3/ The genius of the Right has been to claim the Founders’ vision even while they trampled all over it. The mistake of many on the Left has been to disavow the Founders’ vision even while they sought to preserve it. We can claim the vision without being starry-eyed about the men.

For decades we've been becoming more and more numb. Addictions to numbing agents, the biggest on screen. Numb to violent behavior, numb to aggression, numb to hatred. It's an American issue and it's a world issue. We MUST teach empathy.

Agreed. We've closed our hearts & have been hiding w/in ourselves. Empathy will come 1st through self-compassion for the hurt we're trying to numb. Then if we stay out of our heads & extend that compassion for all who are suffering, we'll create the world we so desperately crave.

Absolutely not because resolving the root causes requires systemic changes which can reduce the lucrative operations of political sponsors and Wall Street... It’s much easier to form discussion committees and pay themselves handsome salaries to implement more useless laundering
