@silverotter11 The Republicans were smarter than the Dems. they have spent decades getting people elected at town, county, city, and state levels of govt while the Dems were always concentrating on winning the Presidency.

@Storm1752 A guy getting 75,000 a year in benefits and salary was a lot of money for unskilled labor. I knew people working in an Owens Corning plant in Illinois making $15 an hour for unskilled labor in the late 70s. In Texas at tht time they would have been making about $5.50 an hour. So yeah.

Sticks48 replies on Nov 9, 2021:

@Storm1752 it is that simple and it is about the money. Air America failed because it could not get enough audience or sponsers. If you listened to Rush Limbaugh in the 90s he was a Republican, but he wasn't the nut job of the later years. He had to go farther off the rails to keep up with the other right wing nuts popping up on the radio. Rupert Murdock would have started a liberal TV network if he could have made more money than with a conservative network. In America it is almost always about the money. I grew up in and worked in radio and television before changing to a career in music. I know exactly how it works.

@Marionville l don't buy that either. Playing music makes me happy. I have friends that make me happy. When you get a visit from your son that makes you happy.

Maybe it is the definition of happiness that differs.

@Flowerwall We have always had a lot of stulid and ignorant people in this country. In my over 20 years travelling the country playing music l saw they were everywhere. Before social media they had no way to be in contact with each other. With social media they can reach out to each other and organize. Lacking the ability for critical thought these people have a real problem figuring out the truth in things so they search for those ideas which support what they already believe or want to believe. Dan Rather once said at one time we all got our news from the same sources, so no matter your political affiliation you had to discuss and dissect the same news. Now it comes from many sources and one has to have the ability to figure out what makes sense. The stupid always want to find something or someone to blame for their lot in life and the Republican Party has successfully played on this. Even blaming the government even though the Republicans are around 50% of the government and sometimes more. They blame the Chinese for taking their jobs when in fact it is the corporations sending those jobs overseas. They blame immigrants for taking jobs they would do anyway. If they had the ability for critical thought they would see this. Anyway that is how l see it.

@Flowerwall Being aa politician is a ski set. There are good ones and there are bad ones. The Freedom Cuacus has proved that all the amatures do is fuck it up. John Boehner guit because of those people. He could get nothing through the House. The problem is the average American is a dumb ass who votes against their own self-interest all to often. Health care is a perfect example of this. 49% of the people have double digit IQs. Why do the people of Ky keep sending McConnell back to office. He does nothing for them and continually votes against their interests or refuses to bring things to the floor that would benifit tbem.This is why l don't want most average Americans to be in the House and the Senate. The House has quite a few of those and it is a cluster fuck. Term limits and no corporate political donations would help. Limiting the donations of individuals to a maximum of $1000. Those jobs were not supposed to be careers. Making a law that if one side of the Congress passes a bill the other side of the Congress must bring it to the floor and vote on it. McConnell was sitting on over 400 bills sent over from the House because he did not want the Senate to vote on them. We have a system set up for corruption and humans being the pieces of shit too many of them are wi take advantage of that. No one ever brings up the fact that of the over 160 democracies on this planet not one of them has copied our system of government. There is probably no perfec system government, but ours certainly sucks and l believe is doomed for failure.

Tell me what your utopian world would look like. We just happen to have a lousy form of government which I believe is doomed to fail. The good elected officials have to deal with the system we have. We fucked up when we let those jobs turn into careers. The voters can get rid of these folks, but don't. It is always the other guy who is bad, not our guy, so it perpetuates and gets worse. The Republican run Supreme court had the opportunity to fix the money in politics, which is where the main problem lies, and failed to do so.

Sticks48 replies on Sep 29, 2021:

@JackPedigo The people who are born stupid, and they do exist, will never achieve critical thought. I know people with degrees who do not have that ability with all of those years of education it has to be more than that. They just had the ability for focusing, something which is difficult for me and always has been, and passing tests. I just faked my way through college where l finally decided this was a waste of my time. To me critical thought is about looking at evidence and figuring out what really makes sense. I know some otherwise intellegen t people who buy into conspiracy theories. I in my 73 years l have never bought into or seen these theories amount to anything because l do have the ability for critical thought. Like many gifts people are born with like the ability to wrote good songs, write good books, paint good paintings, or a myriad of other talents, some folks have and some don't. I believe it is the same with critical thinking.

Sticks48 comments on Sep 27, 2021:

Free thinking is not about "cost". It is the ability for looking at the facts or your ability for critical thought, something not everyone has or ever will have, and making a decision based on what you find.

Sticks48 replies on Sep 25, 2021:

@Deb57 l'm sorry. As l said l have seen this quite a bit in my life especially in women in our age range. I was fortunate to have good parents. Our parents divorced when l was 7, but our father taught my brother and me to respect women and our mother was our true friend and confidante, so we always treated women with respect. We didn't always make great choices and sometimes even in good relationships life can get in the way. Some relationships are only meant to last for a time. That doesn't mean they were bad choices. Life can throw a monkey wrench into good relationships and it is no one's fault. Sometimes people change over time and you don't change in the same way. This idea that relationships are supposed to last forever is based on religious ideas and not based in reality. I really only regret my third marriage. I did not trust my gut and that was on me.
