The majority of peoples dietary info and choices comes from the way food manufacturers and vendors market and sell their products. Education won't cut it. The govt would actually have to step in and start to subsidize certain foods (not food manufacturers) and subsidize stores that sell those ...
Moravian replies on Nov 6, 2019:
That's why the govt must take action. Sweets have been removed from checkout aisles in supermarkets here which is a start.
Jamie Oliver the celebrity cook had a campaign to try to make school meals healthier and I saw the poor guy in tears when he was obstructed by apathetic schools at every turn.
Obviously there are no votes in trying to keep people healthy.

Commentary: Recall how America built a transcontinental railroad in 6 years?
Moravian comments on Nov 4, 2019:
You are ignoring the fact that the railways were mostly built by Chinese labourers who were paid starvation wages.
Moravian replies on Nov 4, 2019:
@altschmerz Thanks. An interesting review. I have never seen a batman film although I know a bit about the comic book character. I saw it compared more like Taxi Driver than Batman and I suppose it was a sort of fantasy vigillante story with mental illness and social inequality thrown in. Brilliant acting by Joquim Pheonix.
I think it made a political statement as well. The riot scene near the end with burning cars was very like a news Item I saw on TV later in the evening in Barcelona. so I can see why the authorities were a bit concerned about it sparking civil unrest.

Looking from accross the pond it is apparent that Americans idea of socialism is quite different from that in other parts of the world. In the UK Bernie would be just slightly left of centre but many Americans hear the word "socialism" and immediately think of the old USSR,
Bernie and his ilk may be too extreme for many though and the shift from the current extreme right govt may have to be a more gradual thing.

Hebrews (plural noun)
a member of an ancient people living in what is now Israel and Palestine and, according to biblical tradition, descended from the patriarch Jacob, grandson of Abraham. After the Exodus (c.1300 bc) they established the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and their scriptures and traditions form the basis of the Jewish religion.
So some Egyptians may use the word in a derogatory sense. So what ?.

@Metahuman I have read Ishmael and other books by Daniel Quinn but I can't remember much about it. May pick it up again.The only quote I can remember from him is about the environment being like a brick wall and every time we kill of a species it is like taking a brick from the wall. We can do this for years but eventually the wall will come tumbling down. Sums it up nicely

Apart from possibly the Hindu gods the only one that really matters is YAWEH the Jewish god.
I have read the first books of the old testament in some detail and it is obvious to me that the polytheist Jews adopted monotheism gradually after exile in Babylonia and used this god to justify their warlike and aquisitive behaviour.
Christianity is just a Jewish cult that got lucky and Islam is just a mishmash of Judaim and Christianity with lots of draconian rules added.

Moravian replies on Oct 8, 2019:
@Joanne What is a god ? A supernatural being that controls certain aspects of the natural world. We know nothing before the big bang so if it was instigated by a superior force as some people believe, and this force does not interfere in the workings of the universe as we now know that the universe operates by certain physical laws, it is not a god.
We do not know exactly how life started on earth but we know how it evolved from single celled organism without any interference from any supernatural force so we know that there is no god involved.
So we know gods do not exist;
Anyway I dislike being called an Atheist as it is a label applied by believers who are in my mind illogical and irrational
