Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. addresses the University of Austin on Civil Discourse

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joins Nadine Strossen at the University of Austin for a conversation on the necessity of civil discourse and debate in a healthy democracy.

This campaign is so exciting to watch. Literally the FIRST time I have EVER been excited about a presidential candidate. To see so many more people happily jumping on the Kennedy Train every day-from all over the political spectrum-just fills my heart with HOPE. He is the only one of the three candidates who has ANY chance of uniting the country again. He’s already doing it. As each day goes by, the momentum for him seems to be snowballing-and we still have almost 8 months left! This man is NOT an underdog, he is NOT a “spoiler.” What he IS is a legitimate third choice. And the reality is, with all the liabilities plaguing the other two campaigns, and considering how SICK people are of the “Uniparty,” Bobby may have just as much chance to win as anyone else. Keep the faith-and spread the word!

[@kerrryschultz2904]

I come from a farming background and the shame of lack of correct information on a lot of farms is that the loss of artificial fertilizers and chemicals would drop the yields to uneconomic proportions. That is not true. Example is the Haggerty family in western Australia in a moisture challenged area that out yield their neighbours who use full fertilizer and chemical and on the Haggerty farm they have had some fields that have not had any fertilizer for 18 years and have had 6 years of straight wheat with no reduction of yield. They use a worm extract and also a fungal dominated material that is liquid applied to the seed and will run a ruminant over the soil for the bacteria. The fungal material you can make your self but it takes months to mature. They don't have a weed problem because removing nitrate fertilizers that weeds thrive on, eliminated the weed problem.There are many examples besides the Haggerty's and the fungal / bacterial component works on vegetables and fruiting plants. It was here long before man kind walked the earth. Robert Kennedy Jr. is a very smart, well read, and researched man and he probably knows something about the path to better food, and better health.

[@patriciakimball8150]

@@kerrryschultz2904 Wow, that’s really interesting. Thank you for explaining. There has been a movement here in the USA (I first read about it in 1977)… I think one of the directions one could go in is called “permaculture”. I forget the big names in the field but there were some great figures who wrote extensively about it. I read about the Keyline system of water management born in Australia. So elegant! Alas, I’m a city girl, born & bred, and have never had a chance to experience it. But I do like good, clean food and believe it’s a crime to foul the waters that wild animals have to drink.

Civil discourse is obviouisly essential for a functioning society - even something as prone to tyranny as a pure Democracy. Thankfully, we are not that. Our problem is that we are no longer a healthy society, be it a pure Democracy or a Republic. All these intellectuals can sit on padded chairs in packed auditoriums for a year, expounding upon the civil virtues. That's fine, but at the end of theday, you have to walk down the street without getting beaten up either by a thug or by people who don't like the hat you wear. We already have the Blueprint for a civil society, and it worked pretty good for most of th elast 250+ years, with notable exceptions . That blueprint was explained by John Adams when he said, "Our American Constitution was made for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other." Even back in his day, not everyone went to church or even believed in God the way most others did. Many Founders were Deists - far from Fundamentalists. Adams' point is that when enough people go to church and believe more or less the same thing - even with variances, they will all act morally towards one another. We have lost that completely. Chesterton said this: "When man no longer believes in God, he does not believe in Nothing. [Rather] he is then capable of believing Anything."
