1.? What was the most significant executive order ever issued by a president of the US? FDR's order to intern people of Japanese ancestry? 2.? Will Joe Biden drop out of the race for reelection? Yes, though his interview today with ABC may drlay it until the second debate. 3.? Are moral codes universal? No; it's morally worse to waste water in the desert than it is in a lake district. 4.?Do you expect social unrest after the US election in November? Probably; a lot of people will not like the outcome, whatever it is. 5.? Should 4th of July fireworks be banned for being detrimental to the environment? We can make some exceptions for the 4th of July, though I was appalled at the smoke from Elko's $50,000 extravaganza last night for a city of 20,000. Indian Wells must have at least 30 fireworks displays every winter that should be stopped for both safety and pollution reasons, though. A private "gender reveal" party fireworks started a range fire in California a couple of years ago. Ed On Friday, July 5, 2024, mrvnchpmn via <chapman=[email protected]> wrote:

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý? Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation No, there's no good reason for him to drop out. There are moral codes everywhere and they have similarities, but they are not the same. Not a lot Yes. Drone shows are much better. Aloha, Celeste Rogers |
I have to agree with Celeste on the "most significant executive order." ?FDR's order to send US citizens to concentration camps based on their race was appalling, useless, and racist, and direct affected more people, but the Emancipation Proclamation is significant simply because people believe it to be more significant, even though it was purely symbolic and did not free any slaves.? Lincoln's suspension of Habeas Corpus was one of the most notorious executive orders.

1.? What was the most significant executive order ever issued by a president of the US? I had to look this?up. Creating the Office of Homeland Security might have been a warning sign?for times to come. I remember at the time drawing parallels to other fatherland-defending initiatives from earlier in history. I am still not convinced it was not a significant step along a dangerous path. Still, it probably does not count as all that, I guess.? 2.? Will Joe Biden drop out of the race for reelection? I am not yet feeling a strong direction on this. It would obviously be best for him if he bowed out under protest, so maybe all the huffing and puffing is just to provide a plausible deniability in retrospect for down the road. If so, then yes. If not and he is seriously determined to torture himself for four more years, then no, he will stay the course. Not sure yet... 3.? Are moral codes universal? Do moral codes exist for all human cultures? Probably. Is any one moral code The Answer for all cultures? Probably not. Morals are subjective and nothing is cuter than a red-faced, righteous fanatic pointing out the evils of a differing morality. 4.?Do you expect social unrest after the US election in November? How would the election make it go away? I suspect it will continue, yes. 5.? Should 4th of July fireworks be banned for being detrimental to the environment? In the queue following?factory?farming, deforestation, plastic pollution, air pollution, medical waste, light pollution, water pollution, parking lots, whaling... |
