  1. The ex-con man “Catch Me if You Can,” Frank Abagnale, says that the two signs you are being conned, is that people desperately want your money, and they want your personal information. Now, that is religion, in a nutshell. The confessional was used to find out which sins you committed, so that you would be tied to the church forever, to keep on confessing those new sins, and meanwhile, the hierarchy was bleeding you of all your hard-earned money. If the religious word “sin,” was replaced with the non-religious word “behavior,” that thought would bring you back to earth with a thud, and you would no longer believe that a god existed, that was spying on you, to judge your every thought and deed. We should be taught that we are born whole, and that, concerning how we treat others, the onus is on us.

  2. Those Catholic members of clergy (in that era) believed that in order to save the souls of the Natives, it was their duty to God, to convert the Natives to Catholicism, and that converting the children, was the best place to start. Religion is what caused the problem to exist in the first place. It's known as "Missionary" work, and many devotees of divisive religions suffered, and many still suffer, the same mentality of, "God wants us to give others the good news of his truth." All the groups that believe they know the one and only truth, are still on "missions" to convert each other, or die trying. How sad, that only human animals suffer from such outdated thought processes. If we believed (as did the scientist Stephen Hawking, before he died,) that the universe always existed, we would then conclude, that the universe never was created. That mentality would do away with urges to indoctrinate others to one's own personal version of spiritual truth. Humans would still harm and kill each other, but no more would they be motivated do it, in the name of serving a holy god.

  3. These riots are not about vaccinations. They are about people wanting to overthrow governments. It's the Donald Trump mentality, that continues on and on and on, albeit Donald found out that when he tried to encourage his devotees to be vaccinated, how they even booed him. He found out that those thugs were just wanting to riot, no matter what the reason.

  4. Angry people are never polite. That is not politics. That is simply human nature. The term should not be "political correctness." It should be "polite correctness." The word "political" makes the "government" the focus, and the supposed culprit of all the dissention, whereas the word "polite correctness,” puts the responsibility where it belongs, which is on each individual. I suggest that we should always be asking ourselves ... "Am I being polite, or am I a big part of the problem?"

  5. Concerning that frightening mentality of “government take-over,” change of laws always result in panic concerning a certain segment of society. For those of us that agree with the Covid-19 vaccination, it is anything but government takeover. It is just plain common sense to willingly take the vaccination. When seat belts became mandatory, many people were complaining about government take-over, albeit those seat belts saved countless lives. I suggest it will be the same with the vaccinations, that will in turn also save countless lives.

  6. It's not about the vaccine! It's the Donald Trump mentality of, "I won't cooperate with any government rules, unless they are my own personal rules."
