“Are you kidding me? The purpose is to find the truth, not hide it. Damn the consequences. Call all the witnesses anyone wants. Stop the partisan finger pointing. We act like children and should be ashamed of ourselves. Our political success isn’t dependent on one person’s success or failure. If i…”

“Why do our parties exhibit oppositional defiance disorder? The only reason to deny climate change is because you’ve taken a position against it. Just agree with the other party, science, and reason, and move on. We don’t need the two parties to disagree on every single issue - and there are so man…”

“No one was able to answer how they would work with Republicans. THIS IS OUR MOST URGENT CRISIS. We need someone to have a plan to destroy our position-based psychological trap created by parties. WE DON’T NEED PARTIES! It’s the mistake of Democracies everywhere. We aren’t using the system correctly…”

“This is too important to draw decisions along party lines. If you’re using “partisanship” as an element in your reasoning, you’re wrong. Our politicians needs to explain to the American people how our government would normally investigate wrongdoing by its own citizens (not asking a foreign governme…”

“Please restore information to the EPA site. Taking it down is a bias political move with unethical influences. What is the value to society in deleting or hiding information that’s widely accepted as fact by those nearest to it? Why is that responsible? If it’s truly arguable, have the validity s…”

“Can we have an informed national conversation on the long and short-term pros and cons of immigration? For example, are we going to be competitive in the global market in 100 years versus a modern China and India that outnumber us 4:1(guesstimate) in population? This shouldn’t be about how we “feel”…”

“Our interpreter’s father was kidnapped and murdered by the Taliban because he was a Minister of Education for the district. These are great people trying to improve their country and have made tremendous sacrifices. There is no reason to deny them a visa if they decide the risk has become too great.…”

“I think social isolation is an understated factor in school shootings. Our society offers fewer socializing opportunities than most. We are spread out in suburbia. Socializing requires an inconvenient ten to thirty-minute drive. Most other societies are more dense and clustered in walkable communiti…”
