A simple reminder of the unimaginable ocean of wealth in which we swim.

  Yeah. Today it would have to be about the elastic band no longer holding. Or a pebble or an untied shoe.

I like wearing garters — and stockings — but my wife doesn’t approve.

Again this is alienating to all of us who are not Christian. I agree that humans are flawed and messy but still absolutely reject the concept of original sin as described in Christianity.

Damn, that's something to chew on.

Alternatively, we could structure fines,etc. as thus:

If there is a victim (i.e. a citizen or their next of kin), all fines, etc. go to the victim as compensation.

If there is no victim (and the state can not be a victim), then all fines/proceeds* are sent to the highest possible level of government, which collects it all and then evenly divides it back to other budgets. So if CA manages to collect $10M in seized funds and property, that $10M gets pooled with all other fines, etc. from around the US, then evenly divided and sent back to the states as part of education grants, or something not related to criminal justice.

That's not as 'clean' as you suggest, but it creates enough separation that the incentive to steal from the populace is minimal.

*Property may not be kept by LE, it must be put up for public auction, with the proceeds going to the federal pool.

Hey maybe so!

I know being woke means never having to admit an error. Sadly as more of a rationalist I'm required to wait for the investigation before I reach any firm conclusions about Mr. Hasson.

Its times like this when I am reminded of the wisdom of Andrew Klavern, who wrote:

“Why do so many leftists find themselves getting tangled in charges of racism? It’s because leftism and racism are two stupid philosophies that share the same central mistake: the idea that some people are good. They’re not. None of us is righteous; no, as the Bible says, not one. The concept of original sin is not just a central truth of Christianity, it is *the* central truth of any honest, happy, forgiving life. Think of yourself: are you who you want to be? Are you the best possible version of yourself? If you answered “yes”, congratulations: you’re a sociopath. Sane people wake up in the middle of the night, full of a sense of moral inadequacy and regret, because they are morally inadequate and have done things worth regretting.

Food for thought, gentlepersons, food for thought!

I think what the candidates like Harris did, was merely noting the report fit a pattern.

Even though it is politically incorrect to say so.

If he had testified against two random white men, he would have been well within his rights to do so, and they would have been responsible.

This is not a difficult concept. All white men are racists. All of them, without exception. Because racism is about systemic power structures, not the beliefs of any one particular individual. Likewise, white men are members of, supporters of, and perpetrators of at least two oppressor classes. They as class members ARE responsible for hate crimes, regardless of the "facts" of any particular situation.

When Editors hear the Word 'Culture'...

Todd VanDerWerff, a cultural critic and journalist, says (somewhat unsurprisingly) that we need cultural critics and journalists, a group of writers that have been let go from numerous media outlets over the past few years as all media coverage is gradually sucked into the Trump Singularity. — Rufus F.
