It's Over
After doing the work I've been doing (don't want to get too detailed on that here) and spending time with children in my spare time (coaching, helping at schools, etc.), and my efforts in research involving neurological health in America I've come to the conclusion that it's over. Probably in my lifetime America will devolve into something like an Ensenada with tall buildings. 300-pound gorillas like Federal unfunded mandates are simply too much for our society to handle with any success. I thought about this again last night in speaking with a friend who's actually trying to reform the charter school system where one of my kids goes. She's reading the applicable laws that are being broken and trying to work with the director to right the ship and I had to explain to her that they won't have any idea what she's talking about, don't care, and probably don't have the resources to do things the right way. She's wasting her time.
I've wasted my time too. I have given lectures to lawmakers that had their heads spinning - data, facts, reason and (dare I say it) a little ethics. I've gotten them to change their votes, something I'm proud of. But the machine is too big and too corrupt. A guy like me is like an annoying gnat.
Neurological health, it seems, is at the center of our problems. Sure, people are uneducated. But A LOT of people suffer from substantial neurological problems. And, their numbers are growing rapidly. Hordes of ranting mentally ill people are taking over in these parts. I have been called to speak next month to a large governmental organization that's supposed to do something about it - to discuss the engineering and infection control ramifications of building large medical faculties for such patients. But, it will be too little too late. An overwhelming majority of boys in my son's elementary school class have neurological problems, and this is a mainstream school. America won't be able to deal with the coming tsunami. No way.
Worst part is I'm pretty sure I know how we can correct this problem. But, we won't. And, unless you are involved as I am, around kids all day, you may not see that there is a problem. But...that mentally retarded news coverage you try to endure each night, that global warming story that won't go away, that person at your DMV or your doctor's office who repeatedly screws up your paperwork or your claims, that hobo camp in your town filled with men in their late teens and 20s...it's the same problem.

Presidential elections are held every 4 years.
This is an average of 12.5 opportunities to be elected President in the average lifetime.
In a population of approximately 350 million, that works out to be a 0.000003571% probability. Granted, Presidential candidates self-select—which reduces the pool of candidates substantially below 350 million—but the claim is that anyone can become President.
Technically, that is a greater than zero chance, but statistically is well within the noise band around zero.
The insanity is largely induced through K-PhD indoctrination that reality is a social construct, reason is a myth, emotions supersede facts, etc. The children are taught beginning in nursery school that mathematics and logic exist as Hitleresque polyogisms, such that we have Jewish Science vs Aryan Science, dark-skinned Kinesthetic Learners vs light-skinned Verbal Learners, and a host of other schizophrenic nonsense.
All of this was funny, when the members of Monty Python were making fun of it with their renditions of rambling sociologists. Now that it is driving legislation and the interpretation of statutes, regulations, and administrative rule, it is no long quite as entertaining.
How many billions will be enough?
It is one thing to tell a resident of the Western Roman Empire that things will straighten out after the Fall. It is another thing entirely to tell him that he'll have to wait a millennium for the Renaissance.
Last year saw cosmic radiation topping all records, this year, NASA finally gave us an update...our shields captain, are now down, 20% from 15 percent 5 years ago, at this accelerated rate, we will be 25% down by 2022.
Will the magnetic poles keep moving, meeting somewhere in the Indian Ocean or stop and go back to once they came...we don't know but with weak shields and low sunspot activity not only is earth vulnerable but every person on earth as well.
At some point, it will make a vulnerable man go crazy, a prone man die, or your next baby a monster or a genius.
Lots of influences for the 7,000,000,000 + people
To navigate. The disgusting waste of money , time and the lack of attention to the remediation of things we can positively influence on leftist causes Like Climate Change. It is a travesty what the great “unwashed” promote.

It is a problem that States are not able to deal with due to its prevalence and the problems it presents how to diagnose and remedy, without ignoring the many "regulations" set by the gov.
Bureaucrats will not touch it. They are incompetent to solve a grave issue like this.
I remember when my mom went expat. She was gone 15 years. When she returned she had one question for me. "What in the hell happened to Americans?" In the 15 years she was gone a notable change had occurred while most of us were sitting here like frogs in a pot of warm water. But, to her it was clear as day. Something was wrong. I wasn't sure then. But, I am now.
Do you really think that 100% of those boys with autism really have autism? Do the drugs make parenting easier?
Just saw one being advertised to boost the poison you are already taking. Funny during the commercial they state that two out of three people on anti-depressants find it isn’t enough. That .333 average in baseball gets you to the Hall of Fame but in anything else it’s a fail.
I take issue with that statement. I think they are very well aware of what it does to society. That is the goal: to "change" society. For us it is harm, for them it is "change for the better".
That "better" is a communist gulag, with the DS in control.
On the role of Soros: the same enablers consider Soros an essential part in their efforts.
Some time ago I asked a friend what did he think of Soros. His answer was: "He is good".
I did not ask him to elaborate. He is one of the brainwashed on the left.
Dahmer , Stalin , and Satan.
One of the posters on these pages was referring to a conversation with someone whom he considered informed and intelligent.
That person insisted that "people want socialism". When the poster challenged him with facts that socialism/communism is not a viable system and there has not been any evidence throughout history that it worked in any country, he replied that "people want to experience it and know how it works" before discarding it.
How do you argue against such an idiotic opinion?
"We have to pass it to know what's in it" comes to mind. It is a modernized version of "Those who don't know history repeat it" - with the exception that WE KNOW HISTORY. Despite the fact of the left's ever persistent drive to change it.
Little Mable Moneybags was a very privileged little girl, who wanted for nothing. One day, her teacher instructed her to write a story about a poor family.
"Once upon a time, there was a family that was frightfully, frightfully poor. The mommy was poor, and the daddy was poor. Their daughter was poor, and her puppy and her kitty were poor. Her pony was poor, and the father's racehorses were poor. The chauffeur was poor, and the butler was poor. The family chef was poor, and the maids were all poor. The goundskeeper was poor, and the yacht captain was poor. They were all frightfully, frightfully poor."
If one changed the word poor to socialist, then one would have an idea of how American 'socialists' view socialism.
