  12. @ProfD well, every government in human history has dysfunction while also is a system that can operate effectively. The bottom line is the history of the USA provides all the proof to the inevitable flaws in the USA system or the populace in the usa or the fiscal capitalistic tools in the usa that can not be undone from within it. The multivision, not just division, it is more than two camps in every issue, isn't a problem in my view. It was inevitable. But one consensus does exist in the USA in a large way, and has been in existence even greater since the 1960s. And most people in the USA, I bet over 80% will confirm it on any question. You try asking the folks where you live Professor... The consensus in the USA is ... the populace in the USA can't reach consensus.

  15. @ProfD what can't go both ways exactly? You restated this but my point was the accountability you desire in the current governmental environment will require structural changes to parties of governance or the government itself. The current mold deletes the potential of accountability. The proof is the current body of elected officials in the usa, to be blunt. All the elected officials know the fiscal poor voting populace has no way to make them accountable. yeah, but what happens when the voters know all the candidates have no plans to solve anything? which is the common case in the usa today? Well, you believe populaces in the USA can be more influential than they are to the process of electing officials. I oppose that view but I comprehend your position. IDeally, the usa system works as you suggest. Populaces in districts can gather and make, as you say, a list of priorities. The current elected official can, or can not, try to show the populace they are trying to achieve the list. If said officials doesn't try or fails to convince on attempt, said populace can vote out and , your key tactic, candidates will eventually learn to heed the populaces list. But two flaws in this strategy exist. 1) The assumption that any populace can stay engaged or collected through constantly kick ing out officials who fail the list. Eventually any populace will lose interest and people will lose total interest in voting. 2)The assumption that a candidate will eventually arrive as an independent or as a member of a party of governance who will want and work for said populaces list. And the proof is the current body of elected officials in the usa. The parties of governance in the usa clearly are aligned in maintaining a quality of elected official that doesn't give a voter a viable option. And, the effectiveness of an independent candidate is low on arrival and thus hard to be able to prove to a voting populace they can satisfy that list.
  16. @ProfD Since most people in the USA feel the government , at all levels is doing nothing, the answer is simple. All the options for candidates are do-nothings. This is why Schrumptf won the POAL candidacy. It isn't hard to defeat do nothings. But you need someone willing to call them out, which can not be done by soon to be do nothings. I can give an example. Ocasio cortez is a do nothing. No different than nancy pelosi. Yes, different age, language in the home they were raised in. But the same. do nothing. In the USA , new do nothings are placed by those fiscal powers you spoke of to replace the old do nothings. The problem with accountability in the system in the usa , is it isn't possible until election. And sequentially, if the other candidate is no better than the current then no tool for accountability exist for any voting populace. You suggest elected officials are incapable of comprehending problems today , as some problems are more difficult, and a community listing the problems can aid in accountability. Well, if an elected official campaigned but didn't know the problems then they are charlatans and that goes back to my point about the disconnect between black elected officials and the black community. So, the problem is not allowing charlatans. And, I was not raised in Newark or New orleans and while I don't know all the problems of the black community in either city , I know enough of them to not need a list to know what to do if mayor, and no, I do not want to be mayor of newark or new orleans or new york city. I will assume every single black person in the USA living in some city has seen or experienced or witnessed at least one problem, and so if elected they have at least one agenda without a note from anyone, and if they have a black advocacy spirit, they will simply make the solution policy regardless of any financial activities. But for those black people who say they don't see any problems , I say the feces of the male taurus.

