The founders specifically built inefficiency into the system, understanding from history that government efficiency was the tool of tyrants. In 1787, the people weren't born yesterday and same is true today.

That Palestinians ever had their own country? That they weren't called Arabs until about 1970? That they didn't start drinking until about 1300 years ago?

You can easily fact check all of this.

Here's a chart that shows the switch of the term Arab to Palestinian about 1970. 2/2

Your a barrister and other professional. You know how to do better because you are trained to do better. But you choose not to. You literally said what you would do if you chose to do so.

Do you disagree that a discussion of the form of the state as I suggested would be solid to include?

This just showed up where I was having lunch. A crowd immediately formed. I couldn't stay but what an opportunity to hear right from would-be rally going clowns. Did talk to one, couldn't get him to say anything specific he liked or wanted, just platitudes and starry eyes.

We rescued a dog we named Zuzu on December 2, then found out soon after that she was pregnant already. Today she gave birth to 4 puppies and is heading to be a mom.

Honest question: With Elon Musk's increasing Henry Ford-strike antisemitism, how does X/Twitter still have an ISP?
