@eric Most of the truly horrific things throughout history have been entirely legal under the laws of the time.

So yes, so very true.

@eric this is how I feel about Thanksgiving and how it came to be

The fact it is still celebrated really bares badly on the soul of the world

@eric 5-0 is basically a samurai class installed to hurt the peasantry. Cities are becoming the modern day feudalist castles. The politicians at the top are vexxed with debouchery and break the law with seeming impunity.

I think the Hispanic and Black community would fair best going suburban or rual. I'd prefer the latter.

@eric This reminds me of a section I highlighted while reading Letter from a Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King recently. I’d like to share it.

“We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers.”

@eric “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal loaves of bread”

Anatole France

“When, in the course of human development, existing institutions prove inadequate to the needs of man, when they serve merely to enslave, rob, and oppress mankind, the people have the eternal right to rebel against, and overthrow, these institutions.

The mere fact that these forces inimical to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are legalized by statute laws, sanctified by divine rights, and enforced by political power, in no way justifies their continued existence.”
