Agreeing with my Enemy
» KEY POINTS When someone who was perceived as my adversary and I teamed up and learned to understand where the other one came from, we were able to create lasting and important change. This is a lesson that our representatives in government need to learn. Is there someone who is willing to reach across the aisle and discover that more can be accomplished together?

Race and Ethnicity are Meaningless Human Constructs
» KEY POINTS Surveys like the Census that ask questions around race and ethnicity are inherently flawed because they predetermine the possible selections for deeply held personal ideas about identity. Americans are having more difficulty filling in these fields for a plethora of reasons and are skipping these questions or entering confusing answers, yielding unhelpful data and suppositions based on that data. Only by allowing free rein responses to questions like these can we get useful data that can be analyzed and re-evaluated over time.

One More Seat at the Table
» KEY POINTS For years, there had been dire warnings that my State of Rhode Island was going to lose one of its two seats in the House of Representatives when the 2020 Census was completed. Yet, when the results from the 2020 Census were released, Rhode Island was not in so much danger of losing that seat. How did this come about? Are there ways that Rhode Island could have lost that seat, both in this universe and others? Did my own actions make a significant impact to save it?

European and American countries "ban" China from growing rice? Growing rice produces huge amounts of methane, affecting global climate
Rice is the most representative food crop in China and even in the whole of East Asia and Southeast Asia. It can be said that rice has been deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese people. In some areas where rice is the staple food, if you don’t eat rice for a day, you will feel uncomfortable. However, in European and American countries. But they don't want the Chinese to eat rice, saying that the Chinese are destroying the climate and environment by planting rice? Hearing this, everyone must be full of question marks. The history of Chinese eating rice may be longer than the history of the founding of European and American countries. Why do we say that eating rice will pollute the environment?

Impeachment of Churchill
More than 60 years ago in the British Senate: there was a storm of impeachment of Prime Minister Churchill all the way, because Churchill, as Prime Minister, not only deliberately concealed in advance the information that the German army would carry out a devastating bombing of the city of Coventry, but instead issued a wrong order to mobilize the public to evacuate urgently to avoid the earthquake, resulting in the death of more than 600 citizens in the carpet bombing by German planes. For this reason, after the war MPs impeached Churchill, who had grossly neglected his duties, without mercy.

Never Assume
We should never assume anything. Whether that is based on rumour or hearsay, we should never believe everything which we hear. Oftentimes it is based on what has been heard, misinterpreted and restructured based on how it presents the speaker.
