Insensitive People Surround Us
Re: the meme here, a reader responds, I am not afraid for myself, but I fear for others. See the difference?
Exactly. I’m not afraid of the Gestapo because I’m not a Jew.

Are 99+% of Earth’s Citizens’ Beliefs “Wrong?”
I wonder what percentage of Americans believe what this guy, “a servant of Jesus, says at left. One might respond to this question, “Well, what percent of Americans are Christian evangelicals?”
I think that’s an oversimplification.
I’m sure there are extremely devout Christians who, 6000 years after the book of Genesis was written, disbelieve that Noah collected two of every animal species, including insects, penguins, rhinos, and kangaroos and put them on a boat in the Middle East. Or that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Etc., etc.
I’m really OK with those who live according to the teachings of Christ.
I’m not at all OK with those who reject science. If we were created by God, would He have cut us off from using our capacity to think rationally? To prevent and treat disease?
Trump Doesn’t Hide?
Well, that’s not exactly true, is it?
He’s hiding behind a smokescreen of chaos and mayhem–in the form of both the civil war that he’s trying to provoke in Minnesota, and an international war over Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran. All in an effort to avoid being impeached, convicted, and incarcerated for life.
Trump Unhinged
It really does seem that Trump has lost whatever grasp on reality he may have once had.
Can’t we remove him?
Trump’s Character
I ‘m happy to report that I have never met a single person who raises his kids to be dishonest criminals.
“The Bad Seed”
I highly recommend this movie.
And yes, its relevance today is its depiction of evil.

Removing Trump
Personally, I’d much rather see Trump removed from office for his criminal/traitorous behavior than his insanity, but, as my wife would say, “Whatever gets the job done.”
Ideas of the Political Left
Apparently, it hasn’t dawned on this fellow that the “ideas of the political left” are functioning perfectly well in the social democracies all around the world.
By what measure?
Well, human happiness, for one.
Countries that offer their citizens taxpayer funded education, healthcare, and safety nets consistently score at the very top of the World Happiness Rankings. It seems that people thrive in communities that take care of one another.
American Democracy
What journalist Chris Hedges says here is true, but I’m afraid we have a bigger and more immediate problem with the mayhem being created by Donald Trump, in an apparent effort to forestall the 2026 midterm elections.
Is Consumer Protection Necessary?
Consumer protection safeguards buyers from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices through laws, regulations, and agencies. Anyone who believes that corporations will police themselves must not be living on the same planet that you and I are.
