It would take me several years to adequately address your response - even if I had the capacity to do such. But I will try to address at least one point: <<<People often vilify the far left and I always ask what are the crazy ideas on the far left you object to?. >>> I am ideologically from the far left - at least I hope from the intellectual aspect. The problem is that we are not ready to implement those ideas any time soon. Looking for instant gratification can cause more harm than good. The solution has to be long term. By long term I mean over 100 years at the least. We have to improve our education system from preK on up. People like Antonio Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, and John Roberts would have to be re-educated. In the mean time we have to make incremental structural changes.
