I am so done with politics.  Right now I'm completely ignoring the election and concentrating on NFL football.  That said, I want to say one thing about #2.  If you don't think Republicans appoint "activist" judges are you deluding yourself.  If you are liberal you think conservative judges are activists.  If you are conservative then you think liberal judges are activists.  For example, from a liberal point of view, you can't have a greater degree of activist judges than the Supreme's deciding the 2000 election and the Citizen's United ruling.  Those two are so over the top activism it's hard to imagine anything worse.   Which is one of the reasons why I've completely given up on thinking about our government.  There is no joy in thinking about government and it is a complete waste of my time.

In terms of athletes, it would be nice if they were paid for the amount of time they are spending making the Universities bundles of money.  My hope is we should value and reward hard work.  Nobody should work for free.  I would like to see athletes at least get paid as much as someone receiving work-study financial aid.   By my calculation it would cost Syracuse around $2,000,000 to pay all the athletes a work-study rate of pay (it's probably less because I'm guessing the number athletes that would qualify and I think I had too many in my estimate).   University sports would still be very profitable.
