The Decision: Supreme Court Strikes Down Affirmative Action

Given the radical Right’s takeover of the U.S. Supreme Court via its political proxy, the Federalist Society, no one should be surprised by today’s decision which ends affirmative action in college admissions. This is certain to produce ripple effects in other sectors of American life as well, including hiring practices, awarding government contracts, etc.

Having heard both sides of the legal argument, as well as contemplating the predictable reactions to the court’s decision, this is indeed a debatable issue with compelling arguments from both sides. Some partisans may disagree with this generic viewpoint, but I find both arguments to have merit. Note that I did not say “equal” merit. But let’s agree that affirmative action is indeed an important issue worth discussing and debating.

My Opinion on Banning Books in Public Schools and Libraries

Children should always be encouraged to read, and read whatever they’re curious about. Because smart and inquisitive children will always find out ways to satisfy their curiosity.

Let’s begin showing the real consequences of our insane national gun policies.

Could horrific images of mass shootings and bloody bullet-riddled bodies possibly spark political action?

The Coronation Abomination

Someone, please explain why in the year 2023 there’s still such a thing as a “king.”

In a nation pressed with severe domestic needs – including a public health crisis – what can possibly justify squandering a whopping $125 million of the nation’s treasury on a “coronation?” This exorbitant cost comes atop the millions just spent on the late Queen’s *11-day* funeral last year. I mean, what’s up with that? I know a cremation service down the street that could have had the whole job over and done in 48 hours for 900 bucks (note-they only take cash). Then, there’s the $110 million this dysfunctional family of inbreds leeches off British taxpayers every single year.

Seriously, why are these preposterous and loathsome medieval traditions of royalty — constant bowing and fawning, mass serfdom, and so-called superiority by birthright — still a thing?

Explain it to me like I’m a clueless American foreigner because I just don’t get it.
