Well they wanted heart, not head - hopefullyy I gave a bit of both. (save it, JR)

Gerry Mander or Jerry Mathers?

In reply to Peracles, an exhaustive list.

Don't know if exhaustive but I feel exhausted. Too much Trump, no oxygen for the intelligent sides of our brains. What's our agenda before he defines it for us - it seemed like such a nice century.

Yeah, I will buy into the list. In toto, as it were.

THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS.

Why not?

I really cannot disagree with anything on the list.

But like Lisb noted a few weeks (or months ago) we face gerrymandered districts and governors who

hate anyone without funds, without health insurance, without hope? And the Congressmen who eschew any help to those folks.

Help me through the year for chrissakes, let alone the night.

Peracles, an exhaustive list.

But isn't there some easy way to accomplish all of this by just nominating and electing the right person for President?

Early childhood education and a total revamp of resources going through the K-6 level.

Investment incentives for companies to improve profits while at the same time sharing productivity gains with workers.

Public Education Programs (EL-HI) that make sense (after how many centuries of education?). Programs that are TRULY PUBLIC and pay their educators well. Sensible reforms, like eliminating hardcover textbooks rather than the typical trendy methods and expensive teaching tools that go in and out of vogue, but crank up costs to make profits for BS artists like the Bushes. Oh! And getting rid of the Texas hold on all textbooks, most particularly their take on history and science.

Sorry, I couldn't limit this to a one-liner.

i may be back with more.
