Amendment question

[CptTrips]

I have a modest proposal to replace our entire electoral process.

Sounds like there is a lack of education in American schools about government.

Is Biden a good President?

Trump could not keep his mouth shut and this one cannot fathom what year it is.

There was a time one didn't think of such things .. how the government worked was the least of my thoughts

Today is different for many reasons.. being 63 in a week has a bunch to do with that for me

I got my response but feel free to continue until its locked...

High school in the early '60s had us learn about government in history and civic classes. In geography, we learned how weather effected climate.

Interesting.   Not trying to be a smart-aleck, but I was taught climate affects weather, not the other way around.   Your climate determines your weather.

Weather is day-to-day conditions at a place; climate is composed of broad patterns over a larger area and a longer time period - i.e., it can be rainy and windy in Boston but partly cloudy and mild in New York City on the same day - these cities experience different weather, but overall they have the same climate, both being located on the East coast of North America at roughly the same latitude, with similar land geography.

Trump did what he said he would do.

Biden hasn't and doesn't know what he said.

[Eviscerate]

Yes climate is over a broader period of time. Like the natural warming and cooling periods of the earth. This also affects the ocean levels. Many years ago the oceans were much higher than they are now. There was much less water trapped in ice. Climate change? You bet, all the time. Always has, and always will.

Think of it like this.  Weather is the clothes you are wearing today.  Climate is the clothes in your closet.

No argument there.   The concern is how fast it's changing (warming) this time, what is causing the rapid change.

Bogus weather control and vp/president choices..

I can see the connection...

One believes in God and while the other side think they are God (actually doesn't believe in God) and can control the weather...

Political opinion thread still chugging?

[Ack-Ack]

Aaaaand now it's political. 

It became political with the OP's original post.
