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"

The wing nut right is now proposing a 3/5ths compromise where parents own the votes of their minor children. A self own on multiple levels. The first being right on its face…the second related to their culture war fears. They believe that they’re being out-bred and replaced in their own country. What will giving additional parent controlled votes to the invaders accomplish….in their minds?
Also, researchers have documented a war between chimps and gorillas over resources. It had been noticed by primate researchers before, but, for whatever reason, the scholarly consensus wanted to insist that other primates just don’t do that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What will giving additional parent controlled votes to the invaders accomplish….in their minds? That’ll be tricky to accomplish. If it is agreed that children have votes that can be cast by proxy, then they can’t be denied other rights and obligations of citizenship, such as entering into contracts, marrying, and military service. Can - open. Worms - everywhere. Boru

More fun news. Big ag is having a bumper year. Economists wonder how long the scarcity related boom will last. Meanwhile, the most profitable use for productive land anywhere in the us is a trailer park.
Increasing production…which very much could be done, drives down the profiteering margins, you see. Predatory housing arrangements are a better use of land. We’re not just indecent, we’re sick.
