I went to see them at an Austin City Limits taping and there was a problem with the recording, so they did what we all do in that situation and that was a blues jam.

I am against the death penalty not because I feel people don't deserve it, because some really do, but since our judicial system is corrupt, inequitable, and about winning and losing not justice, it should be abolished. How many innocent people have been wrongly put death in this country? It is definitely in the hundreds and maybe the thousands. One is too many. If the crime is heinous enough and you have irrefutable proof, keep them in isolation for the rest of their life.

Yale Study Says Medicare for All Would Save U.

Sticks48 comments on Feb 19, 2020:

Medicare for all would not be cheap for the individual. You would need Part B. Medicare only covers 80%, so you need supplemental insurance. Then there is the deductible. If you are a family of four you have to sign up everyone to individual plans and that is going to get real expensive. Why can every modern country on the planet can come up with a national health care system which doesn't fuck the average person except this fucking hillbilly nation? If I didn't have the VA l would be screwed. It amazes me Americans can watch the government spend trillions of dollars on military equipment we don't need and on unnecessary wars, and lose their shit when it comes to spending their money on health care. We are an ignorant country.

You seem to be looking for a unicorn. Good luck with that. We are not born equal. Half of the people on the planet have double digit IQs, and half with triple digit IQs. Advantage triple digits. Some people are born to be handsome or beautiful, and the rest of us not so much to down right ugly. Advantage handsome and beautiful. Some people are born with great genes and live long mostly healthy lives, and everyone one else is born with one or more of the 400 genetic diseases that exist. Advantage great genes. Life never has been and never will be fair. If it was I could grow bangs. No government can make life fair. They can make life better and some really try, unfortunately our government really doesn't try and never has. Human nature is what it is and no one can change that.

For what reasons do you believe Trump will loose the upcoming election?

Sticks48 comments on Feb 17, 2020:

All Christians do not like trump. That is ridiculous. Registered republicans account for a little over 25% of registered voters. Registered Democrats make up a little over 25% of registered voters. So called independents make up the rest. I have read anywhere from 70 to 110 million eligible voters did not vote in 2016. Most Democrats are self proclaimed Christians as are most Americans. So you think all of the Dems are going to vote for trump. Do you think most Indies including left leaning Indies ( Most Indies are not really Indies. They do lean left or right. They just aren't fanatical about it. ) are going to vote for trump. I think you are way off the mark. It doesn't mean he can't win. It depends on where those votes are located. If it was based on the popular vote, he wouldn't have a chance.
