If there is any afterlife we cannot know about it and with no evidence, other than hallucinations arising from LSD use, which I've had, is equally improbable. Despite this they feed such nonsense to their kids. It reminds me of the dead parrot joke from Monty Python.

Theresa_N comments on Sep 10, 2020:

It's a sad state of affairs in MN. An authorization from a doctor must be sent to the state. Then if your condition qualifies, and this is limited, they authorize you to use one of the half dozen or so dispensaries in the state to buy concentrate, pills, and solutions (lotions, oral solutions, etc.). No green/raw cannabis. This has been dictated by repuglicans and democRats in the legislature along with dictatorial health authorities. This has helped to sour me on democRats. I will vote Green this election. I have lived in this state and both repuglicans and democRats have been largely authoritarian. From the time of Hubert Humphrey and Mondale, establishment democRats have been mostly conservative like biden. I have little in common with them, being progressive since childhood except for a brief period while married. I reclaim my progressive identity and reject democRats and repuglicans.

Good exploration of the signs of tRumps symptoms of unfitness for office. I'd like to see a full exam of both tRump and biden before the election, it should have gone on before the nominating conventions. There is very little evidence in this interview regarding biden but tRump comes off as clearly pathological. This does nothing to convince me that bidens positions on policy are not neo-liberal in nature while just reinforcing that tRump is unfit for office.

Just saw a movie about a German author whose book featured mercy killing who was elevated to a high rank in the nazi regime, without any malice on his part, to his dismay at the uses it was put. He had no religious convictions. There are many "good" people placed in situations where they do "evil" in the tech industries.
