News You Can Use!!! Period!

To study issues, requires looking at problems from different perspectives. Open minds can solve any man made problem. Mindless obedience will be our downfall. Stay open, & mindful. Evolution is the solution!!! Thank You Richard for all you do!

May 2021 update

When you mention the great FDR plans for all Americans yet fail to point out how most black Americans were originally left out, you diminish how far we have progressed. And you continue the whitewashing of our history. It appears like your audience should only be the white working class instead of including everyone.
