So much blind belief in lies.

" so many Xtians posting hateful things after the S/C ruling"  -- oh yeah prove it.

"Secession was not about slavery"  -- hmmm SC and Missippi articles of secession beg to disagree, in fact Texas was the only state that stated good reasons other than slavery.  Many of the ones I read didn't give any coherent reason just said "we are out of here" but 2 of 3 that stated reasoning spelled out keeping slavery as a right and  a couple others say the Republican (abolitionist) party that has replaced the Whigs is invalid.

 Yes almost all of the Southern men who joined the Confederate army were only fighting to defend hearth and home and I'm good with making that distinction.  But nope, the confederate politicians and their media agents do not get that pass.

Marijuana, grape seeds ..... will kill cancer and all kinds of stuff and GMO food kills butterflies and poisons us.     Not so much.  Marijuana is useful for some medical stuff and I sure wish it was being studied and purified for that use.  And as a libertarian leaning person -- go ahead and toke if you want.  I'm not in favor of government protecting you from falling for bullshit that the MJ does not have a lot of the same tars and carcinogens as tobacco but when you copy/paste junk science crap you are not helping make the case that people can look after themselves.

But then I think a huge factor in that is that we have set up so much government nannying that people have regressed towards being naive children.  I do think if you take away the safety net people will learn to balance and use the guard rails etc.

 and I am mean enough to think that if they cannot then it is a good thing if life leaves them too destitute to pass on their genes or even if cruel nature kills them off unless family, clan, or "sisters of charity" take them in.
