The article highlights the warrant and application of Feds is to investigate and eliminate gangs, not the protests. It might end up targeting protestors anyway, but they're using the cover of Chicago's annual summer murder rate sp

Fascinating myth that we all keep telling each other and ourselves that we fully own all our desires and behaviors. Western secular life continues to betray itself as a species of Christianity. European antiquity had no notion of this kind

I would add that human beings consider "social fitness" as well, and are cousin species, Chimpanzees and Bonobos (contrary to the idea they've evolved to be peace-loving 'hippies'), also gang up on the weakest membe

On election night I recall the CNN anchors interviewing voters and getting "He's a straight shooter"/"honest" a whole lot. What's ironic about America is that working class White and Black folk are both we

Yikes, that's embarrassing, could you possibly clarify your meaning? My point was that communicative strategy changes significantly depending on whether you account for the other person also having a perspective which is also a product
