Not taught in grade school is a big lie!! You bet it`s taught in grade schools through certain books and 'suggested' reading and videos, plus how teachers arrange seating assignments!!!

Kevyn, (I don't know why I am responding to a troll like you but here goes:)

Reproductive rights are not a big issue. These rights do not really concern life/death situations unless they are taken to the extreme. Americans are not worried about this simply because they cannot afford to be worried about this.

The Environment is also not a big issue. If we cannot survive financially how can we take care of the Environment. Nature has been taking care of the environment for billions of years and regardless of what man does, Nature will still take care of the environment. So here again, Americans are not worried too much about the environment. However, it would be civilized and dignified to not make matters worse.

Social Justice is not really a great topic either. If our law enforcement, from the Attorney General on down to the district DA's would just do their Job and enforce the laws passed by Congress and State Legislatures, and ratified by the president and governors respectively, then this would be a non issue. But since these people refuse to do their job, "Social Justice" is performed on the street. To stop this form of barbarianism, the local, state, and federal police must enforce the laws passed in Congress and the state legislatures as the law makers intended. The rule of law should apply to all. And no one person is above the law, nor any group. If these laws that have already gone through constitutional muster are applied, then social justice in the streets would not occur.

As far as c*****e c****e, see the section on the environment. these two issues are related, and the same solution should be applied. This is not of utmost concern to the American public.

income ine******y: Whether or not you are in any form of government the people will always have income ine******y. This occurs for various reasons. Business practices, innovation, etc. However, as far as discriminatory practices, most Americans have steered away from racial discrimination practices. However, I believe this one is one of the top issues only it is not income ine******y, it is the monetary system and the economy. So see the section on the economy.

Gun violence and domestic terrorism. This is an issue. As I stated in many posts, no law will prevent a criminal from carrying out the crime of murder. This is a fact! It was written in stone, some 3500 years ago, "Thou shalt not murder", yet murder still occurs. So no law written in stone, on paper, verbally, etc. will stop the needless loss of life. We need a good police force to enforce the law to do that. That brings us to points that some will dis agree on me with.

First, security for ourselves begin with us. We, as a people, must be enabled to protect ourselves. However, that protection should be controlled so it doesn't get out of hand and become ridiculous. For example, "I have a nuclear weapon for security against my neighbor". That's ridiculous. But on the same point, the little old lady trying to cross the street to get some groceries should not be preyed upon by a young man or woman with a gun. Limits of the law are intended to control the will of the people, to keep the people on topic and not jump down a rabbit hole that may or may never exist. By allowing the citizen to defend himself, is a civilized, citizen's way of protecting his community and indirectly the country for those who wish to do harm to both.

domestic terrorism is an interesting subject. What is domestic terrorism? The demonstrations and r**ts of 2020 is that domestic terrorism? the demonstration at the Capitol on J** 6, 2021 is that domestic terrorism? The demonstrations and violent protest at judge's homes and schools is that domestic terrorism? I would say yes to all of the questions I posed in this section. And since I do say 'yes', then it is up to the authority having jurisdiction, to provide the necessary actions required to enforce the law. It is up to the authority having governance over the area to do their job. It is that part of the equation that is missing in today's world and needs to be corrected.

The economy: I disagree with overspending, whether it is I, who overspend; my company, who over spends; or my government who overspends. Any time the government overspends, it costs us, the people, more and more labor in the form of a dollar. The economy of the United States, which was once based on gold, is now based on oil. The pumping of the oil is not the problem, the refining of the oil is.

The Biden administration has failed the American public, in disrupting the industry, simply by stating he wants to shut it down. In doing so the investors of the oil industry want to run, so they pull out their capitol and the operation slows down. As a result gas prices increase. This increases food, and other basic living necessities. This will continue unless, the oil companies can be assured that the industry would not be shut down in the future.

So we have two ideas here, one that is the here and now, and the other which can be debated after the emergency passes. For example, if you are on a ship, and it is sinking, do you care about the environment, or reproductive rights, or social justice, or do you just want to get the water out of the ship, plug the hole, and return to port? Which do you choose?

Fear.
This Administration has put Americans feeling like any moment, a Giant Shoe is about to drop.
Most here on this forum and others that are informed, we saw this coming and see much of what is on the horizon. The difference of being caught off guard vs mentally prepared.
Sadly most Americans, don't know what, why events are taking place.
Food Shortages, famine in the news.
Inflation expected to move higher, at a faster pace, in the news.
Gas Shortages and higher prices in the news
Stock market, housing , rates??? Negative future outlooks in the news.

This is not only kitchen table talk, also Starbucks, Grocery Stores ect.

I doubt the safety arms bill, J****** 6, or midterms are conversation starters because what I'm hearing is a combination of the above.

I left out crime..your right.

In my dysfunctional empty nest it's illness, job stress, children and grandchildren. Me, I just shut up and listen. 😐

Roamin' Catholic Loc: luxurious exile

That's the narrative but I never hear anyone really talk about that stuff.

With whom do you discuss these issues Kevyn?

jack sequim wa Loc: Blanchard, Idaho

Not one thing on your list is the mindless l*****t.

That's a good one: 'Fear'. Fear drives all forms of negative attitudes that develops in to negative actions:

" Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to h**e. H**e leads to suffering." -Yoda, Jedi Master.

Yoda is right. The Fear presented in the G****e F***d, made some Americans angry. Then they began to h**e, and thus, as a result the r**ts of 2020.

Yoda is again right. Fear of the Senators and Representatives lead to anger. This anger manifested in the J** 6 C*******e, and the result of the Committee is leading to great American suffering.

Yoda is again right. Fear of Donald Trump, led to anger, which lead to h**e. This h**e led to the e******n of Joe Biden and now there is much suffering.....

It all stems from fear. Gas prices rose due to the fear of the oil industry being shut down, as a result the oil industry grew angry, which has now led to much suffering.

The only way to destroy fear is with action. The President, Congress, and the Supreme Court need to take action in an American Way, to show the people that we need not fear the government, we need not fear our neighbors, we have nothing to fear but fear itself. So I wonder if Joe Biden, as old as he is, has this kind of wisdom? Apparently not.

See you went, where I didn't. The first hour in the morning, complaining around, those aches and pains. As we get that O.L.D thing, morning is like being the "Tin Man" needing to oil those joints..lol
