No one asked or possibly cares, but here's my view from our
couch:
- Hunter Biden and Donald Trump should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of
the law. And as quickly as possible.
- It's no coincidence that (Joe) Biden announced pardons for marijuana
possession on the same day leaks appeared about charges being considered
against his son.
- Joe Biden is doing a great job...and in 2024...should give his full support
to someone/anyone else...other than Kamala Harris. Even Bernie or Pete, but I
gotta believe we can do better.
- Flying immigrants to Martha's Vineyard is a win-win, as long as those being
flown are told the truth.
- I haven't heard a cogent argument for how trillions spent on either war or
the space program are better uses of tax dollars than improving our schools.
- Teachers are badly underpaid. Our goal should be to have our brightest minds
want to teach, not work for Wall Street or Madison Avenue or as defense
contractors.
- Tenure should be banned.
- Corporations are doing all they can to make unions popular again, even with
me.
- I try to avoid cliches like the plague. At all costs. Like my life depends on
it. Literally.
- On 90% of the issues, Republicans and Democrats want the same results. We
just have different approaches to achieving those results.
- I'd rather talk with someone I disagree with politically than someone with
whom I agree...as long as they can speak rationally and listen as carefully as
I try to.
- It's okay to be against abortion, regardless of the reason. And just as okay to
be able to get one in the most dire of circumstances.
- In most cases the impregnator's opinion should be taken into account as well.
(I'm not sure why I never hear anyone else say that so I am likely misguided.)
- The Phillies have a better-than-acknowledged (but less than 25%) chance to
win the World Series, and will have an even better chance next year with Andrew
Painter in the rotation and Trea Turner leading off and playing shortstop. And
hopefully, finally, a reliable closer.
- The Eagles can win the Super Bowl this year, but they won't. This is the
Bills' year.
- The Sixers can win the NBA Championship, but they won't. If they are healthy
next April/May/June, they should at minimum be favored to go to the finals
though.
- Undefeated (so far) Penn State won't get into the championship playoff even
if they beat either Ohio State or Michigan, which are both unlikely.
- The Flyers really aren't even worth watching. I'd rather they just get a top
5 pick in the next draft. Of course, I don't think hockey in general is worth
watching...even though I played weekly until a few years ago and worked for the
Flyers for over 20 years.
The only opinion here that everyone will agree with is that no one will
agree on all the opinions above!
