Why Hillary Lost
By Josh Glazer
Enough people just plain did not like her. The anti-Hillary machine was at full speed, and people don't get to know the truth of things. She should have stepped back and supported another Democrat, but her arrogance led her and the country to defeat.
Democrats are not the richest - that's the Republicans. We can only defeat the rich by kicking them out of gov't. It's time we did that, and did it right.

Mega Super Air Purifiers!
Mega Super Air Purifiers!
By Josh Glazer
I have Air Purifiers in virtually every room of my private residence. They work like a fan, sucking in air and then blowing it out, passing it through a series of filters designed to catch any fine particulates or odors. They usually are a combination of a fine mesh pre-filter, a carbon filter for odors, and a final HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter to catch particles as small as .3 microns. I have to clean and change the filters regularly. (I like breathing clean, relatively dust-free air.)
Now think of the fact that it has rained almost every day for the last year. I know this to be true, because part of my side business used to be going to yard sales on the weekend and then reselling items on EBay. However, starting around last July (2018), it has rained every weekend, ending all yard sales, and also flooding my garage twice, destroying half of my shipping boxes and merchandise. The cleanup has taken all year, and is still a work in progress.
Where is all this rain coming from? Why is it raining so much?
I am no climate scientist, but I think the answer is simple: we have poured pollution into our atmosphere with reckless abandon, and the many fine particulates combine with microscopic water droplets, forming clouds, and finally rain. There is just way, way, too much, now.
What’s the solution? What to do?!?
Why don’t we build some Billion Dollar Air Purifiers – all around the world? With replaceable filters? Essentially cleaning the air in the atmosphere, and then burying the discarded filters underground? Much like how the earth’s atmosphere was naturally formed over the last few billion years – by gasses combining with organic material and then being buried underground in an oxidizing type manner (leaving our current mix of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc.).
This solution (of cleaning the air in the atmosphere with giant international air purifiers) seems so simple that I am amazed it has not been yet been at least publicly proposed or debated. In fact, I can’t think of any publicly proposed solutions to our climate change problem – we are too busy arguing about whether the problem actually exists or not! (Energy efficiency, aside.)
To really work, this must be an international effort. The idea is simple, but the implementation, undeniably complex. However, I would argue under the strongest terms that SOMETHING must be done about the pollution in our atmosphere, and what it is doing to our planet (and us). I propose that we clean the air with giant purifiers, and then bury the used filters underground. This would clean the air, and also keep the air relatively clean while we figure out better solutions. Anyone got a better idea?

Don’t Judge On Me
Don’t Judge On Me
By Josh Glazer
People have the ability to almost instantaneously judge another person just by viewing them for a split second. This was a necessary tool for early evolving groups of Homo Sapiens, who had to know whether a stranger was a friend or foe, as quickly as possible. Those who were most able to judge the fastest were the ones more likely to survive (i.e. Natural Selection).
Here in the 21st century, however, we have moved way past our early basic evolutionary survival needs. We have language, literature, philosophy, science, culture, globalization – judging another person on the merits of a split second evolved reflex instinct is not ethically valid anymore. It is simply not a luxury that a person can morally have – to judge someone else without fully understanding that person.
I will only give one example – myself. I have noticed on Facebook, in this semi-anonymous virtual world, that people sometimes seem angry and hurtful for no apparent reason. But I had an idea this morning. It is possible, and this is just a theory, but maybe some people look at me and say, ‘Why is this person bitching about this or that? They are white, tall, intelligent, etc.’ Some people may even envy these characteristics, and be existentially offended that I am dissatisfied, for whatever reason. Solution: take out your anger on me by posting some obviously ridiculous offensive or meaningless garbage.
This would be an erroneous judgment. To begin with, I don’t think you can know another person fully without: 1) Living inside their head, which is impossible. Or, 2) Totally understanding human psychology, biology, evolution, etc. You would also need to talk to the person at length and take in all knowledge about them, as an individual. Then, after you have acquired and analyzed all of that information, in the light of all the knowledge we have about human beings, the cosmos, life, etc. Then, you can make a partially valid judgment. But again, without “Walking in another’s shoes”, you can never make a totally valid decision regarding another person.
People assume they know other people and themselves well enough that they can go around offending and harming people, taking out their own aggression on people they view as easy targets. I know that I have been an easy target my whole life. And people DO take out their anger and envy on me. I have some news, though – Everyone is upset about something. No one is totally happy. Everyone wishes they were someone else or had some other feature that they don’t already have. So I think one should reserve their judgment, and not take out their anger on other people from simple frustration with their own life. You probably only know about 1% of the information you think you do.
