When I Learn Something New

There Is A Historic Strain Of Dominion Theology Which Says, Taking Its References From The Psalms, That Man Is Made Just A Little Lower Than God, And That We Are The Crown Of Creation. That Interpretation Has Come At The Expense Of The One That Says When God, In The Story Of Noah, Intervened To Save Human Life Against The Flood, Against The Acts Of Nature, He Did Not Stop With Human Beings. He Made Sure That Every Kind Of Animal Was Represented Twice On That Ark.

Capitalism Is Out Of Control, Thanks In No Small Part To Citizens United, The Supreme Court Decision Which Said That A Corporation Is A Person, Even Though It Doesn't Eat, Drink, Make Love, Sing, Raise Children Or Take Care Of Aging Parents. You Can't Have A People's Democracy As Long As Corporations Are Considered People.

The Rich Today Are Richer, There Are More Of Them, They Have Round-the-clock Propaganda Factories In Rupert Murdoch's Empire And Rightwing Talk Radio, And Corporate Media Have Their Back.

I Can Tell You That The Job Of Trying To Tell The Truth About People Whose Job It Is To Hide The Truth Is About As Complicated And Difficult As Trying To Hide It In The First Place.
