If one effort is to get people to think how their actions impact themselves and everyone else, and there are consequences (life threatening or some form of punishment). Then why limit that to just driving. Also, if the issue is an attitud

I wonder if something similar happens with the lines on the road, or crops like corn/soybeans, or even tall grasses.

Fair. But to say something as bold as understanding someone's political motivations, and ideology based on how politicians behave doesn't seem like good faith effort to understand the other side. Legitimate question, would it be

So it's Whataboutism when trying to point out others' hate? Maybe it was a bad attempt, but it was a question to show that both sides are capable of doing horrible things to each other. And that the extremists of any group prob

But where's "with how much more they contribute?" part of the answer? Such as the jobs created?

Do you agreed with 100% of everything that the extremist of the Democratic (>insert proper political affiliation here<) side believe in? I suspect you would agree with most of the core philosophy but may disagree on some of messagin

If I had to guess what OP is trying to say, what is "american", is that maybe you should have been afraid of the government before it got to this point. Which means it's possible to be better prepared by knowing your rights.

I don't have any knowledge one way or another, but is this true? I guess it seems like we can afford healthcare just fine, but allocating money to healthcare/education/etc is a different problem.

Source? My understanding is the 8% would also include people with just family history.

Just curious, but were you ever tested for an anemia or anything?

I think some would argue that you aren't fine if you are on these kind of medications, and "fine" might be an illusion to the patient and their peers.
