Politics is not about truth or lies it is about power. There are very few people you can trust when it comes to politics. So your best bet, just trust yourself.

What freedom do you crave?

@LizzyStarrrdust Rightly sized boobs that look awesome!

You don't trust the government but but you're AFRAID of your neighbor because they COULD own a firearm. Ya'll need to think on this a bit.

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

Here's a point I hope everyone wanting to change or repeal the 2nd Amendment to the USA constitution will consider: the Government who you want firearms restricted to is the same one that you can't trust with Flock (surveillance) cameras.

@BskiMike22802 As I aged, law was passed that established drinking ages at the Federal level. Incoming soldiers & sailors could fight, die, vote, get married, sign contracts, go drink in other countries, but not have a beer after hours at their home port or duty station.

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

@BskiMike22802 I do. When I joined the military States were raising the drinking age. On base, I was allowed to buy any kind of liquor at 17. It was emphasized to me that I was responsible for & would be held accountable for my actions.

I read freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.
I don't agree w/ that.
Freedom & responsibility are connected by an immutable bond, freedom is only had by being responsible. The Land of the Free & the Home of the Brave must make responsibility it's #1 core value.

@LizzyStarrrdust Oh, oh, I was gonna say "a politician"

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

So, 2 politicians from opposite political parties have a meeting that doesn't involve mercenaries. Good grief! They might actually discuss an issue! Why do we read this crap? I guess so we can make fun of J-school grads.

@LizzyStarrrdust If something is "right" or "wrong" it inferres there is a standard to measure against. Is that standard absolute or socially reletivistic?

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

There is a lesson to all of this. I believe that lesson is that learning from an example is better than learning from someone's memory. It's an interesting question that I believe encompasses principles of micro and macroeconomics.

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

What's more important, people or history? I just watched a video of a historical videographer concernedthat some historical sites are repairing problems in historical ruins by placing concrete bags in the distressed areas and letting them harden over time and look distressed.

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

I believe the most important lesson that we learn from history is: We, as a species, learn nothing from history. But as individuals, we can accept that if we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat the same problems.

@LizzyStarrrdust @teachrobotslove Micro-blindness. I can't see it so whether it exists or not is immaterial to my…needs, ends, desires, goals? Even though it's the discrete beginning of everything. Who cares it I think therefore l am? I see it therefore I can control.

@LizzyStarrrdust @teachrobotslove Many times they have an imagination that can't conceive what's in the drawer. Is the cat dead or alive?

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

Most people are so narrow minded it shouldn't be surprising they are incapable of respecting freedom.

[Bob Pope @boblpope]

@GadSaad (I)ndividual freedoms are not absolute; your personal liberty ends when it infringes upon the rights and safety of someone else. Similar sentiments were expressed by Victor Hugo ("The liberty of one citizen ends where the liberty of another citizen begins"). (Grok & Wikiquotes)
