I will keep continue working for change and to strengthen our democracy, as I always have. I knew at 20 years of age (I'm now 72) that this would be one of my major life paths. Thank you for your positive and pragmatic attitude, David. It helps keep me going.

We need an end to the shenanigans of the Republicans and the only way to do that is to increase the number of members of the House to be fair across the country. The Senate too needs to be changed too, but lets start with the House. To make any changes, first we must elect Biden, keep the Senate majority, and take back the House. https://www.amacad.org/ourcommonpurpose/initiative/enlarging-house-representatives

Lots of science requires "placebo science"... up to 60% of anxious people(aka ALL US) are cured by placebo...but placebo can be anything(eg, anger, Fox, MAGA, twitter, etc)

Isn't decades and millions of dollars of "placebo science"(Exposure is required and thwarts any need for placebo?*) a "good place to look" to solve our "gullibility problem"...?

Let's collaborate?

*"FREEDOM FROM FEAR" as expressed by Ms.FDR:"Do one thing every day that scares you."

Wikipedia:"Freedom from fear is listed as a fundamental human right according to The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948. On January 6, 1941, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt called it one of the "Four Freedoms" at his State of the Union, which was afterwards therefore referred to as the "Four Freedoms speech""

While we were sleeping contentedly, we let this calamity happen. Now, we need to act…thank you for defining the situation and inspiring our actions on this holiday week — when celebrating our democracy could not be more important.

David, today I reviewed the suggestions of the American Academy of the Arts who have been promoting a list of changes to our government rarely mentioned anywhere. This is their suggestions for the Supreme Court, but to get there we also need to increase the number of Representatives that were capped back in 1929. https://www.amacad.org/ourcommonpurpose/publication/supreme-court-term-limits

I also worry and even if it isn’t Trump this time the deed is done for future Presidents. I am very, very scared!
