It is rare that a mentally sound person is capable of hating for no reason, their reasons maybe mistaken, maybe unsound, maybe lies, maybe stupid or even hateful and based on prejudice. They are however, reasons none the less. Likewise unconditional love is never without reason. Therefore be assured unconditional love is not the answer to erroneously motivated hate, the answer is logical and reasonable education.

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 13, 2022:

James George Frazer in his seminal work The Golden Bough sugests that there is good reason to think priests actually came about before gods. Priests were the original meteorologist and scientists who noticed the patterns of nature and so could be seen as Rain makers, predictors of the the seasons and weather and knew when the animal prey would come back after hibernation. Sometimes their would be a freak weather pattern and their predictions would be wrong in such cases they needed a scapegoat and that was an angry god, who was displeased and so was withholding bounty until atonement was made, by organised worship and sacrifice, so long as it was not of the priest.

THE ACTUAL SOLUTION? STOP BEING FRIGHTENED OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN How? 1)Make it obvious that ALL laws Apply to ALL People and and law breakers will be prosecuted objectively based only on THEIR ACTIONS and INTENT. Be in laws defensive and assertive as a society not aggressive. 2) In school teach all actual history warts and all acknowledge it. Then learn from it by seeing why it is no longer the case and how it was corrected or improved upon. 3) Install a meritocracy in all work places where positions and promotions are based on only results and FAIR competition NOT on quotas. 4) Stop promoting violence and fear as ideals and virtues, instead promote positive values for all, happiness, love, tolerance and above all kindness.

Number 2 seems to have been predicted in Tom Sharpe's 1971 Novel "Riotess Assembly". In this book an over zealous Police commandant is convinced there is a terrorist cell operating in his city and so send undercover officers from various precincts to infiltrate the cell and sabotage it. Unfortunately none of the officers can find the cell but do find each other and when they report back that there is a cell in the city but it is not actually doing anything, the Police commandant orders them to urge the rest of the gang to actually commit an atrocity so he can arrest them. This of course leads to several police officers attacking the city in a plot so insane the Police commandant does not believe it is going to happen and that his moles have been discovered are being fed bogus info. Until that is a flock of Ostriches are stolen from the city zoo, fitted with booby traps and begin exploding all over the city.

Yes there are several book about this, Alois Hitler, Aldolf's paternal half brother moved to the UK in the pre first world war days and married a Liverpool woman named Bridgid (or Briget by some sources) Elizabeth Dowling an Irish catholic woman. Adolf Stayed with them between 1913 and 1914 when he was still aspiring to be an artist, When war broke out Adolf returned to Germany to serve in the Millitary and Alois and Briget emigrated to the USA where they settled and started a family changing their name to Shicklegruber Alois paternal Grandmother's maiden name. A wise decision as things turned out. Their son served in WW2 a s a navy seaman and almost died in combat, he later married and had two sons of his own but never told them who their Uncle was. In the 1980s a Journalist tracked them down and told them of their Great Uncle, one of the nephews who was a serving FBI agent confirmed it and both swore an oath never to have children, changed their names again and vanished, so that the Hitler bloodline would come to an end. They could still be alive but would be at least in their 70s now.

LenHazell53 comments on Feb 6, 2022:

I was for a long time in favour of the death penalty, but over time became more and more convinced that it was to open to abuse. The final nail in the coffin (so to speak) for me was the discovery in the 1990s that perhaps the most famous murder and execution case ever, that of Doctor Hawley Harvey Crippen in 1910 turned out to be a a miscarriage of Justice and one that has still yet to be set to rights. Why? Because the reputation of a great British politician would be ruined . Between 1909 and 1911 Winston Spencer Churchill was home secretary (what today would be called Justice Minister) of the UK. As such he was handed by Crippen's lawyer a letter sent from the USA by Mrs. Crippen (the alleged victim) admitting she had deserted her husband and was alive and well, living in Chicago (her home town) and in a bigamous marriage with her lover. Churchill who was "busy" (for busy read Drunk, he was all ready an alcoholic) placed the letter in his pocket and promised to read it later. The letter was found four days later by Churchills valet who filed it in Mr Churchill's private papers where it remained until Churchill's death in 1965. Then it was sealed with all his other private papers until 1995 when they all became public under the so called 30 years rule. The letter was examined and declared genuine. Mention of the letter at Crippen's trial was made, and its existence was denied by the Home secretary who claimed never to have seen it and claimed not to have possession of any such item, nor did he recall ever being shown it. Crippen still swearing his innocence was convicted in 1910 for the murder of his wife, based on blood stains scraps of skin and hair found on torn clothing found in Crippen's cellar. DNA analysis of said clothing in 2012 proved conclusively the blood was from a male, probably Crippen himself. Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged until dead at 9am on November 23rd, 1910 and was buried on the prison grounds. All appeals for a posthumous pardon have been refused on the grounds that it would unnecessarily tarnish the reputation of "a great man"

Tenpenny is a very interesting name. Though some reputable sources claim it is from the name of the village of Tupigny in Flanders, teh more likely explaination is that it evolved from the much more common Twopenny (pronounced Tuppeny) a name of a lady of ill repute relying on the similarity Tuppenny and Tupper a person who makes a living by hiring out breeding stock to farmers for Tupping (Insemination). Hence the Victorian expression a "Tuppeny ha'penny whore" (two and a half penny prostitute) At some point apparently some one person decided their services were worth more than Twopennies and upped the price to ten pennies. incidentally Dr. Tenpenny’s degree is not an M.D. it is a D.O. qualifying her only as an Osteopath and so has NO authority to speak on immunology, epidemiology or quantum entanglements
