We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.
Our parents pay exorbitant taxes so we can be public-school kids. We have sports and stuff but mainly school is about important civics lessons.
We even get to go on these expensive field trips in nice buses, burning up expensive energy and making a carbon footprint, but it’s okay because we are special and it’s okay to break the rules when you are saving the country. And besides, it’s “education.” And “making a difference.”
This week we learned to hate thoughts. We also learned to hate prayers. We also learned to hate Republicans. Best of all we learned to hate guns.
We also played a game called “activism.” We form ourselves into an angry, bitter, hateful, mob. And then we perform these emotional tantrums in front of the media, and in front of weak, timid, easily-manipulated legislators. Civics is fun. We don’t get in trouble for screaming out hate. We get school credit for it. Our teachers say we get our way every time.
On this most sacred day of the Christian faith, a US president who claims to be a Christian issues a threat to a nation of 94 million people, including over 500,000, Christians—threatening to commit war crimes (pursuant to Geneva Convention) against their civilian infrastructure.
"Behold the puerile, B-movie gangster style of his prose and his use of the word “F..kin’”—now the most overused word in the English language and the clearest expression of our degenerate culture.
"Upon seeing this post, I immediately thought of Madison’s reflections on the evil of war.
"The same malignant aspect . . . may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both.
"On this Easter Sunday, I pray that the innocent civilians of Iran will be spared from the sadistic and demented wrath of “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

This week, the US President gave an apparently delusional update of the Iran conflict. Iran's military is decimated, and it's President is asking for a cease fire, he reported.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman immediately rejected that. State broadcaster IRIB quoted Esmail Baghaei as saying Trump's statements were false and unfounded.
Trump attributed the request for a ceasefire to Iran's "New Regime President."
On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the US war against his country in an open letter to the people of the United States on Wednesday, calling it an absurd operation that is costly for their nation.
Within hours of Mr. Trump's analysis of a destroyed Iranian military, Iran fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, demonstrating Tehran’s continued ability to attack even as US President Donald Trump claimed the threat from the country was nearly eliminated and predicted the war would end soon.
In Mr. Trump's speech to the nation, Paul...
Today's assymetrical warfare: Iran's cheap munitions are taking out American's most expensive aircraft.
One internet observer:
"Iran, still using their pawns, while Israel and the US out there, with only their King n Queen left. Who will fall first?
"5 pawns and a king versus a king and queen in a chess end game, the side with the 8 pawns always wins. 5 pawns is enough. That’s standard.
"In a way, you could call it asymmetrical warfare."
