People will just not accept that blacks, Hispanics and women unexpectedly turned out in large enough numbers to hand Trump the decisive win. All people can do is stick to the rhetoric of the campaign.

The bar association is mainly a lobbying group, and since most politicians are members it's pretty easy to get laws passed that benefit lawyers. The result is an overly litigious legal system that destroys lives instead of creating harmony.

The unprecedented vitriol of the latest election causes people to behaving in a baffled manner. Just as light is trapped in a baffle, election campaigning is trapped in the minds of the public against all common sense. November 13, 2016

Europeans have no way to relate to American politics. They don't understand that there is no labor party. They don't understand voting third party is shunned. But they still know more about American politics than Americans.

REGARDING THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP: Have faith that the founding fathers created a government of checks and balances to make sure no one could threaten the nation. Our forefathers also enshrined our fundamental rights in a Bill of Rights to ensure every minority and individual would be safe from abuse by powers of the government. Finally, please recall the little good done by our politicians, and that reason exists to believe Trump can be better.

If you think feminism is beneficial to women then you ought to consider objectively the men's perspective. I've materially helped hundreds of thousands of women coast to coast and no feminist every helped. They are shallow useless complainers.

Regarding Trumps presidential victory: You should reserve your passions for eminent dangers. We've been wound up for over a year due to this odd election cycle. We have to unwind especially to not let ourselves to be misled by our own passions. - Written the day after the Donald Trump victory

There is a lack of empathy in our nation and the third and second world. Empathy is the deficit that caused war among our species.

When I was a boy we would pick cicada shells off trees and put them on girls clothing, to which they would scream shrill and be upset. Now I wonder, what mechanism was that affecting the girl, for as a boy I know we would just look at it curiously and flick it off.

If I had a simulation computer program with AI capable of reproducing our universe in all detail, then I would make a program to simulate Earth societies on the premise of empathy. If society becomes successfully adequate at empathy there would be no war, no famine, no mean parents, and no meanness to each other. Would some people choose to explore cruelty, even if only to explore empathy. Or worse, because they like it and cruelty is part of the human condition. That is a simulation I want.

Learning the law is like learning chess. Fundamentally, you have to observe the repetition of positions until you master the topic so much you can improvise your own personal markings on the structure of the way things work. It takes a long time to get there, and if you can't contribute something original there is always the piano as a profession.

Writing is a yin-yang thing. You have to wait for something worthwhile for the craft. Wait till you have something to work on, even if others call it procrastination. Then rewrite it.
