We haven't seen this since the Red Scare.<br /><br />Witch Hunting, Pogroms, and Inquisitions all have one thing in common: finding moral failing/evil in individuals based on premises which are later determined to be inadequate or ridiculous.<br /><br />Currently sexual misconduct is seen as monstrous and intolerable, an irredeemable moral failing, even if only a single instance. Any manner of evidence is admitted and the conclusion is always foregone: guilty as charged. <br /><br />Women and men are equally vulnerable to charges of this sort. Women teachers who touch a student, and sex-workers, are reviled. Men are arrogant, exploitative dogs; women are manipulative greedy sluts.<br /><br />They are all people trying to meet their needs, confused and bewildered beings lost in the world; a perplexing maze of urges, signals, and opportunities. Jesus forgives. Would that be asking to much of ourselves to do the same? <br /><br />The premise for this latest Inquisition will be seen as inadequate and ridiculous even 50 years hence. Too late for the victims.

It is a verified thing.<br /><br />Being that so, that says something about whether the future is already extant. It could be the case. <br /><br />Likewise, there is allegedly extant all that was, the Akashic Record. <br /><br />Time plays only forward, and this can be described as "mere" physics. It is a property of entropy that time plays only forward, and God apparently had entropy set that way, possibly to optimize his enjoyment of all that was, is, and will be, by sampling a portion at a time. There is a possibility it could all be set to play backwards as well, or stopped/paused. Think of it like a tape deck. <br /><br />Back to the Ganja. It has been nice tarrying here a while.

A true humanism recognizes this likeness.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-67213729758332576282018-10-04T10:36:54.801-07:002018-10-04T10:36:54.801-07:00Monsters & Monstrosities:

And this disgusting carnage is all on you, O ancient one, Dianne Feinstein, and your self-important, preposterous colleagues. You were desperate to keep Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court so you abandoned any semblance of decency and respect. You travestied the processes of the United States Senate for the sake of a cynical grab at power. I’d say that you should be ashamed of yourselves, but, like the thugs that you are, you have no shame. You believe the acquisition of power is a magical antidote to shame." <br /><br />Gagdad Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911613613759942690noreply@blogger.com
