Even if it's is a state/local issue, we need urgent action to do something about this

Take care to understand kissingerists, is a must. They actually wield power, and they are very cunning, and can be very effective.

No, its historical analysis. Chomskyists are few in numbers, and unlikely to vote, period. Most of them are incredibly privileged and mostly just but-ackutalllying actual movements of change, and don't care if they actually succeed. They just want attention.

Chomsky was a blowhard on politics, who's influence on politics doesn't really extend past collegiate debate floors. In the real world, its such a nothing tho. No one has to contend with chomskyism. It can just be ignored.

Kissinger was in fact a war criminal, but that changes nothing of what I said. He was highly influential in politics, and racked up some pretty big Ws that changed the course of the cold war. Kissinger's legacy, including people operating under "kissingerism" must be dealt with as a force.

That said: Don't engage with the Chompsky-types directly. You have nothing to gain, and everything to loose. Try talking over them, to the people they are trying to reach. That should not be that hard as they aren't as potent as people think.

Kissinger, and Kissingerists have been a central fixture of US political life, since the man him self was Sec of State. Reading "A World Restored" should be at the top of reading lists for many reasons.

Chompsky fans don't engage with the political process in anyway that is meaningful, and its best to not engage with them if absolutely possible. Its impossible not to engage with Kissinger and his legacy.

Completely disagree. Kissinger was secretary of state, and competent. Also a far better author. Chompsky sells cope to rich weirdos. You can safely ignore him. Neither him, nor any of his followers, nor his ideas hold real sway on anything that matters.

I don't like them per se, but I like the fact they showed up. So anyone who says Bernie Sanders/AOC is a far left radical communists, I can direct them to actual communists, and they can make the difference. All of a sudden, Bernie and AOC are the now reasonable moderate people.

Traffic Cameras are ultimately a far better idea that traffic cops. This is what Europe does. It works well. You get a ticket in the mail.
Traffic Cameras don't smell phantom "burning marijuanna" and then go on a phishing expedition.

If you go to the press about computers, speak slowly, and without jokes, metaphors or anything else that could be misinterpreted or misunderstood by a simple mind.

So, you need to record the sale if you don't want to get swindled. That is the basis of owning land is registering it with the government in exchange for government protection. If you don't, no government protection, thus you don't have ownership rights.
