3. I agree with Biden regarding advancements in science and technology.

As far as the kind of leadership the GOP has offered, I sincerely don't want anymore of that and we are working away from that 'leadership' model daily.

The best form of leadership this nation has ever shown has been the increase of civil rights, taking care of people, being humane and protecting the environment.

Some feel, and many have been taught, that the military and financial forces provided our place in the world to do thiose things but that is wrong, IMO.

Their actions are something I've been deeply ashamed of most of my life, despite protesting them. As a citizen, I feel I must take responsiblity for anyway it may have benefited me to any degree.

We have decide which way to go, be complicit or complacent, stand by and criticize, or enter the belly of the beast in order to change it. I see no choice other than the very last one. All others feed the beast.
