1.? Were you surprised by the deposal of Assad in Syria?

Very much so - even more surprising than the collapse of the South Vietnamese in 1975.

2.? Which world leader do you think will be the next to be deposed?

Two hopeful candidaates are Putin and the Ayatolla of Iran - but I think the most likely to leave is Biden - get Harris in long enough to give him a pardon for everything he has done in the last thirty years - though child abuse is not a federal crime.

3.? Should drugs be decriminalized / and or sold over the counter - especially opiate pain relievers?

I think so - I have friends who hare in chronic long term pain who can't get even low level opiates.

4.? ?Were you surprised that Trump was named Person of the Year by Time Magazine?

Absolutely - though after everything else I don't know who else they could have hamed.

5. Unidentified drones have been flying over New Jersey and New York.? What should the government's response to this be and which part of which government should have the authority to intervene?

The federal government should give states and local jurisdictions the right to defend their own airspace.? And letting private individuals shoot down the low flying ones would be a good idea.? The worst thing the federal government can do is sent a 30 million dollar airplane and a 2 million dollar missile after a one thousand dollar drone - a policemen in a traffic helicopter using a 12 gauge shotgun at close range would work? just as well.? For the bigger ones - a proximity rounded 20 mm can be used as well.
