Thanks for writing this out. My only comment is this: it's a touchy subject because while you are describing one end of the spectrum, the opposite end is almost always applied for those struggling with ADHD - "Just work harder! You'll get over it"

There's definitely a healthy balance of smart lifestyle choices, coupled with medication for those who truly struggle and need to just get from zero to 1.

I mean I don't think that was the idea back in 2003, maybe I'm naive.

I think that's just the nature of government. If a large enough force acts, it's very easy to tear down such an abstract system.

Free speech is a complicated issue. Ideally I would like to see groups like this banned, but I can see how that can lead to issues with who says what content is ok and what isn't.

It's 100% okay to not be completely informed on an issue! If anyone is accosting you for that, then that's not okay or constructive. I'm not asking any more than that you be understanding that when our freedoms are under attack, ie currently, you are willing to make a choice and not complain because a lot is at stake.

I tire of centrists, among chaos, claiming everything is being politicized.

I'm sorry - once in a while bad things happen and a choice must be made.

You sound reasonable from your comment :) hahaha

I think it's great to challenge people, and honestly a candidates reaction to a hard question is probably one of the best indicators.

Imma have to disagree with you hard on the first paragraph haha. Rock became oversaturated and stagnated as a genre, I'm not sure the clothes had much to do with it.
