Rich - Aside from the clever presentation, the implied numbers were rather staggering. I particularly liked the "negative space" argument about "the number of people who are not dying"... and the way it complements Steven Pinker's arguments in "The Better Angels of our Nature". One might

It is not inconsistent with the free market to observe that while you often cannot change people, you can (ex)change people. Like with those that are eager to become citizens. Surely conservatives would not argue against free markets! Sent from my iPhone On Nov 6, 2016, at 9:37 PM, Nick

Pamela, People do a lot of silly stuff when they talk about whether animals suffer, as if some kind of death is something that could be avoided. But speaking as somebody who studied animals for 50 years, I am pretty sure that gluing a mouse to a board and throwing it in the garbage causes

Dave, I think you are dead on concerning our attitude toward “the deplorables” . We need to know more about them and be prepared to find common ground. Without taking anything away from that agreement, I want to question your last sentences about the “elites.” As a term of contempt,

If Trump were to win this election, the number one reason is the insistence of democrats and liberals to demonize and marginalize the populace supporting Trump. If the only people that support him are "angry" racist" "xenophobic" "out-of-work-white- men"
