We need to take some of the blame for abdicating the educational system and not demanding more from media

Agreed - hard to see problems in the educational system once you've moved through it without much problem. The worst political problem I had was with grade pumping competition with community colleges. Transfer students with artificially high GPAs were known to be infiltrating en masse. The University solved it, but in a very subjective way. It had a racial component, but only because there were so many foreign transfer students involved in what had to be an intentional run-around.

With the media, my demand for more starts with a demand for less from the worst offenders. It's creating a parallel media. That is a great start. Defunding the "corporate governance" sources for the false media, or at least exposing them, will be another great start. The number of Pfizer ads is telling. Federal governments should not be funding NPR or CBC.

This is my problem with conciliatory politics: It leaves no room for choices. You can't make corrections if there are no choices. It is such a shame that Ranked Choice Voting got installed in my state recently. It puts an advantage on pandering politicians and rewards outright lying by those who present false conciliatory promises.

Interesting how the Three Fires People had a political alliance of three, and made it work for a thousand years. The first NATO - "North American Treaty Organization", so to speak. (Still thinking of a Clive Cussler style hook for a book plot.) Message 33706668 "Early Norman Christians believing in scientific thought flee persecution in Europe and travel to North America - meeting and blending with early Asian inhabitants until their initial settlement and alliance becomes myth - only to be awakened by a new encounter with French Jesuits sharing the same basic beliefs."


Interesting spelling variation: Saguenai. I've seen that ai ending before... emuseum.history.org
