1.? Define the word disinformation

I view disinformation as someone purposely spreading lies for their own nefarious purposes. As opposed to misinformation, where someone is spreading lies, but they themselves actually believe the lies.


2.? Should the US unilaterally intervene in Haiti?

Probably not. To some extent the current problems can be traced back to the US using Haiti as their dumping ground for lead garbage, so I think we should help them out. But I don¡¯t know that unilaterally intervening is the best way to help them.

3.? Who is to blame for the famine crisis in Gaza?

Britain for setting up Israel in 1948 without adequate buy-in from the people already living there. The current situation now¡­.there is not enough farmland in Gaza to support the people living there. An area that has to rely on food imports will always be very precarious at best.

4.? What 20th century genocide killed the highest portion of the single countries population?

I¡¯d guess Pol Pot in Cambodia¡­.But I suspect North Korea comes close, although they are so closeted and the genocide so on-going over decades, that its hard to know the true picture of what is happening there.

5.? ?Are you considering voting for a third party presidential candidate this year?

?No. This year will be only the 2nd time ever I vote for a Democrat/Republican candidate.
