Why? Tax Cuts and Democracy

The Kansas Governor, Sam Brownback, entered office a few years ago with a Plan. Brownback represents the Far Right. The Far Right is a distinct minority, representing wealth.  The Plan akin to the Old Reagan Trickle Down Economics was to have a major tax cut for businesses and the wealthy.  This economic move was said to help create jobs. But there would appear to be a second and to the Far Right more important goal. You should know that the Far Right is against social programs, public schools, medicare, social security, etc.  Why?  Because they end up paying for it. Now not totally, but our progressive tax system is based upon the idea that as your income increases, you should pay more in taxes. Thus the rich, humanely are obligated to help the poor and less fortunate.
Consider the population numbers in terms of the lower class, lower middle class, middle and upper middle class, lower upper class and upper, upper class. In a democracy who SHOULD win based on shear numbers. It will not be the upper classes. You must understand the Far Right fears democracy. They attempt to control it by use of wealth to control the minds of the people that heavily outnumber them.
The second goal of Brownback, was to cut taxes so much there would be revenue shortfalls.  Why, well then the state would be forced to cut back on spending, for example on public schools. This is exactly what is happening in the State of Kansas.
AND NOW WE GET TO THE NEW PRESIDENT, DONALD TRUMP AND NATIONAL TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY(PEOPLE AND CORPORATIONS).
The end result of massive tax cuts for the wealthy will be some job creation AND massive debt that will cause CUTS IN NEEDED GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS including medicare, social security, federal aid to states, etc. Of course the states will have to cut their budgets and the beneficiaries of these CUTS will be the wealthy and the rest of us victims.

Why? The value of the Political Spectrum

Spectrum, "a broad range of conditions or behaviors grouped together and studied under a single title for ease of discussion"(wikipedia). The Political Spectrum is framed by the Far left and Far Right. Actually, it could be said "framed by violence and dogma".  On the extreme Far Left, revolution against the Haves by the Have Nots and on the extreme Far Right, total control by the Haves over the Have Nots. Strangely, in between is a spectrum of freedom.  The ultimate revelation of this freedom spectrum is that as you move to the right, freedom is lost.  "I once had a momentary vision of the future and it was totalitarian."  No freedom, total control by a Tea Party like group. No compromise, only their "truth".  History is full of examples of such dictatorships. They were ended by war and revolution.  Keep your powder dry.

Why? Nuclear Proliferation vs Global Warming

"Nuclear proliferation is ABOUT the power to destroy the future , Global Warming is the power that WILL destroy the future" heaton

Why? the tolerance of intolerance and the rise of dogma

Intolerance is the "unwillingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differ from one's own." 
and thus tolerance is the "willingness to accept views, beliefs, or behavior that differ from one's own."
Dogma is "a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true."  It is supremely intolerant.  I have just described the Far Right of all religions and know that all do not tolerate FREEDOM.  America is based on FREEDOM and to allow a religious dogma to rule the land goes against its very principle.  The idea Of SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE must be the rule, not dogma.

Why? How will the first strike be judged?

I occasionally have an ale for what ails me(apple ale). I think we are baiting North Korea into a first strike, war looms, grimness looms. As I ponder this, and certainly not to draw a Nazi comparison, but Hitler tried to make it look like Poland attacked(struck) first and forced him to invade. Why? Well, historically, he would not be blamed for the first strike. The judgment of history, the attitude of your nation of why you have gone to war were, are at stake in these confrontations.
A first strike may be preemptive, witness Japan and Pearl Harbor and if we strike North Korea first, history may be a harsh judge. But know that North Korea is developing a Hydrogen Bomb. According to experts Hydrogen Bombs are 1000 times more powerful than Atomic Bombs. If North Korea is allowed to progress, there may no one left to lay historical Judgment. And if the spheres of influence of China and Russia are drawn into play, the same concept applies.
There is a theory as to why we have never been contacted by aliens. "All advanced intelligences self destruct". Not to panic, another theory is that "the distances are to great for contact". Now, I think might have another ale or two . Good luck to us all.

Why? Alpha Dogs and "Survival of the Fittest"

I guess, the first question is why do Alpha Dogs think they are Alpha. Alpha definition "being first at everything"(from The Nest). This means you are at the front of the line for everything because the rest of the pack respects you, actually fears you. In the end there are conflicts and competition for the alpha spot and in the wild, the "fittest" take the lead. That is the physically fittest.
But, the arrival modern times and homo saiens has brought a new force to the fray. That force is money. Mammon gives power. Currently there is a chorus of Alpha Dogs yapping and in control of the whites house. Almost all of these dogs have two things in common, being a billionaire and white.
Our founding fathers set up this great nation with a constitution that controls Alpha Dogs through "separation of powers". The problem is billionaires are the most powerful Alpha Dogs in history and are a major threat to the very fabric of this great nation. Incidentlly Kings of old and Dictators today have all been a force which goes against the ideals of this great nation. We are under a great threat. Our very survival is at issue.  Democracy must make a stand.
