More Pieces of my Mind

We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
-- Albert Einstein

  1. The last word on Hillary: Not many remember the whitewater whitewash, where circumstances regarding Hillary's investment history in cattle futures, the failure of the Whitewater development, Fraudulent billing practices of the Rose Law Firm and many other Arkansas oddities were swept under the rug. Since the truths in these matters were never unearthed and examined by the media, we shouldn't expect these outlets to bring any light to the Benghazi and email server coverups either. We can simply accept, however, that she is who she appears to be; and that her trustworthiness clearly does not rise to the level of rank politician, let alone president.
  2. Our society will be much better off when the narrative of "cop shooting unarmed motorist" does not include the unnecessary qualifiers of 'one was black and one was white'. It's as if those are the only two colors there are; The number of possible colors is infinite, and will be ever more so. We should be focusing now on the issue of officers using deadly force in routine traffic stops. As long as people think it is racism, we'll never be able to address the true threat.
  3. We are told that this next federal election will be about economic inequality. It should be entertaining to watch the candidates insist they are unlike past democrats and republicans, who have collectively been in charge since the Grant administration. If income inequality is the problem, why should either of them be given the reins again? Income inequality has been the law of the land since 1913. Both parties have had over a hundred years to fix this.
