 Personally, I can't harden my heart to reject these children in need, but I do think that the present state of affairs isn't working. That's not politics - just living in the real world with a conscience.

Me neither and me too. That said, 2014 was a different time....

I believe that is why your age group is referred to as "The Greatest Generation," and recent propaganda made it seem like we should go back to those times...

We will only address serious world issues once mankind is on the precipice of major disater or extincition

 

We are ON the precipice NOW!   You mention water; the largest single source of fresh water (arctic ice, I'm told) is melting into the ocean.  Maybe de-salination  plants will save us?  But don't settle in New Jersey or Florida.  Minus 1, Minus 2 ... Minus 10 population  growth?  How?  Financial reward for birth control?   What an opportunity for creativity!  But I don't see much.

no one in power is willing to make the hard decisions for fear they will not be re-elected, The people it seems vote on what is good for them not what is good for the country

This statement is not true of President Trump. The only bad thing that would happen to him if he's NOT re-elected (doubtful), is that he'd go back to living in better homes and flying in a more luxurious private jet, and, worst of all the blow to his EGO, which would be the very worst thing.

The wall on the border did not work for the Russians and the wall on the border will not work for the Americans.

Maybe some kind of electronic wizardry llike "drone catchers" with claws.

I totally disagree with this comment. The Russian wall was to keep people IN after cutting Germany in half. Walls that keep people OUT always work.

You can't be serious.

 

This thread is on the edge of a lock anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

No, I'm not serious. But having 14 Kv. of electric wires running on top, keep them in OR out. LOL. Extra crispy anyone?
