Trust but Verify

[George S]

An "honest" politician stays bought .... when he wants to get re-elected.

Suggested new amendment: No person shall be elected the house for more than a total service of six years.

Repeal the 17th amendment leaving senators appointed by the state governor or legislature to represent that state's rights.

If two thirds (34) State legislatures ask Congress a Constitutional Convention must be called. Three quarters of the States' votes (38) is required for ratification at that convention. (Republicans have control of 32 state legislatures today.)

 

[Loren Pechtel]

Because most people, in most situations, are trustworthy. Normal social interactions contain enough safeguards we can risk small things.

Most people are trustworthy? We're born with that? Why, then, do babies cry when they are uncomfortable? I'm pretty sure we should be skeptical and verify.

It's not unheard of for babies to learn to cry to get attention.
