Alot of times my customers had no idea of what they were doing, how to use those tools competently and safely - and they paid through the nose when they wrecked them. I eventually came up with a free tutorial class I would put on for the customers to help them get on top of understanding what these tools actually did, and how to apply them correctly (while plugging my other products and services). <br /><br />We tend to scoff at political science - but we shouldn't. Most of us understand the concept of the Overton Window, and our politicos can even move it at will. But well over half of them have no idea about Chesterton's Fence. Many have no clue about your founding fathers and their intents and reasoning. They intend to do away with all that creepy-ass-dead-white-guy and replace it with feelings and victim politics. I believe that people get the gov'ts they want and deserve - and the blame for all this lies just as much with us as it does with them.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391026052555134300.post-64807097981253301822020-08-23T21:57:12.567-05:002020-08-23T21:57:12.567-05:00We are supposed to have a representative form of g...We are supposed to have a representative form of government.<br />We do, but it is not representing US.Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391026052555134300.post-65589311798829606362020-08-23T20:48:26.073-05:002020-08-23T20:48:26.073-05:00It's going this way because literally no one b...It's going this way because literally no one believes we'll ever face consequences.
