ISIL thinks that, if they are killed by a woman, they will not go to paradise.
Trump seems to believe that if he is "shot down"* by a woman, he will not go to heaven.
None of the Republican candidates meet my minimum requirement for being President. I believe that equal rights for women should mean that I can make all my medical decisions for myself, just like men can make all their medical decisions for themselves.
All of the Republican candidates believe that they should be able to make medical decisions for women.
It is interesting to note that health insurance paid for Viagra long before health insurance paid for birth control.
Republicans are VERY protective of fetuses. After the baby is born, they "LET THEM DRINK LEAD."

CORRUPTION IN EVERYTHING
Making some drugs illegal has not stopped the use of these drugs. Instead, in order to import and sell the illegal drugs, drug dealers bribe customs officers, police officers, airline employees, bankers....
These bribes are affordable, as making something illegal means you do not have to pay taxes on the sales.
There is NO WAY that the billions of dollars in drug money can be transferred in cash. Transfers sometimes happen using the cover of artwork, antiques or gambling. It is possible that complex derivatives are used to transfer drug money.
Our late, former Police Chief McNamara said that the war on drugs was ruining many of our young police officers, as they were unable to resist the lure of easy money.
People NEVER react the way politicians think they will react. The naive actually believe that people will obey any law that they make.
Studies show that youth marijuana use goes down when marijuana becomes legal for adults.
Drug users and gun users have a similar reaction to laws against their activities. Gun laws make people buy more guns, and drug laws make people buy more drugs.
IF YOU CAN PROVE A DRUG IS WORSE THAN ALCOHOL, then I am willing to discuss making said drug illegal.

POISONING PEOPLE
Britain has found that Putin may have been involved in the radiation poisoning of a critic.
Michigan has discovered that it caused low level poisoning of the entire population of Flint, Michigan.
Worse, the poisoned water from the Flint river corroded the lead pipes that are still in place in Flint. This means that the lead will continue to flow out of the water pipes of Flint.
People who criticize Putin KNOW that they are in danger.
The people of Flint should have been safe.
Why were the people of Flint poisoned?
The Governor and his minions decided that Flint should continue to be the place where they kept the poor, and that the poor should have the cheapest water possible.
I guarantee you that this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are more poisons in the Flint river than whatever ate up the pipes.

BOYCOTTING THE OSCARS
If you do not go to the Oscars, then you will NOT be on stage.
If you are on stage, you do not have to say anything negative.
You are ACTORS. How you feel can be reflected on your face.
Many of the people running Hollywood act like Donald Trump. They are secure in their power and wealth, and do not want to share either with women or minorities.
But do me a favor, please. Let all the women at the Oscars wear FLAT SHOES, as a demonstration that women can be equal to men if they could just walk a block.
Black and Latino women should wear colors that can NOT be worn by the pink.
Men should wear a poppy, as a demonstration that those who die for this country are often minorities.
This is Hollywood. Make this an issue that will ruin Leo's night, just like he tried to ruin Lady Gaga's night.
To do ANY of this, you must be ON STAGE or online, or on TV. Which only happens when you are THERE to be talked about.

UNITED WE STAND
It is no coincidence that California has a great economy, and that it allows "union shops".
Unions are the best protection that police officers have. Many criminals complain about a police officer in order to get an informed, trained investigator to be ordered off a particular case.
Teachers have the "mother bear" problem. (All parents have an instinct to protect their children.) My friend would have been fired for a normal chemistry experiment, because a "mother bear" parent was frightened. He was saved by his union.
Government clerks can be targeted by citizens with political agendas.
My guess is that those brilliant US Supreme Court Justices have never been falsely accused of a crime. To have your employment terminated due to a false accusation is devastating to the person and the organization. Federal judges do not need unions as they have lifetime appointments to prevent threats to get them fired.
It is worrisome that this union busting is aimed at silencing the unions at a time when corporations are giving millions to PACs.
Charles Koch has been talking about "a sea in which revolutionaries can freely swim".
I believe that revolutionaries want a better life for themselves and their children. Unions are one of the best ways to protect employees from selfish employers. Unions also offer a clear method for dialog between employer and employee.
I have been frightened about the growing gap between the rich and the gainfully employed. Personally, I think that a teacher should be paid enough to support a family of four while being able to buy a home in the district where they teach.
This UNION BUSTING campaign by the selfishly rich is BAD for the society we call the USA.

EXPLAINING WEIRD EVENTS
CHINA'S MONEY
On November 30, 2015, China's currency was accepted by the IMF as one of their currencies. I am NOT an expert in currency trading. I CAN tell you that, if you do not understand international politics, you should not be trading in currency. I can also tell you that China is almost certainly attempting to move toward a free trade currency. This is GOOD NEWS for the region and the world, but it will take time to implement. As usual, amateurs should NEVER try to make money from the currency market.
MARKET PANIC
When news people want you to panic, they tell you the number of points that the stock market dropped. That is because you would yawn if they told you the percentage drop. If you do not understand percentage, then you should not be trading in the stock market.
COLOGNE SEXUAL HARASSMENT
It is totally possible this was done by xenophobic Germans, pretending to be immigrants. Men all over the world harass women in this fashion. It is not a sexual thing, It is a "if you are out in the night, then you are a prostitute" thing. It is meant to keep women cowering in their homes.
Immigrants will be unable to work in Germany until they get lessons in how to treat their fellow persons with respect. At work, they need to take orders from women, from the disabled, from LGBTs and from other minorities. In the US, we find that it helps to have classes in how to do this.
GUNS IN THE US
Every time we discuss gun control, people panic and buy guns. We need to find a way to make people less afraid.
We can start by stopping our stupid, ineffective war on some drugs. The war on drugs is having the exact same effect as prohibition of alcohol. The amazing, tax free profits from illegal drug sales are turning our inner cities into the equivalent of Chicago during prohibition. When we stopped prohibition of alcohol, the violence stopped immediately. We all know what we need to do, but no one has the courage to do it.
None of our prohibited drugs have a worse effect on society and/or persons, than alcohol. Did you know that during prohibition, teachers taught kids that one drink of alcohol could ruin your stomach for life? Heroin, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, magic mushrooms, marijuana, are ALL less bad for you than alcohol.
But it is the violence and corruption that must stop. Therefore the war on hippie drugs must stop.

OILING THE WORLD ECONOMY
Putin really wants you to panic over oil prices.
I am sorry that the energy industry will be going through hard times.
For the rest of us, energy to make heat, to drive, to make light and power, will be less expensive.
This will give the rest of us a much needed boost to our budgets.
Countries like China will be able to make to goods at lower costs. Countries like the US will be able to pay workers more, as they pay oil companies less.
Think of the lower oil prices as an economic stimulus gift to the entire world.
The investment you save could be your own.
