The Patriarchs Are Falling. The Patriarchy Is Stronger Than Ever.
Can the electrifying power of #MeToo be harnessed to the slow slog of building a more gender-equal society?The Republican party has gone bad.
It was founded as a party for the loot of the Confederacy
but found itself hobbled by the heritage of emancipation.
The same heritage haunts the northern Democrats.

Trump is evil.
He knows better than to practice sadism.

The Most Expensive Mile of Subway Track on Earth
How excessive staffing, little competition, generous contracts and archaic rules dramatically inflate capital costs for transit in New York."An elephant is a mouse designed by a committee."
The Metropolitan Transport Authority is a political body.
All politicians have inlaws in need of incomes.
A banker is a politician.

When Your Happy-at-School Son Becomes a College Dropout
And: a reliable roommate who bails on plans, meditation-induced meta-anxiety and books to delve into during a recuperation.Originality of creation was the principle I was taught at school and at home.
Originality is nearly impossible.
It requires profound schism.

2 Officers Suspended Over Handling of Call After Abuse Victim Dies
Police officers responded to a disturbance at the home of Tonie Wells, 22, but left without investigating. An hour later, she was found dead.The history is unclear to me.
Mr. Wells is very probably guilty of murder.
The police behaved incompetently.
Stupidity kills.

Virginia Voting Mess Was Never Supposed to Happen After Bush v. Gore
The state produced a guidebook on questionable ballots after the hanging chads of the 2000 presidential race. But it’s now facing a similar problem.The situation is unlikely.
The probability of a past event is unity.
The Republican party has lost in any case.
If the drawing takes place I want to see both the chosen and the unchosen content.
