Archeology provides no validation for Passover. It is a myth with no actual historical basis. The infanticide never happened, but it certainly speaks poorly of Judaism. It's a grisly story meant to provide cohesion within the cult. The story itself is absurd with many contradictions. Supposedly god sanctions the infanticide of the Egyptian children. But per the OT, god promotes or commits mass murder elsewhere, sometimes as fiction, sometimes probably based on an actual event. Ugly, primitive folklore.

Trump refuses to call Putin's actions in Ukraine war crimes.

racocn8 comments on Apr 15, 2022:

Just try to imagine what would have happened if Trump stayed in office. Trump would not have sent any additional weapons to Ukraine unless forced to by Congress and, under the circumstances, that wouldn't happen. So Ukraine would have fallen and Putin would be looking for his next victim. And let's not forget that Trump arranged the withdrawal from Afghanistan before Biden got into office. Trump SHOULD get most of the credit for that fiasco instead of Biden. Finally, where do you think we'd be with the vaccine? I'm pretty sure Trump would have found a way to screw that up too.

racocn8 comments on Apr 15, 2022:

Your best bet is to visit the CDC website. Covid continues to do serious harm to a few, but AFAIK the vaccinations reduce severity. There's no guarantee. If one gets a massive exposure, the illness can be correspondingly severe before the immune response kicks in. The vaccine has a low level of side effects, such as tinnitus. Being at a low level does not mean zero. At this point, the pandemic could be nearly over, but, as we've seen, variants keep popping up. Thus, your chances of infection are reduced; the balance between protection versus risk of side effects MAY be closer than they were when Omicron first appeared. Get information from a reliable source because you make the decision. Your risk of infection is certainly higher in regions where 'people' have chosen not to get vaccinated at all. Vaccination does not prevent illness, and if you get it, you can infect others. You may get it, and spread it to others without knowing.

Whatever Trump says now, we will never forget how he sucked up to Putin during his time in office.

However, in language, usage dictates the rules whether I like it or not. For contrast, I resent trying to understand Shakespeare. It may be quaint, but I much prefer clarity. Still, it is instructive to see how much change occurs. And early American documents where the 's' looks like an 'f'. Yikes!

Is It Ethical To Use Amazon? | Current Affairs

racocn8 comments on Apr 13, 2022:

Amazon may be among the best examples of evil that we are compelled to subsidize. We could stop driving cars, and stop eating meat or using leather, and many other things. We live in a deeply, thoroughly corrupt culture, from religion to politics to capitalism. If we should manage to survive, we might find a few solutions to the rampant corruption. The corruption is so pervasive that, at this juncture, corruption could arguably be given priority over climate change, meaning simply that both problems are comparably existential. In the specific case of Amazon, Bezos should be classified as a corrupt kleptocrat and his assets seized. In talks, he seems rational and even somewhat humanitarian, but his actions and policies say otherwise. In my utopia, companies should not be able to attain more that 33% market share, and exceeding that, and/or individuals pocketing more than 10 M would be deemed criminally immoral. I favor an extra-judicial lottery to persuade people of that. I am very happy to see what is happening to Russia's kleptocrats, and a similar attitude should be levied against our own. Put simply, kleptocracy is a threat to national security and species survival, and that provides all the justification needed to enact ultimate penalties. None of the wealthy are indispensable, and you can be sure that they don't have the scruples to protect us.

It is insanity that the Republicans cannot, and will not, grasp how catastrophic the wrong leader can be. How can America be trusted with nuclear weapons if it is so liable to make bad decisions? For certain, no nation anywhere should trust America, and some of what is going on (in Europe as well as elsewhere) reflects that.
