and this gets me wondering; what could we accomplish if we took 0.2% of the time we spent writing (let alone reading) internet comments, and instead used that time to engage in our state democratic processes, and help update our public school education standards to build a robust civil society!

my high school made sure I knew how to use both a band saw and a stand mixer; why not a courtroom? that's a systemic failure we could yet address