  18. @ProfD I remember when Obama or Eric Adams was elected, no body black in harlem said in anything was coming our way, not one person. if anything, what black people in harlem nyc said was, they might have heart attacks if anybody does anything for black people Maybe where you are black people assume black elected officials will do for black people. but the black community in NYC is well acquainted with impotency from black elected officials, adam clayton powell jr and shirley chisholm and even charles barron are not respected for nothing, they are rare in a city that produces many black elected officials in the past 50 to 60 years. Black people in NYC don't assume Black elected officials will have black interest at heart. Black people in NYC assume Black elected officials will do nothing, are not loyal or purposeful to the black community and have already researched all the black elected officials and know none will serve the black community. The problem is where you are Black people are assuming what you say but I think most Black people reflect the black community in NYC. And that is my point, the first time a modern black elected official in the usa does for black people in the usa as a priority , without any financial incentive, like the advocates, that person will be beloved by most black communities, and especially in NYC. Black people in NYC want Black elected officials to act like the Black advocates of yore de facto, they don't expect them to or assume they will but that is what they want.
  19. @ProfD Most Black people know this already. I think they don't forgive black politicans for it and considering the black advocates in Black history in the usa, that makes sense to me. Olayemi said all of this herself, and I seconded her. But the issue isn't a comprehension of governance, it is a relationship between black elected officials side black people in the usa. And in issues that are primarily about people of color or to be specific black people, ala like Rikers or the incarceration system itself, black elected officials quality to the black community is clearly negative. Shirley chisholm who left government in my view cause her peers required lobbying or special interest groups to do things said Black people must focus on financing. Lobbying requires money , cause it is paying the government officials to do what you want. I argue, many black people, based on black advocates long gone or white haired or dead, desire black elected officials to not merely have photos of malcolm or martin near their head in advertisements but act like black advocates, ala Shirley chisholm. Are you suggesting black people in the usa need to stop desiring the black elected official of today <eric adams/kamala harris for example > act like the black advocates of yore<fannie lou hamer/malcolm> ?
  20. The tragedy of Rikers and Black elected officials in NYC is how clearly dysfunctional to the needs of the Black community Black elected officials in NYC are. And to be blunt, it relates to Kamala Harris who was the Attorney General of California and... In this forum, I read so many replies to my post concerning black elected officials in the usa that did one of two things. 1) Supported the lack of acting to the black communities specific betterment in the usa by black elected officials in stating a philosophical goal for the usa, that being an aracial human community, that the usa has never been and doesn't seem to be heading to. 2) Placing upon the Black community in the USA, regardless of other groups in the USA, the goal of having no illegality or crime from members of the Black community in the USA. Why do I say this? not because I have a problem with it. But it explains a huge problem in the Black community in the USA. The following is of Eric Adams, the article is from Olayemi Olurin The ARTICLE https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2091&type=status The issue of Black elected officials needing another quality comes up a trillion times... The need for an Black party, which again, in USA history never happened. The why I comprehend, but the lack of Black people realizing the problem in it not occuring is what angers me. https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/9211-the-black-community-in-the-usa-need-an-alternative-to-black-officials-from-the-party-of-andrew-jackson-or-abraham-lincoln/ Black organizations making plans that are disconnected to the Black community in the USA's makeup or internal variances. https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/9769-thoughts-on-national-black-voters-day/ right to bear arms, the first in my pulpit series https://www.kobo.com/us/en/audiobook/richard-murray-s-pulpit-episode-1

  23. A search for the oldest titty of Titty Tuesday
  24. Someone I love shared a titty tuesday photo to me, and it made me think. When did Titty Tuesday begin. Can we find out the origins? The oldest social message. Who doesn't want to know...how many bare naked titties have been shown on titty tuesday, which has been going on for a while. Who knows right? I searched google and bing and yahoo, "first titty tuesday post and I" couldn't get anything. Then i thought let me go back:) i will use twitter, and search from jan 1st 2066 to february 1st 2006 for hashtag tittytuesday < (#tittytuesday) until:2006-02-01 since:2006-01-01 > and saw nothing until I get to 2010 <(#tittytuesday) until:2010-02-01 since:2010-01-01 > so then I said to myself go back a little < (#tittytuesday) until:2009-12-01 since:2009-11-01 > and I saw results, many from twitpic, which don't work now I went back months and months until <(#tittytuesday) until:2009-08-01 since:2009-07-01 > I quote The following two were interesting in that twitter had slow issues loading these as standalone posts:) I realize titty tuesday is new around this time, so ok, let's go back some more < (#tittytuesday) until:2009-07-01 since:2009-06-01 > <<as a point of note, he didn't don't tell him I told you >> I finally reached a lean search return (#tittytuesday) until:2009-05-01 since:2009-04-01 I checked top and latest and only one return more information on that tweet The Sizzler @mysecretworld Apr 28, 2009 This is the tweeter The Sizzler 2,160 Tweets The Sizzler @mysecretworld I'm an engineer that likes to have sex, eat pussy, and fuck tits. Joined March 2009 206 Following 219 Followers PENULTIMATELY So based on my wee research, Tittytuesday was born on twitter on April 28th 2009, from a user who only accumulated 2,160 tweets... hmmm. I bet a bot. But, what about the oldest tittytuesday titties? The goal was to find the oldest tittes findable. ... I went further ahead and finally found an image at < (#tittytuesday) until:2011-12-01 since:2011-11-01 > A two year distance from the first titty tuesday, but The link is from November 30th 2011 The contents It links to the following image, which is of a clothed breast in a shirt entitled, body by brandt I went back and searched for twitpic images as other referrals seem to be deleted < (#tittytuesday) AND twitpic until:2011-11-01 since:2011-10-01 > The twitpic link that actually worked I went further back < (#tittytuesday) AND twitpic until:2011-06-01 since:2011-05-01 > The twitpic link and I went further back , but the twit pic links just didn't work. they were not highlighted, and I wasn't about to copy and paste. Now to be fair, maybe they do but I wanted to get to the first post and then try and find the first image. I can't say the following image is the first, but on twitter it is one of the early available. So the following is the oldest titty tuesday image I could cite IN CONCLUSION When I look at the early days of titty tuesday , it is to be noted how unrevealing it was. You can see through the search the growth of popularity and the phase into industry. Today, some women are bare breast models. Men mostly but others in general pay to see their breast bare in various scenarios and titty tuesday is like their sunday at christian church. Many of them give a bare witness to honor titty tuesday and lead potential customers to themselves. And we found the birthday of titty Tuesday on twitter at least: April 28th 2009 If you have another idea for an internet game, leave a comment. Post Script ...and desire5000 is on twitter still, in her description she refer to herself as a legend... i for one can't deny it
