As Einstein once said, "You can make it simple, but you cannot make it simpler." <br />2) Agreed - I have it.<br />3) Agreed - I believe that raising the general level of education stamps out dogma. <br />4) That would fit in with N° 2, and in favour of a better mental health care system, so that neither cocaine or SSRIs cripple a nation. <br />5) For the U.S. yes. The system more or less works where I live. Crime rates are lower. <br />6&7) Agreed. I am in favour of the minimum month salary for simply existing without any kind of government overseers (e.g. every man, woman and child should receive $1,000 every month tax-free, and work should be paid for extra).<br />8) Slightly disagree. Not how many jobs they gave to Americans, but how much they re-invested in the world-wide community, be it in the form of medical research, education, jobs, hospitals, care-taking of children or seniors, etc. It shouldn't just be for Americans but for any group of people needing support on the planet. <br />9) Agreed.<br />10) Partially agreed. I would go further and say that the government, the media and the community should do more to recognise and praise academic merit. I would like to see people gush over and wilding photograph, for someone who is traipsing down the red carpet - not for their role as an actress, but for the role in chemical research or medical research. I want people cheering for trophies for mathematics and marine biology, and not for football and music videos. <br /><br />Congratulations! You just qualified for the German Free Democrat Party (LOL) Who would have thought you to also like liberal and laissez-faire?Celeste Neumannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121686507934885254noreply@blogger.com
