on Aug 16, 2021:

@Willow_Wisp So true. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and other neocons sent a White Paper to President Clinton explaining the need to invade and control a Middle Eastern country, one with oil, to have more control in that part of the world. I never bought into 9/11 being a legitimate reason for invading Iraq. We got Bin Ladin with a small force. We never needed a mass invasion anywhere over there. I think the more we quit messing around over there the less they will mess with us. This is for them to sort out. It is not like they are going to quit selling us or other nations oil.

They tried it once during the Clinton administration and the outcry was so loud they chickened out.

I got B+ in her class, which for me was a really good grade. My favorite teacher in college was an English Lit teacher. I wish l had had even one good history teacher. Those should have been really fun classes and they were horribly boring. I love history, but did not really get into until after l got out of school. I have no idea what algebra was about or how l got through it, but l did. I am glad to hear you are a teacher who thinks outside the box. It tells me you are a teacher for the right reasons. Bravo to you.

@Gwendolyn2018 Thank you. I had a feeling with your background and being one of the people here who I think of as one of the more intelligent people, you might have some insight on this subject. Like your grandson, if I did not find a class interesting, sometimes due to the teacher more than the subject, my brain would just not engage. I never had a history class I enjoyed. If it had been about cause and effect I would have been engaged, but it was always about names, dates, and locations. Boring!. I failed geometry by a point my senior year. The teacher passed me anyway. He told me he knew I wasn't stupid, but he knew I just had no interest in the subject. He could have forced my into summer school, but didn't. I have always appreciated that he recognized the problem. Thanks for your long winded response. :)

@Gwendolyn2018 I couldn't figure out why I would do good in some classes and had to fake my way through others. I knew I wasn't stupid. I am also ambidextrous which I found causes me to go back and forth from my left to my right brain entirely on it's own. According to a study I read ambidextrous people tend to struggle at math, which I did when the math went beyond basic math. Later I figured out I have some sort of ADD and I suppose the Ambi thing contributed to the ADD. School was not the place for me to learn. I have a natural curiosity for many things, but I have to find out about things on my own, my way. My father would be appalled at what is going on now. He was very knowledgeable and heavily involved in politics. sorry I got long winded. :)

You have no fucking idea what my ancestors or even your ancestors did or what terrible things some might have done which has nothing to do with either one of us.

@mcgeo52 They don't really go after pot smokers in these states any longer. They might in some towns, but not many. That certainly is a savings though. Unfortunately here in Texas we have a booming private prison industry that would not like to see this. While the big cities in Texas don't waste their time with pot smokers they still do in many small towns and rural areas, and they are a big part of the state.

Stupid people are always angry believing their lot in life is because the government or people of color have screwed them in some way. Republicans figured this out and have used it effectively to keep these people angry. Talk radio in the 90s showed them how well this works. Air America, the liberal radio network failed because intelligent people had no reason to call in everyday to air their grievances. They had much better things to do with their lives.
