The boundary commission in England is currently redrawing several parliamentary constituancies which will likely give the ruling Tory party extra seats so I would include the UK in the flawed democracy list.

I think you have a point there. I have a friend with a hybrid Lexus and it appears to start off purely on battery power then the engine cuts in.

If humanity could get past religion and politics, what do you think it should focus on instead?
Hages comments on Nov 7, 2020:
Space travel and colonization.
Moravian replies on Nov 7, 2020:
The arrogance of humankind. The long term aim is to gradually inhabit planets or even artificial satellites further and further away from the solar system so that when the earth is burnt to a frazzle there are humans to survive and perpetuate the species. Better to let them die off with the planet.
Why was the popular vote so close in the US presidential election?
KevinMR comments on Nov 5, 2020:
The most important issue to most people is a strong economy, and before COVID it was perceived by many that Trump deserved credit for it. Now we need a rebound and they aren't convinced Biden could lead it. IMO.
Moravian replies on Nov 6, 2020:
Borrowing money to give tax breaks is going to give a boost to the economy as that money is spent but it is detrimental in the long term. Unemployment had reduced slightly under Trump until Covid struck but they would probably be mostly zero hour contracts in retail and the service industries.
Today's Hike: Golden Northern Larch and a personal record.
Moravian comments on Nov 5, 2020:
Great photos. I would love to visit the area sometime. Great to see some natural woodland still existing. Hopefully now Trump will not now be able to desecrate it as he is hoping to do in Alaska. I think I mentioned this before. As an arboriculturalist i was interested in the "northern larch"you ...
Moravian replies on Nov 6, 2020:
@LiterateHiker Yes as the article says, the two larch species found in Washington are Sub Alpine larch and Western larch. The Sub Alpine being confined to the higher slopes obviously. The range of Tamarack is further north and east. Deciduous conifers include all the larches plus a few others including swamp or bald cypress. Northern larch is not a species and must be a local name to describe any larch sp. Golden larch is native to China and would not be found here.

France is paying for it's colonial past compounded by the interference in the middle east and north Africa by western govts.
Moravian replies on Nov 1, 2020:
@Spongebob Yes , I take your point but the main reason France has so many Islamic immigrants from North Africa is due to their colonial past. The majority of them are model citizens and the French authorities are handling the situation badly. For example stopping the sale of halal food is ridiculous. The young man who killed the school teacher was from Chechnya and the latest one from Morocco so to come down hard on the French Muslims is counter productive.

@Spongebob Good point. I really admire the Vietnamese in how tolerant and welcoming they are to westerners despite the French occupation followed by the US invasion and the atrocities they carried out.
What do you feel about the news that Jeremy Corbyn has been suspended from the Labour Party, ...
Petter comments on Oct 30, 2020:
Corbyn is not guilty of anti-semitism. He is anti-Israeli, a very different matter. Israel's treatment of Palestine merits condemnation. It is, unfortunately, instigated by fanatically religious individuals. That is the whole problem with all Abrahamaic religions - fanaticism. This is a bad move ...
Moravian replies on Oct 31, 2020:
Well said. The following is from a friend who is an activist in the labour movement and the Palestinian situation. The Labour party have always taken this antisemitism scam seriously. Consequently they are over a barrel. The Zionist lobby will always invent an excuse to call Corbyn a Jew hater (There was one complaint that he put a German pronunciation on someone's name, therefore he was antisemitic and vile man: honest, I have not made that up. It was some actor who came out with that repugnant crap that was never called out for the pathetic, nonsensical smear that it really was.) Stamer is shitting himself everytime the latest antisemitic scandal hits the headlines. So, Corbyn is going to be expelled: he hasn't got a snowball's chance of surviving this one which was always going to come for him. An honest politician - which is a very rare thing - who virtually from the cradle has been against racism of any form, has been hounded as a despicable racist. The saddest thing is that people believe it. Says it better than I could.

Jolanta comments on Oct 29, 2020:
I always thought that the way the votes are counted in the US is just absurd. Surely it is the people's votes that should be counted not on a state basis.

Sheep are known to move to higher ground at night in winter where it is less cold so they are not as stupid as Trump supporters.
