Mooolah comments on Feb 18, 2022:

The solution is somewhere in the middle. I have often said it is tyranny that is the enemy. It is bigotry that is the enemy. But human nature tends to focus on personal affronts & ignores the larger scope. It takes some evolving to " make good trouble" when slurs are rampantly used in inappropriate venues such as a place of employment. To protest the usage tho it may not be directed at one's particular group. & one must make this trouble before the forces of silence permit the imposition of a 4th Reich. The moment the "bigot" sees that no Judaics are around, out come the slurs. Since gay folks have only recently come out in western nations, slurs against them were/are tolerated. If I protest, then I must be one of them or a lover of THEM. It matters not what the bigot thinks to me. What matters to me is how cowed people are if the offence is not theirs . The bigot can not do that around me without my checking them. Man, those bosses couldn't wait to get rid of me. I grew up near Chicago which boasts the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw. Then with the Irish controlling city Hall under Daley, & Italian & now Hispanic immigration, Catholicism weights heavy on the culture. But I will tell you I have never encountered as much bigotry & hatred as among those eastern Euros such as Poland, & Ukraine & German. Chicago & its sister city to the north Milwaukee, are 2 of the most segregated cities in the USA racially. Scialism is not in itself extreme as it is checked by capitalism. One will have people living in the streets without socialism to provide shelter. And so it is as the forces of capitalism are winning currently with President You-Know-Who's SCOTUS appointments, tax laws benefiting the 1%, the unraveling of FDR's & LBJ's progress for the masses beginning with Raygun. He destroyed the only union that voted for him. & now the rank & file seem to vote for their own demise. What a foolish animal the sheep is......or the lemming.

A double whammy with gun control rulings.

Mooolah comments on Feb 17, 2022:

The NRA was supposed to have filed for bankruptcy. The position that irritates me is that the gun lobby & happy gun advocates offer NO solutions to rampant gun violence. All they care about is keeping their guns, fearfully suggesting that the government is coming to take their guns. They offer no solutions or suggestions on how to solve this issue. They block us from the discussion by immediately reverting to name calling & then preventing a conversation. 'Ya just can't reach these folks or have a meaningful dispute on a civil level.

Yes.

Gotta love the religious leaders.

Mooolah comments on Feb 16, 2022:

A religious leader with a yacht. All with tax payer money as the religious tax exemption permits. Initially to aid hospitals, mental institutions, food services etc. the tax exempt status permitted the government to remain out of social service issues. One's social security was a large family. One was on their own until FDR provided government assistance to the nation followed by LBJ. He took advantage of our tax system. The Hugh Hefner of religion. As a science fiction writer, his ambitious imagination coupled with his manipulative prowess, makes for another tax exempt cult. Clearwater Springs Florida will soon change its name, I predict. What a scam. https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2019/10/26/exp-scientology-buys-most-of-downtown-clearwater-florida.cnn

When was the last time you hung out under a starry night sky?

Mooolah comments on Feb 14, 2022:

As a member of Dark Skies.org. I am the only property owner who does not have night lights in my area. The area has a population increase of 30%. My property near Mesa Verde National Park enjoys its designation as a dark sky area & to see the night skies requires that I sleep under the stars. Urban children are especially impressed. & then there are the meteors.

Can you choose what to believe?

Mooolah comments on Feb 14, 2022:

There are plenty of choices. People seek them out all of the time. When I learned there was no Santa Claus, that was it for me tho I attended many religious institutions as a curiosity. Just don't sign their visitors book or your asking for a visit.

I'm thinking of starting a petition in response to the one currently circulating that's advocating ...

Mooolah comments on Feb 14, 2022:

I would read some other petitions & take some ideas from there. I would sign it tho I am not a Canadian citizen. I hate religious garb for myself, but its only an irritant when others do it. I respect their decision to wear it. Banning the garb is almost as bad as forcing one to don it.

Mooolah comments on Feb 14, 2022:

Why would you think that thousands of years is enough to evolve the mind of a hominid? Intellectual advancement is relative. Compared to the 13th century , yes maybe. We are not advanced compared to......? Religion serves a purpose. It provide community, doctrine, guide lines, ritual, satisfaction, absolution, continuity, control. Atheists are often described as grouchy, miserable, angry. Well yeah. We do not have the crutch of religion to explain the world. We only have reality & truth at the moment.

Religions inclusiveness/exclusiveness in eastern vs western religions.

