The purge of academics in social sciences from the State Department during the McCarthy 'commie witch hunts' was a major factor in us getting involved in the unwinnable war in 'French IndoChina', Vietnam. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Finally, someone putting country and people's lives before his job... so sad this Admin is all about party before country.

We should come forward to abrupt cut of 75% of energy and natural resources like minerals for further production of goods and services. Be prepared to lead an ascetic life to save our lives and mother earth. Climate change is now felt in serious state.

Which would you prefer, 600 billion a year being spent on healthcare or climate change to change the temperature.0002 tenths of a degree over 10 years? I choose healthcare.
