I'm doing my individual part. I think there are enough genuine reformers out there to represent a high single digit percentage of the population.

Yeah, but he wasn't the only chef gooning the soup. By which I mean, don't over-credit any one bozo.

He deviated from the Big Government script how, exactly? I confess to all of the sins of being insufficiently critical and voting for him. Serves us right, the current mess. Now, let us reform.

I guess that's somewhat interesting from a logistical standpoint. And the regional politics of the Great Satan helping out the Saudis have some fun nuance. "Bush believed he was doing the right thing" is probably trivially true, but, again, omits an awful lot of Shiite/Sunni developments.
Which is, again, not meant as anything sort of an apologist play for W. And you can keep the brother, too.

-Women aren't in tech because the STEM world is misogynistic
-I'll bet you are a women's studies major
-Yes I am, what has that got to do with it?
-Why didn't you study STEM?

If anyone's knowledge of history and sense of proportion is so bad as to even put GWB on this list, then go full tilt boogie and say he's worse than the rest, combined.
I'm not here to accuse GWB of being some kind of saint--he was another brick in the wall of Progressive decline, in my opinion--but I've really lost interest in trying to communicate with the kind of idiots who would juxtapose GWB and Adolf.

Politicians don't care and corporations do. These policies will persist until people's lives are strongly negatively affected. Will it require significant damage as a result of foreign powers hacking into the industrial grid? Probably. God knows we aren't in the streets protesting TSA security theater, and its difficult to get more privacy invasive than seeing folks naked.

The ultimate housecleaning, if you believe it's coming, is to be a simple matter of justice carried out by a righteous God.

Power to the sphincter!

Possibly the evidence of a lack of evidence.

Power to the blamers! There is far too much power to be garnered from inflaming (occasionally real, but often wholly manufactured) biases.
But things like the Rolling Stone UVA rape hoax, global warming, GamerGate, &c have blown the lid off what a bunch of cheap hucksters the Grievance Industrial Complex are.
Go back to hell and stay there, creeps.

"'Doesn't carry all the bad PR', fustakrakich? Apparently you weren't paying much attention during the last election," said Mitt Romney.

"Sustainable" is the biggest unintentionally funny concept going. The atomic mokita is that the world economy, itself, is unsustainable. Whatever Ehrlichian silliness you care to trot out is currently in the process of correcting itself using the traditional means: war.
