Why do all the smartest, most well-educated people seem to be liberals?
Educated people tend to be leftists because leftists are the ones who have arrogated the power to determine who is educated.Both Thomas Sowell and Fredrich Hayek have written about this, including Sowell's book Intellectuals and Society; both identify intellectuals as those whose primary work product is words. Everyone must find others who will pay for their work product if they are to earn a living, but until very recently only the very wealthy were willing to pay for words, and the very wealthy were those running governments prior to the rise of the middle class. Those running governments were, of course, authoritarians who benefited from words justifying or glorifying their authority. In consequence, in order to make their living's intellectuals usually had to kiss up to powerful men in governments.Knowing what to kiss and when, as well as how, has been crucial to the prosperity (and even survival) of many intellectuals.Another factor is that intellectuals, those educated in the use of words, have presumed to define education as that which they know. They consider learning philosophy to be education but learning how to lay bricks, forge steel, grow food for other people, or run a business is not education by their standards.Naturally, intellectuals have for millennia allied themselves with authoritarians and continue to do so today, though antiauthoritarian intellectuals have become more prominent.See Dennis Pratt’s thorough answer: Dennis Pratt's answer to Why do all the smartest, most well-educated people seem to be liberals?
Do Democrats actually think it is a good idea to run Hillary Clinton again in 2020?
I certainly hope not. Many believe she would indeed be a great president, but unfortunately, there are far too many americans with irrational hatred of Hillary. Propaganda has a death grip on the voters, primarily due to ignorance and general incompetence of the american voters. The vast majority of their opinions are formed based on lies and hate and other republican rhetoric. Its just not worth trying to compete against irrationality at that extreme.Hillary is like America’s Mom. And America finally hit 18 and wants to move out of the house and just doesnt want to hear from Mom any more, for a while. America wanted a break from Mom. But Mom was calling every day, saying ‘eat your broccoli’ etc etc etc. And then Hillary says shes running for president, and americans thought: “mom wants to move into my new house!”And they lost their minds and went on a childish rampage, and elected their meanest bulkiest friend instead, just to send the message:GO AWAY MOM. LEAVE ME ALONE FOR A BIT, YA? JUST LET ME GET SOME TIME AWAY FOR ONCE! IM HANGING OUT WITH MY FRIENDS NOW, THEY ARE RUDE, YOU WOULDNT LIKE THEM, GO AWAY !ILL SEE YOU AT CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!!!!!*slam door*This is what happened in america.This is why Hillary lost.I sincerely hope Hillary just cuts her losses and does something she enjoys for the rest of her life.Mom ….. its time to relax, and let the kids manage their own lives.
Does Penn Foster catch cheaters. If so, maybe posting a warning that they might get cought will make them stop
I sure hope they do. I can't stand when people post questions about their exams. I use Penn Foster and I know that the work is not hard. The lessons are straight to the point, their practice questions asked are not difficult to find in the text, and the exams are open book. If people can't manage that then they shouldn't have signed up for the course in the first place.
Are attacks against Kamala Harris going to increase because she has a credible chance of being President, and she is seen as a threat against the status quo?
Excuse please Harris is the status quo, and the Status Quo is desperate to get back what they feel they are loosing. I was living in Ess Eff when Harris was the DA and she was a joke even by Frisco standards, there was no way she was going to be re elected when her term was up. Harris had the worse conviction rate of any DA in the state. She was at the center of a notorious Sanctuary City case involving MS-13, illegal immigration and the murder of 3 innocent people. After that she was at the center of a drug lab scandal when the director was pilfering the drugs for her own use and then writing up false reports. Harris gave it everything she had to prosecute those tainted cases (mostly involving People of Color) but 600 of them were thrown out, with withering criticism by the judge. As a result the San Fran drug lab was closed down and all her office’s drug testing had to be sent to Oakland (oh the shame!). She got her job for the “work” she did for the self described “Ayatollah of the Assembly”. One of the jobs paid $100,000/yr and met only once a month and she still had something like a 20% absentee rate. When her time was up as DA the machine kicked her upstairs to State AG. While she was there a $400,000 pay out made for a #metoo moment caused by her top political advisor. Harris has never run against a Republican in her political career, she was either anointed or ran against another Democrat … like for her current Senate seat. All her histrionics during the Kavanaugh hearing was just for show, her attraction for Democrats is that she is the prototype candidate for Identity Politics, the ultimate status quo. She’s in Trump’s wheelhouse when it comes to illegal immigration, if she is the Democrat’s nominee for Prez she’ll need sanctuary.S.F. family's murderer killed before, FBI was toldJudge rips Harris' office for hiding problemsFeinstein's surprise call for death penalty puts D.A. on spotSure, I dated Kamala Harris.

What does THE PEOPLE Vs. a certain person mean? Compared to a individual VS. an individual?
It means Society against the Bad Guy... and then if you have a civil case where one person claims the other took their trademark or committed and act of plagiarism, you would have "name of plagiarist" against "name of claimant"...