Mooolah comments on Feb 14, 2022:

I might interject that Islam advocates marrying your enemy. Thusly there are many indigenous throughout the Spanish colonies that remain viable. The Spanish were heavily influenced by Islam via Morocco's access to Spain across the Straits of Gibraltar when Islam was dominant there. So where as the Brits removed people, their heavy influence on America resulted in the Indian Removal Act, & the development in the Boer War of the concentration camp, attributed to the Anglican. Is Islam a western or eastern religion? A meld of both perhaps but much more inclusive in some manner than others in this regards.

When was God born?

@Literatehiker Men especially need an outlet for their warlike tendencies. Otherwise we would be warring 24/7/365 as in the 19th century & before.

Religions inclusiveness/exclusiveness in eastern vs western religions.

Mooolah comments on Feb 12, 2022:

Some cultures are more inclusive than others because of resource access, social stability, ethnic diversity. When resources become scarce s strife results. social stability degrades, & ethnic strife ensues. So a balance of population to resource is imperative to social stability. Acquiring more is usually the choice instead of reducing the consumption load. Blame of difficult times tend toward those that are different from the majority. Human nature. Monotheism is the basis of" western" religion" ie Christain, Jehovah's witness, Mormonism, Islam. What is your life's ambition. Starting your own cult?

Mooolah comments on Feb 12, 2022:

Intellectual advancement & evolution have little to do with feelings & religion is is based on faith or institution. People have different needs which can be fulfilled with the intangible. I feel it so it is so. I believe it so it is so. Or the government requires that one appears to believe of lose their toenails. Dangerous beliefs. Dangerous system. Religion seems to fulfill a need that my teddy bear gives me. It is soothing & intractable in a chaotic world. Something to hold onto as we go down the drain. A world where everything is preplanned, god's will or beyond our control. The deeper question for me is if energy can not be destroyed only morphed, where does our consciousness go when our brain is dead? Religion has the answers to the unanswerable. Science does not & is fallible..

Here is an interesting article on whether or not we should stop calling addiction a disease.

Mooolah comments on Feb 12, 2022:

At last at last. I always thought it was a "dysfunction" not a disease, but language changes if it is living. Because of trauma the brain reacts & evolves (plasticity). This means it is damaged from trauma, both physical, & emotional. The chemistry changes & one develops depression, etc. & the area affected dysfunctions. Too much, to little serotonin, dopamine, adrenalin etc. Thusly susceptible people self medicate & boom. Can't live without gambling, shopping, artificial substances & natural ones, food, sugar, fast food, ice cream & ten the bad stuff. Anything that takes the edge off. Thank you President Clinton for requiring the insurance corporations to cover mental dysfunction.

Mooolah comments on Feb 12, 2022:

There is a massive amount if that has been completely ignored or erased via colonialism. This history is as exciting & rewarding as new science. Although I was the only Caucasoid student in the 1st African history course in my high school, I felt that Euros needed the education more than my black counterparts. They had the stories & experiences hand down from generation to generation. We have made progress now that the Jefferson family embraces the Hemming family. It is rewarding to me to have witnessed America making such progress. Where did the emancipated go to earn a living? Out west as cowboys. Or as waiters whereby tipping was created so as the proprietor did not have to pay them. Coachmen the same. Not one black cowboy was ever depicted on any western until Blazing Saddles, (perhaps). I remember down to country road near Toledo Ohio there was a house which had a tunnel leading from the banks of the Maumee river that led to the house. Freedom seekers were guided from & to the house on their run for Canada. This is a new field of archeology recently developing with LIDAR. Find the ruins of hiding places. Swimming the Mississippi with "only your skin" for the love of freedom. Unimaginable in todays gluttonous culture. My hometown of Evanston Illinois now provides reparation to African-American home owners for repairs & upgrades from cannabis sales. I may have to move back. Living in MAGAland is much too annoying. Speaking of language, the verb in English "to be" is very difficult. It is much easier to just to translate from African word "be" to "I be, you be, we be, it be they be". Some would call this "low class". I would call it "no class" as educating a slave was punishable by flogging or even death. That these emancipated American citizens have survived the odds stacked high against them, instills in me great respect. Especially for the women.

I can't look at any animal sites unless to donate money. I am sorry for your pain & I feel it also. Covid has left me with a dearth of pets. I am down to 1 parrot, 3 guinea pigs, 4 chickens & 1 dog. I may begin to take in insects as pets. PrEying mantis. Madagascar cockroach. Not very cuddly.
