Customer Reviews
Our injustice system has never held him accountable
And it never will. We have an injustice system not much better than Russia or China. We just put different groups of people behind bars. In fact I read that one third of all females prisoners in the world are right here in America, even though we are only 4.2% of the worlds population. That’s staggering!!! We obviously lost (or never had) a lot of rights long before Roe v. Wade was overturned.
College campus protests
You are comparing apples to oranges. Protests for Vietnam and black people sat at lunch counters cannot and should not be compared to the current hostilities in the middle east. In the former 2 examples you are talking about things which were fully controlled within YOUR own government. The Palestine / Israel conflict is beyond your control - by all means, have peaceful protests but otherwise keep out! Concentrate on the HORRENDOUS domestic issues which just confirm how the world sees America as the young, immature democracy that you are!!
Great conversation
This is one of my MUST LISTENS every week!!! Great pod
