I remember reading truly fascinating autobiography called "Dry Guillotine" by René Belbenoît who escaped from prisons in French Guiana. And what is most fascinating is the rainforest that, for prisoners, was an impenetrable wall, but for people that lived there, natives, it was like nothing. Like being in their own living room while prisoners died from being lost and failing to find food. So that contrast is just mind blowing.
It's looking like Trump never is going to get around to building that wall on their northern border. So what the hell? If we gotta keep it, might as well make it useful.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
