Serving as a Supreme Court justice should be like jury duty but for judges.

@Jdreben The good news is that if we change certain aspects of society, to place more belief in people's innate altruism, we can build a better world...

I was recommended this article by @sophisteuein (written by @alexguerrero ), a while back, and have been thinking about it ever since...

Never been tried on mass scale before, but if it worked, it would stop "them" gaining control.
