Stephan:   I'll be very clear. Clarence Thomas should never have been confirmed as an Associate Justice. And his wife's behavior, I think, should cause him to be impeached. I don't like to use Daily Kos, because I don't like the language in which most of its stories are written, way too polemic for SR, but Daily Kos is one of the few publications that pays attention to this trend.  How can a court possibly have even the illusion of a neutral judge, when his wife is an activist at the far end of the alt-right, who sends out a six-year-old photograph of a bleeding policeman and palms it off as something to do with the immigrant caravan, as if it were a current event? And while I am at it. George Soros is a man to be admired. When the Soviet Union came apart there were very few major American business figures who recognized the opportunity to end the Cold War and have Russia become a democratic country. I was a partner in the 104th joint venture between Russia and the United States, Sovaminco, to do just that on albeit a smaller scale.  I saw this close up. History will judge the failure of the U.S. to help Russia become a democratic country, as one of the world's great geopolitical mistakes. In the glasnost and perestroika era two men stood out for me. George Soros, and Don Kendall of Pepsico. But especially Soros. He did everything he could and poured tens of millions of his own dollars into the effort to help Russia morph into that kind of country. I will always admire and respect him. Subsequently, I learned about other projects he pursued,  They all have one thing in common,  they are designed to foster wellbeing.
