    The way I look at the legal system is that the richer side sends battalion after battalion of lawyers at you in human wave attacks until you are overwhelmed.

    Alaska is the closet thing we have to Siberia (literally, it’s just a couple of miles away and Sarah Palin can see it from her front porch).

    There’s plenty of empty space for gulags and concentration camps to be established there so as not to upset the sensibilities of us righteous citizens of the lower 48. Out of sight out of mind.

    Even the Third Reich established their concentration camps mostly in the hinterlands so as not to upset ordinary German citizens who didn’t want to know that they existed.

    Binary thinking is that there are only two possibilities: to be or not to be, zero / one, on / off and most importantly right / wrong. In between is no-man’s land.

    We will never resolve our differences if we each stay entrenched in our positions. However to go “over the top” means to take a lot of fire.

    Today is Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday, if you prefer.

    On this day we remember the Last Supper which was a celebration of the Passover. This year, due to a quirk in the calendar Passover is not near Easter as it usually is.

    Passover is the celebration of the Jews Exodus from Egypt. An important part of the celebration is the seder or dinner where the history is recalled and children are educated. It is intended to be a family celebration, especially an extended family celebration. In some congregations, it is also a community celebration

    We know that Jesus’ mother, Mary, was in town with him as well as some of the other women in his following. Were they also present at the Last Supper? Were there children at the last supper and did they steal the afikomen and hide it and bargain with Jesus to get it back?. Leonardo da Vinci didn’t think so.

    Good one. I took only one course on Law in graduate school. I learned most of what I needed to learn about the legal system: Justice is proportional to the amount of money you have.

    You are confusing the Jesus of the Gospels with the Jesus of the Evangelical Christians. Their Jesus is the Jesus of the Book of Revelation.

    That Jesus comes down from heaven on a white horse in white robes (and possibly white hood) with a flaming sword in one hand and maybe a flaming cross in the other to seek out RETRUBUTION on sinners. And as “everybody knows” (to use one of Trump’s infallible sources) only MAGAs are true believers of the one God chose to be born to save America.

    Evangelical Christians will be raptured away and leave the rest of us behind.

    An Earth without MAGAs. Now that sounds like heaven to me.

    Both my sons were perpetual “but why” machines. It’s a critical step in critical thinking.
