Yet others are too often given a death penalty with flimsy evidence...A Felon is a Felon and Eco Cide should be recognised internationally: the deliberate killing of eco systems, crops, livelihoods, farmers, villagers. In parts of the world it's already recognised - praise be

Good taste! Keats certainly appreciated nature and all. If it helps raise awareness of nature and its power to sustain/inspire then that has to be good thing - particularly now. His poetry made deep, lasting impression on me at school! Regards

The globe needs a FREQUENT FLYER TAX levied on the wealthier who fly more and thus pollute more. In the Uk the Green Party & Lib Dems advocate for this but Labour and some Tories still deem this type of tax as "barrier to wealth creation" which it's not! It must be mainstream thinking by most...

Democracies need BALANCED USE OF STATE apparatus: sometimes setting limits, boundaries but also protecting & serving all not just mega rich & polluters. Currently too much emphasis on immigration maybe but not setting likewise limits to amount of times you can fly without paying a frequent flyer tax

There's something in that! Yes, extreme views are a bit mad even though dressed up smartly in hyper expensive grey suits. But after a while anger creates vast amounts of hot air, fear, bullying & doesn't help address shared concerns like climate change, high wealth inequality. TOLERANCE

God could be optional, granted! BUT it's still good to have values, wider beliefs. Things like greater fairness, kindness, honesty, integrity. Qualities that help in the everyday no matter what a nation may be going through, qualities that cut through tribalism...

A bi partisan bill is needed to make bribing of voters illegal and also "hate speech" illegal too...see the violence in Florida Sherriff's recent speech. Moderate Republicans are often afraid to speak out for fear of death threats, abuse. Trump thrives in culture of fear, denial, violence.

MAGA = Make America Grotesque Again with tax cuts for mega rich, continued oil burning, erosion of social security & basic rights, bullying & threatening language used publicly with no accountability. Democrats must come up with new, green, fair policy like global frequent flyer tax...

A coup is happening in USA & many more moderate Republicans are afraid to speak out for fear of death threats, abuse. Bribing voters should be illegal & bi partisan law on this is urgently needed. Also: a law on "hate speech" - see recent Florida Sheriff's threats to kill protestors.

MAGA = Make America Grotesque Again: tax cuts for rich, illegal, heavy handed immigration policy, cut social security, ban books, wreak fear, use violent language which threatens, destroy nature, pollute the air, deny rights...bribe voters, censor talk of climate change...

The social contract matters: people vote, pay tax, serve in forces, do community service, do jury service and it's reasonable to expect decent public services, Medicare, libraries in return. States have duty to protect & serve & global frequent flyer tax levied on wealthier could raise needed funds

Musk bribed voters in swing states & so any "support" Republicans/Trump has in those states might well reflect pure greed/financial incentive as opposed to genuine support OF POLICY. Trump's rule/apparent win is not what it seems as the means by which he was elected are dubious. Illegal bribes?

SOME (not all!) Republicans are "pro life" and anti abortion so fiercely that they cannot/will not see equally how climate change more widely ALSO erodes "right to life". Because THAT would mean consulting this same elusive human conscience wouldn't it? A deeply personal thing.
