These days there is a huge crisis raging through the country, and that's the fentanyl crisis. People are dying atalarming rates from this dangerous drug, and states are enacting new laws to combat it. What are their bright ideas? To charge drug users with murder. In this episode I get into this topic and explain why I think that is a losing proposition. See if you agree.

Well, there has been some really crazy news happening out there lately! So much so, that I decided to make this short update about two items.

I also talk about the crazy collapse of I95 down in Philadelphia. That is gonna be a nightmare, but I feel like we aren't asking the right questions. Join me and see if you agree!

 A group known as the Equal Protection Project has filed a complaint against MSU for disrcriminating against white males. Yes, you read that right. The discrimination was against white males. You see, there was a business booster program of sorts that was only open to people of color or women. So EPP felt that was unfair and illegal. In this episode, I get into why I feel this complaint is just WRONG on so many levels! You might disagree, but I can't see how. Listen in, leave a comment and see if you change your mind. One thing for sure, you'll know exactly where I stand! Previous episodes can be found here: https://www.statementsofopinion.com/episodes

In this episode I discuss the show and the really horrible things that Armie and the Hammer family are apperently involved in.

In this episode I have a new pet peeve that is also a phenomenom you may have experienced yourself- when you park in a big empty lot, come back to your car and someone else has parked next to you, leaving all other empty spaces alone!

Apparently there is a growing concept of taking away traditional grading systems in schools and colleges, and replacing them with ungrading. It seems that the idea is to engage the student in feedback generating self-reflection on their progress through courses. I don't know much about ungrading, but from what I do know, it doesn't seem viable. Join me in this episode as I explain my thoughts, and feel free to share yours too! Missed an episode?
