Speaking of sacking and burning churches, one of the crimes that Geffory Chaucher was accused of doing was getting a gang of locals to rob a church, two days in a row. It was estimated that on the first heist, the crowd got, by today's value, a million dollars and the next day about half a million. And they say the Catholic church has no money - 100s and 100s of billions in assets, especially art.

I have long opposed the death penalty as a country should not be engaged in killing their own people. Often, I have had people try to argue the emotional, "how would you feel if........ your family.

More often, using that argument at least gets a listen.

Oregon church sues town over restrictions on free meals to homeless people : NPR

Beowulfsfriend comments on Feb 3, 2022:

This is sadly an issue around the country. NYC has done similar, claiming it is for the protection of the homeless. Homeless shelters used to get the culled geese near the airports before that stopped. They stopped culing the geese who overpopulated and became more of a flight danger. Then, once they restarted the cull, the dead animals were landfilled (unless, in the last few years they changed policy and I missed it).

The thing about Putin is - he is beyond middle age for a Russian male. He does keep himself in pretty good shape and has the best doctors, in Russia though. The Russian Covid vaccine Sputnik 5 wasn't supposed to be taken at his age (one reason why it isn't among the 8 or so vaccines WHO recommended). He finally did take it though (or maybe he took a Western one slipped into his country). Have you seen any videos of his daughter, the acrobat?

It was a very small fire, on the beach, about a 100 yards from where even big fires were legal. Her back-up told us we could let it burn until we left (we were waiting for a friend so as to row out to his boat).

While the men were getting released, LBJ went on television to tell the public that he sent the letter and, paraphrasing, it was bullshit. No President could do that today.

The Day After Russia Attacks

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jan 22, 2022:

Putin wants to rebuild the old empire of the Soviets. He may very well invade. His troops are strategically set up, in the East and Crimea and in the North with Belarus. And, just because a country has 45 million citizens, that isn't their army. Putin also has air power. I don't know what Putin's objective is right now. He does want to rebuild a stronger Russian power base. Yes, he has plenty of fire power to knock back Ukraine. Ukraine has already stated its defensive measures - go toe-to-toe for about a week and then move into the hills. Europe and the US can do very little, aside from sanctions and to be honest, I'm not sure all of NATO is onboard. Germany has been kowtowing to Putin recently. British military supplies flown to Ukraine had to fly around Germany. And Turkey has been playing footsie with Putin for quite a while.
