I am a lefty. And I like everything you said Lars.... except NRA and global warming. I think the NRA is our own terrorist organization with far too much power contributing to our gun violence on every level - when the NRA literally owns congress and keep us from voting on commonsense gun laws and selecting supreme court justices, something is very wrong. I also think science is critical for our survival, taking care of the environment and finding new energy sources, not to mention the science of health, medicine, technology, oceans, earth and much more - all critical to our world. Climate change/global warming is our biggest threat by far, regardless of the causes. Science should be the number one topic this election season but it's barely mentioned.
But that's just me.
