I dusted off my old copy of Erich Fromm's 'Anatomy of Human Destructiveness'. Haven't had a chance to put it away - my ready-reference for Trump's 'hand-picked' and Senate-approved staff/cabinet.

I'm a lawyer Jan, barely know proper spellings. It seems to me that the 'only' place to go when a fellow sentient knowingly and purposefully harms another (in my feeble mind), pathological issue immediately immerge...In Kennedy's case things are exacerbated - lack of academic and intellectualism.

Maybe we've finally found a "port" in which we drop our anchor!!!

I've said it over and over again - I believe there is a 'real' pathological condition that causes this 'sentient' to harm others. It's time to reacquaint ourselves with Erich Fromm's, "The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness"

My view, until the full pathological/psychosis evaluation of Kennedy is conducted and evaluated, the 'science-based' medical research will continue to be degraded. I don't believe that this is simply an intellectual difference. There are pathological issues at work here.

Pathology and psychosis are the first things I think about when trying to understand (evaluate) intent by folks like Bove, Kennedy and others. Are these matters ascribed to differences in my use of descriptive adjectives like 'wrong' and 'different'; maybe even harmful or destructive? I believe so.

I wonder if Johnson is still having nightmares? Will the 'Brits' ever do away with Brexit? Did they ever stop the 'invasion' of brown faces?

Hadn't thought of it that way - but you know what, neither have I!!

Roe v Wade, Citizens United, eliminating Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, and immunity for the President "says" everything you need to know about this court. Trump tries mightily to destroy our democracy, the Supreme Court merely issues a decree signed in 'blood'!

Mamdani's is a 'wonderful' wake-up call for establishment Democrats - Schumer, Jefferies and the rest of the Congressional leadership; and leaders of the DNC, whoever they are. Do we even have a party anymore?

I share your passion (and sentimentality) for the music you've mentioned. I'm an old guy - grew up in the '60's and '70's music era...

Lukashenko is every bit as brutal at Putin; and we're watching the maturation of seeds sown in 2016. That process of 'maturation'/evolution has been sought after and planned. Fortunately for us, the "planners" don't understand the concept of 'critical thinking'-bungling has borne some fruit, however

Sorry for the intrusion - just noticed that you run marathons. I'm 77 years old, just had a knee replacement. Used to run 7 or 8 marathons a year - occasions when we'd train 100-miles weeks....crazy. PR of 2:28 in 1981 - Fiesta Bowl Marathon (cheating - all downhill)...

We'll try to do our part. I'm and old guy but my sons remind me that we 'occupy' the top of the mountain - strategic placing. Live in the mountains of Colorado... I still do some teaching (3rd year law students), but I read a lot. Please, the titles of your books - would like to read...

It's probably incalculable, the damage this poor excuse for a fellow sentient can do to our federal healthcare system in 4 years.

Funny! I've written about this for years. We (Americans) think of ourselves (through deceived indoctrination) as the greatest country in the world - the 'shining city on the hill'. We're some of the least educated in the world. Critical thinking is not part of what makes Americans. What is MENSA?

We don't have friends (of any consequence) left in the middle east. The poor Syrian people will feel the consequence of war, again! Iraq will support Iran and I'm concerned about where Turkey sits on these matters. All because Netanyahu has been desperately trying to stay out of jail!!
