The UN cola
The most impressive thing about this letter is that Peter Betts isn't a woman's name.
What's the point of technology and affluence when we do nothing about global warming, and, as Gelbspan says, it may be too late already?
I dunno. What's the point of smiling when we do nothing about my toe ache?
Now this piece from Cornelius U. Morgan is more impressive in his thoughts about his grandson going off to war (I assume).
I'm not concerned as much about the real possibility of him losing his life or limb in these wars but that he will be condemned to hell for all eternity for merely participating.
Gee, thanks, gramps!
Ron Weissenberger feels bad about himself, so in order to feel better, he wants to attack white men.
Too bad Ms. Young didn't live the life of a slave or the life of a woman who was denied the right to vote before the 19th Amendment came into being all the time this country was faking democracy.
Uh... neither did you, chief.
This nation was established by rich white men who perpetrated a holocaust upon Native Americans via guns and germ warfare, enslaved and brutalized millions of Africans to work their land, and denied the basic right to vote to women for 144 years. This is democracy?
Yes, it is (note present tense). Any other questions?
I, as a white man, feel that a little reverse discrimination is in order for many years to come. Perhaps it just might make up for the crimes against humanity manifested by Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, et al.
Oh, sure, that'll make up for it. Because, you see, since discrimination was so bad, discrimination will make things better. And then broad intergenerational racial groups will be balanced in terms of suffering. Meanwhile, actual people, who are not intergenerational racial groups, may see things differently.
