    there was an adulterous affair followed by a suicide followed by a murder up the road from my house last week.

    being that adultery is spelled out in the 10 Commandments --- should we assume this situation (by your logic) as an indictment against generational entrenched Christianity ?


    I don't !!

    Anymore than I see the above example an indictment against Islam or immigration

    Was the murder committed because conversion didn't happen?

    British man sends a good letter to MPs encouraging changes to assisted suicide laws after he and his wife were investigated for their planned trip to Switzerland to end his life. His wife could have faced 14 years in prison. They said they were very hurt by the police questioning but they declined to charge her which was the right thing to do. This is what I expect from police. Did she breal the law. Absolutely. Is it in the publics interest or anyway endangering the public? No. Prosecution would only serve to terrorize an innocent family.

    World Health Organization recommends rescheduling marijuana to the lowest category due to its proven medicinal value. This is a 180 on a position they have held for 60 years. The excuses are dwindling for prohibitionists.

    Epileptic girl has her medicine confiscated entering the UK. This goes to the very heart of why I hate government. It absolves people of any sense of morality or right and wrong. No matter what they ask you to do "I was just doing my job" is a legitimate excuse. Remember Catalonia trying a non binding independence vote? The government owns you. They own your children. They own your property. And they have a monopoly on violence.

    I’d be curious to know how many times the US has put plans in motion to take him out only for the Chinese to persuade them not to.

    Boris Johnson is facing private prosecution for lies about Brexit. I had no idea about private prosecution. After looking it up it did exist in the US for some time. Go figure the case where the Supreme Court buried it was after some prisoners got arrest warrants for 4 guards beating them during a riot. Leeke v Timmerman. That case affirmed the precedent from another case in which an unwed mother got an arrest warrant for the father of her child for not supporting it. The Supreme Court ruled that convicting him would result in incarceration and she still would not get monetary support so therefore they say she has no interest in which to bring the charges. It sounds like a good way to hold police accountable when LE refuses to prosecute but like most things, I think it would end up being perverted by police to abuse citizens.

    New Mexican President calls for decriminilization of all drugs in Mexico following a report by the IDCP which ismade up of 170 non governmental organizations that documented the unmitigated disaster that is the UNs 10 year plan to eliminate illicit drugs by 2020. Instead of ending the drug trade it is now at record levels with 450,000 overdose deaths worldwide in 2015 and more than 71,000 last year in the US alone.
