👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I always ask young people what we as a nation can do to prevent more of these bad things from happening and most of the time I get the responce,” why does it matter what I do, I can’t change it by myself, so why should I try/care” as they slowly become the bystander who watches the world burn. If more peope called in to their local congressman, people might do their job and things might get done.
I’ve stopped watching the news altogether... I follow stations on social media so I do know when things happen but after that I do the research to get a more factual information and less opinionated drama.
I know it doesn't seem like it but local legislators are often more important than their federal counterparts. It's good to see some still try to influence the people who rule our world.
I watch the local news only to get the weather. Don't watch the network news.
You could just grow up in the Midwest and come to understand when mother nature is about to screw you over; that works too. That said, i think you're the most politically observant person i've heard.
Yeah, but they're 4 of the largest cities in america so there's clearly something there. Pretty much anything you can think of, actually. Despite living in a small city(and i say that justly; just under half a million live here), I still live within 5 minutes of a soybean field. Therein lies the paradox of the quad cities.
Gun ban, yes or no?

own predictions...
