Wow!
I am not surprised by results.
I hesitate traveling to New Orleans, Louisiana and now Calabasas, California.
Can you imagine the funding a project of this magnitude cost?
Do you recall if they mentioned the protocol used to establish the choices measured in this poll?
Thanks
Recently declassified documents reveal that James Baker and Bush 41 told the Russians that NATO expansion would not extend beyond unified Germany's eastern border.
Look what you have today.

No treaty signed.
The world changes.

Many U.S. and allied policymakers and pundits counter, however, that Russian claims of a non-expansion commitment are a pretext for Russian adventurism. From this perspective, the United States never promised to limit NATO expansion, with NATO itself declaring in 2014: “No such pledge was made, and no evidence to back up Russia's claims has ever been produced.”
As if that's a bad thing. Still smarting over communism not taking over the world?
to be clear i mean dangerous in terms of likelihood of starting a war with another country.

Are you talking about the pig war of 1859?
I wonder why the US has never taken over Canada? Seems like a no brainer. Increased land and resources. And would take very little effort.

George H. W. Bush, who died on Friday, had an irreducible niceness to him, an appealing mixture of noblesse oblige, parody-begging goofiness, and boy-next-door bonhomie. http://nyer.center manager/2KKnKLy

Eulogies like these perpetuate the notion that no matter how heinous a politician’s crimes, their sins will be absolved upon death and their legacy will be sanitized. It encourages the politicians who prey upon the poor and the powerless today.

George H.W. Bush was a beloved father & grandfather, a war hero, a public servant, & a class act. In my experiences w/ him, I always valued his desire to listen, look at evidence & ask for ideas, even from people w/ different beliefs. My heart goes out to the entire Bush family.

Who am I to judge you. You need to look deep within yourself and be your own judge. You know when you are putting out and when your holding back.
