Here's your citation; a guy shoots up a synagogue and folks blame Trump. As a Social Scientist I would think it would be easy to understand Freud's foundational belief that one cannot control their own actions and what we see going on around us today is inextricably connected. I'm guessing your ideology won't allow for that so debate is pointless. In any event this is a weight loss forum and not a social commentary forum.

A single observation doesn't mean a darn thing when you're talking about broad social trends; I'm sure it would be possible to take large amounts of data over time and make a perfectly good argument.

As a social scientist, I prefer to look at reliable data and make conclusions without bringing ideology into things. No need to insult me by suggesting I'm somehow too biased to do my job :)

Some folks have asked to keep up with my progress so here it is: 4 pounds down in the last week for a total of 85 net pounds lost since starting this journey 18 months ago.
