Joe Weinstein: We should distinguish between practicality of using hemp as fuel long-term as part of a sustainable future, versus what to do in the short term to reduce greenhouse gas emission rates.

Attacking people who are already paranoid is leading us down the war for more violence which may lead to another civil war.

Don Clennon: I’m glad that LA Progressive sometimes gives the platform to center-left centrists (CLCs). If nothing else, they can sharpen the thinking of committed leftists.

The current meme is that it is kind of racist to think otherwise: that these were simply the typical easily led low information voters influenced by the media and corrupt politician hacks like Clyburn who abused their trust.

Mark Dempsey: Where would the population get the dollars to pay taxes if government, the monopoly producer of dollars, didn’t spend them out into the economy first?

COVID-19 is probably much less lethal than SARS, but Trump’s tweets attacking everybody who tries to create a plan for dealing with it won’t work, and neither will Pence and company saying to trust in Jesus.

Martin Herriman: I was amazed at the hospitality of the people and their spirit, and the sense of freedom everywhere.

Ron Rodarte: Recall the need for a “New Pearl Harbor” to open the NeoCon theater of conflict later termed “The War on Terror”. The Sarajevo Event is the key to stoking conflict in a geopolitical area.

Joel L. Parkes: While my long tenure in one grade and subject limit my perspective, I can say that far too many students, black or Latinx, arrive at the seventh-grade reading at a second- or third-grade level.

Billy Goddard: I don’t know how to proceed with individuals who believe Trump is a kind, moral, honest, and truthful person, and that the French Revolution was just a natural unavoidable event.

Jack Dresser: A strong third party could defeat our corrupt, murderous, psychopathic duopoly, but not as long as dissent is scattered and diluted.

Jim Thomas: The chaos and enmity among these forces is not produced by good faith disagreements about how to best serve the people.

Jim Thomas: The two parties are also united on the economic policies which we call Neoliberalism, which have caused the greatest disparity in wealth in the history of this Country and have destroyed the middle class in this Country.

Dick Price: As a recent veteran, other program members would frequently bring newcomer Vietnam veterans to me, if for no other reason than to show them that sobriety was within their reach and wasn’t nearly as onerous as they feared.
