Certainly they were flawed, they were human. Yet many of the ideals were of an enlightened nature (i.e., "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," religious freedom, etc.)




And similar ideals existed in England. England would make its own progress toward a more enlightened society and would even ban slavery before America did. It also did so without a violent civil war taking place in any of its colonies.

There was never any need for The Revolutionary War to break away from an empire that would become just as enlightened as America ever was. America breaking away from England was more about the political empowerment of a few white men in this country rather than any important advancement for a country.

A big problem in our politics is that much of the main stream mass media seems to believe that their only job is to expose the public to ignorance and bullshit on an equal footing with knowledge and truth and simply allow them to choose which they prefer based on which they like better. That all that really matters is whether ignorance and bullshit can enable some doofus to win an election and not whether he is right about anything.




Seems to what I can remember of the election the Ignorance and Bullshit came from Hillary's camp. Too busy being busy and attempting to hide the fact she was 'Fragile' to actually work to gain the 'TRUST' of the voters. ALMOST a dead heat as to numbers in popular vote, a WHOLE 2% difference that did not come to enough to push the EC to her side and she LOST. Based on incompetence, quoting she would 'Continue BHO's Good Works' that were all but worthless or useless.

Anti EPA head Scott Pruitt and Trump last spring put forth their turning over the methane control law as it "burdened businesses." A federal court stopped it(CA) but it will be back on the table this year.

Regardless where the ignorance and bullshit comes from the media will tolerate it and put it out there as being equal to knowledge and the truth. That's what the media does partly in an effort to appear unbiased. The only time it will take on something it considers false and wrong is when it believes it has the overwhelming majority of the American public on its side as it does in its crusade against racism.

In contrast to the way it has handled the issue of racism it has acted as if both sides have an equally good position on the abortion issue because that issue divides the country with about half the population on each side. The media has a very high tolerance for bullshit just as long as it is popular bullshit.

You do realize Katie YOU release methane as do the sewage treatment mechanisms we have, the dumps we have, open and NOT mined coal seams, peat bogs and ponds. How in the hell do you propose to "Control" those aspects? They speak of diapers and masks for cattle, are they really that foolish? Waste holding ponds for farms do NOT stop the releases, it actually gives rise to higher levels of release as the waste sits concentrated, that in aspect to control the runoff of nitrate from animal wastes, then there are other conditions as oil and gas wells, the reason they are placed is due to METHANE in the ground that is known to seep out!!

Re: How Trump Ate America


Belching cows may be able to emit less methane if their diet is altered. The Cosmos flower, Leuceana leaves, and a type of red algae are being considered.

"When the researchers tested a species of red algae called Asparagopsis taxiformis that grows off the coast of Queensland, Australia, they found it reduced methane production by more than 99 percent in the lab. In addition, it only required a dose of less than 2 percent to work effectively. Upon digestion, Asparagopsis produces a compound called Bromoform (CHBR3), which interacts with enzymes in ruminant stomachs and halts the cycle of methane production before the gas is released into the atmosphere."
