Is comprehending things like that a function of degree of intelligence or does it have more to do with the emotional awareness? Have you ever gone to bed and told the folks still there to lock the door on their way out?

What ties some people to what used to be that cannot ever be changed? If you could change it by revisiting it that would make sense. But it is irrevocable and immutable and there forever unfixable irreversible constant. And yet that is where some people live out most of their lives. You are not one of them are you?

Very pro human rights. Very pro working together with allies all over the world. Very anti despot dictators. Very pro American Values (patriotism loyalty financial solvency et al). Very pro honoring and following The Constitution. Very pro the three branches of government and keeping them SEPARATE and IN DEPENDENT. That's what I observe outside the boundaries of Conservatism. What do Conservatives see as the differences/disparities between what they are now and what they used to be? Anyone? less
I know being tall is better than being short. Being good-looking is better than being plain. But what's in a name? Does it carry as much weight as height or looks?

Take not only what you need but as much as you want and give nothing back. A life well-lived? Really?

Then not criticizing means acceptance and support. Silence means assent not dissent. So speaking out loud against evil human snakes is our duty unless we support admire defend evil. It's complicated. What isn't?
