So he is a Harvard professor....big deal.

Merely proves wackos and loose cannons are not excluded.

And who ever said academia was an authentication for anything of substance?

Quite a number actually. In domestic violence situations the abused could fight back and still end up in prison. A weapon should be the last resort not the first. There are cases in which police shoot the wrong person when acting hastily or just plain abuse their position and kill someone for their own agenda. There are corrupt cops, politicians, and many many others in every walk of life.

The 2nd Amendment is important but it should not be the main focus of dialog. Education about how to get along with people and civics should be a lot more important and maybe more instruction about the Golden Rule. I do not necessarily mean Christianity as many religions share the idea of doing onto others as you would have done undo you.

Your ONLY focus in any forum, any subject is your oblivious project that no one will even read. Not to be harsh or demeaning, but have you thought of just staying NEAR the subject? If your ego is that damaged that you need reassurance, then you need more than a forum to fix you.

If you really need vindication, then get with CNM and she will show you have to "get into their heads" to get her attention.

If you are a victim of spousal abuse, then get a lawyer. There are lots of lawyers on here that are full of advice. :)

How was my post about education rather than more guns about my 224 613 Project?

I know people who carry concealed weapons for a variety of reasons-- retired law enforcement, someone with a stalker who got violent, etc. Guns have a use but they are tools that is all. The means in some cases, never the end which the NRA and its followers often make their love of guns as.

And I hate to tell you this but my Photobucket Array now has 20,351 views or thereabouts. I had 250 in one day last week. These are about my almost 26 year 224 613 Project.

CNM actually seems like a nice thoughtful person. And it may be a man. They are some people who come on here just to be mean, nasty, brutish and short tempered. To paraphrase Thomas Hobbes.

What does your project have to do with the subject, Electoral votes? Is there a victim involved?

Come on, MDLNB. You know the project is related to ALL topics, as well as being THE most important item on everybody's mind. You should know that by now!!!

Clinton -- the male one-- did supply me with some documents in my Photobucket Array for this Project. The Clintons were in the White House already eight years during which I was doing this Project. Not too much real effect though except for all the letters that date from when the Clintons were in the White House.

A President does set the tone for many subjects. We do not know what a President Trump will do because 1) he lied his way to the White House for the most part) 2) and is now even changing those lies to some new positions, yet again.

If I were in the Electoral College, I would be quite worried about just Donald Trump will do about any important topic-- abortion, climate change, victims/rights and the rule of law, gun control, and many other topics. All of this touch victims of some kind or another. Murders by guns, birth defects due to poisons in the environment, victims of rapes and their getting an abortion, etc.

Best way to help those victims is to issue them weapons and give them instruction on how to use them proficiently. How many CCW victims do you know?

CCW holders are usually proactive and therefore usually not victims. Passive people are more often victims.

There are good professors and bad ones in my experience.

And angry white men are becoming a minority in many areas of the country.

Are you that blind? like Clinton never Lied! I find it hard for her to say anything with any truth in it. She flip flops all the time, but that's ok in your mind isn't it.

Harvard Professor just want some more Free welfare money from the government studies/Grants (Like how high Grasshopper can jump study for 5 years and millions of dollars) and he knows his liberal democrats will supply it if he keeps the indoctrination going for votes.

Just research the Fact-Checkers. Trump is one of the biggest liars elected to be President of the United States.

Hillary Clinton is a politician and a very smart one at that as well as a savvy lawyer. She certainly leaves stuff out and twists stuff in her favor but Donald Trump just flat out lies to people's faces.

Isn't that to be expected as America continues to have folks of color outnumbering us all in the not so distant future.

And other than the statement itself, was there a point to it?

Academia is not propaganda. I have had professors who did not seem very objective about much of anything but they were a rarity. Hard to get subjective about mathematics, science, accounting, teaching language skills and the like. History, art, philosophy, using a language are more objective but their peers often act as checks-and-balances.

How long has it been since you were in school? A lot has changed over the years. Having had a child graduate from college not all that long ago, I can tell you that it is a lot of propaganda. The graduation itself was so politicized we did not even attend....thankfully our son was not interested in going either. What a shame how things have changed since I went to college, although even then there was a lot of the same going on, just not so blatant as today. Do you wonder why our kids are not the best and the brightest with all the money thrown at academia?

50 years ago maybe...not now. It's a feminized and liberalized place now. "Equality" no matter how low the "standards" have to get is priority...EVERYONE must feel good. Women run academia now. Feminine values anyway.

Whites are being bred out, we'll be the minority in our own country very soon.

They breed like rabbits. 30 years or less and America is gone. We'll be Mexico II.

There's never a point other than we're racists for pointing out facts.

Who takes STEM courses? The Asian kids...some white kids. Minorities/women don't HARD courses. They take the feel good, SUBJECTIVE courses.

Are you surprised they even graduated? The kids now know a LOT about nothing and nothing about a lot. I'm shocked how little they know and are graduating.

It's a politically correct, feminized, indoctrination zone where you're taught to sit down, shut up, and obey.
