you may be right,but ACA is the one thing you can say he definately got done, for good or ill. And IMHO that is the thing to watch in 2017. Don't let it just become another government bottomless pit. And just for fun, those us us that are right wing nutcases are also enjoying watching the DOJ treatment of Hillary and also the IRS. Cuba and Iran although today are quite unpopular should have been done a long time ago. I go by the 80% rule. 80% of all Cubans and Iranians are just like me and have the exact same problem of 20% running their government.
I really appreciate your comments. I'm starting to appreciate Obama. Especially before the elections this year, which will probably be a choice between two evils.
whatever, 80% of Iranians are just like me. They like their old time religion. It gives them strength when everything man does fails. But the world works on money. I've about given up watching on the 3 channels how politics works. But if you switch the the Science Channel, you will see and hear Milton Friedman explaning how things have so far always worked. Not much difference between light and algae. You need both of them to keep the thing going. Too much light, too much algae. Too little light, not enough algae. You need both in balance to keep it all going.
We are having the centenary of the Irish rebellion. Now here is an object lesson for all leaders of how not to suppress dissent. British troops squashed the rebellion by force. The leaders were caught and executed. End of story the Brit leaders thought but it wasn't. The cause has continued up to this day. Exactly the same is happening in Turkey. Ankara tries to put the Kurdish rebellion down by force. It won't work. It would be much better all round if:- 1. It had never been allowed to come to force being applied. The UK has learnt this valuable lesson in the case of Scotland. Gave them local govt and now tax control. For Turkey it would be better imho of having a friendly neighbour than a civil war. Obvious really ! 2. If force is decided on then it has to be applied brutally and totally as the Russians did in Chechnya to have any chance of success.
