| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 13466 | This is at least the third time EB has posted the breaking news that Biden’s approval is now below Donny’s. Yet, looking at FiveThirtyEight tracker I check whenever he posts it, it’s still not true. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/?cid=rrpromo “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

EB and I prefer the term 'knowledge keeper'. You too could become a knowledge keeper if you let us train you. The term "Knowledge Keeper" or "Traditional Knowledge Keeper"refers to someone who has been taught by an Elder or a senior Knowledge Keeper within their community.

But all they know of are the OLD WAYS. The world is changing. No thanks, you guys can sit back and yak about "the good old days" while the rest of the world moves forward.  |

Things really do not change, just the scenery. When you bother to learn and analyze from history you see that people are the same 1000 years ago as they are now. They operate the same way, are motivated by the same things. If I only I had $1 for every person who went broke saying "IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME!" War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Maybe they are talking about Carfentanyl? Supposed to be 100x [?] stronger than fentanyl? "Carfentanil is one of the most toxic opioids currently known, with studies showing it to be 10,000 times more potent than morphine, 4,000 times more potent than heroin, and 100 times more potent than fentanyl." The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Perhaps, as to our fundamental "human nature" but that isn't the subject; the subject is politics. The choices and laws enacted by our political leaders most certainly do provide for change. Consider FDR's "New Deal" for example: massive change from the "old ways." Or LBJ's "Great Society." Civilizations have risen and fallen due to political decisions. Also political leaders most definitely can cause people's attitudes to change; consider how Hitler convinced many otherwise intelligent Germans that his policies were correct; or for that matter consider the change caused by (ahem) Donald Trump. |
