“The F-35 Lightning II Program (also known as the Joint Strike Fighter Program) is the Department of Defense’s focal point for defining affordable next generation strike aircraft weapon systems for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies. The F-35 will bring cutting-edge technologies to the battlespace of the future.”

Lurking behind this perky little PR blurb, from the F-35’s own website, is the void into which the soul of the human race has disappeared.

This is war consciousness: locked into place, awash in money. The deeply flawed F-35, the most expensive military weapons system in history, is ultimately projected to cost over $1 trillion, but no matter: “It will bring cutting-edge technologies to the battlespace of the future.”

I was a FL certified teacher from 1997-2012, and I now live in MA. I
am writing because of a problem I perceive with elections – and I am
suggesting a possible solution.

As a voter, I believe I should not only have the right to vote, but I
should be able to know facts about whom I am voting for. Yet, because
of the 1974 federal law FERPA, I am unable to review a candidate's
college transcript unless I file a lawsuit under that law.

Jeb Bush ran for governor three times in Florida, and also ran for
president. Each time he portrayed himself as a graduate of a 4-year
public university, but after much research I now believe he dropped
out of college after two years, and his father covered it up for him.
I am now sure Jeb Bush never attempted nor completed two of the four
years of his alleged degree in Latin American Studies. He dropped out,
but since 1988, his father, mother, friends, and the government make
false claims about his actual college status.

Should a candidate be able to run for office posing as a college

As you ride the Amtrak along the Pacific coast between Los Angeles and San Diego, you pass the San Onofre nuclear power plant, home to three mammoth atomic reactors shut by citizen activism. 

Framed by gorgeous sandy beaches and some of the best surf in California, the dead nukes stand in silent tribute to the popular demand for renewable energy. They attest to one of history’s most powerful and persistent nonviolent movements.
