“Scientists consistently say that the purported "dangers" of GMOs are overstated or are outright lies. GMOs do much good, and many of the nice foods we take for granted as being so pretty and delicious include GMOs. A national standard should be in place, and that national standard should be informed…”

“Many of these comments seem to neglect the fact that we have background checks in place for refugees already that have been effective to this point. This is just another hurdle tacked on to an already extensive process to soothe people's fear and stoke nationalism. Recent terror attacks we have expe…”

“I would love to believe that oversight would be enough to combat the extreme inefficiency in intelligence spending. Unfortunately, the leaked budgets from previous years have shown that this is simply not the case. The way we use intelligence money is ineffective at best, and there is little account…”

“First of all, the fact that we are still discussing mandatory minimum sentences is disheartening. Not every case is the same, and the sentence should not be forced to be the same. I also find the argument dubious that claims that 3 more years tacked on to the sentence will deter people who were will…”
