You are my hero. I am going through a character assignation by law enforcement for exposing corruption

There was a comment that was removed but made a good point. I was being too reductionist in my assessment re: lack of decent parenting skills being the "only thing." It's obviously more than that because we learn by what's happening not just in the home but being around other adults when we're children, our peers, advertising (yes, this still impacts us even when we're called "adults"). I pointed this out because I see so many parents who don't teach their kids to think about others publicly.

Saddam who was funded and propagated by the United States Govt., was only scrutinized by the Washington establishment after he invaded Kuwait seizing the Oil fields; then operation Desert Storm happened! America, is not a global humanitarian force for good; every war in US history since Vietnam is directly linked to monetary and regional gain. This same principle is applicable to Africa see "Anglo-American, " also perplexing is why the international community refuses to recognize Somalilland!

Yes, so true. I can't help but marvel ALL THE TIME at the lack of critical thinking skills (distilled down to refusing to look at oneself in the mirror) and lack of empathy. But, of course, this all comes down to what we learn when we're growing up about what's acceptable, what comes with consequences, etc. The only thing I feel can explain this is a lack of decent parenting skills.

I knew that the EPA had a few different people with ties to the private sector, but NOTHING like this. Thank you for this report Coleman-Adebayo and Desvarieux. I am so sorry that Marsha had to go through misogynistic, racist, death threats but so happy that she won and that she's still fighting. I wish that there was a concrete way us regular citizens could help, though...

Hm, I see what you did there with that wink. Nice :)
