Come on.
That isn't the point of contention.

It certainly can't change at all if there's an atmosphere of callous disregard for the plight of those in need. And a segment out there is actively promoting that very atmosphere.

Quick note and request...

I'd like to spend more time on this but just cannot right now or in the week leading to Cup. I do want to ask everyone to be considerate of each other's opinions here as in other areas of DT though.

I was not happy with some things I saw yesterday in another thread that was totally inapproriate and out of character for this site. I'm almost always exceedingly proud of the atmosphere we have and remind that a lot of us have come to spend time with each other in person. No one should write anything that we know we wouldn't say aloud in polite company.

In other words, the 'DT Saratoga Picnic Table Rule' is in effect as much for Politics/Society as the Paddock...

THX!

That's simply untrue. Quite frankly it's played out.

The whole system is dysfunctional and promotes inactivity and dependance.

The problem is robotics and automation. The beloved rich democrats tend to focus on charities that center around population control.

Just recently our government recommended whooping cough vaccines for pregnant women...knowing full well the dangers.

I'm tired of the bullshit on both sides. This whole class warfare is nothing more than the new racism. The masses must have a group to hate.

Counterproductive.
