Bow your head with great respect
We are living in quite amazing times: we can choose religion that suits us: light or heavy, different "comics" to read, even "traditions" and dietary regimen. Even more - we can set our own pan-theism (the Ultimate Creator) which is condemn by almost all religions. The best example is our beloved locals who have their "red corner" with four-faced idol, Chinese God of War on the floor and sporadic visits to Catholic cathedral on Christian holidays. Why bet only on one, when you can bet on 3? Looks like casino, isn't? I'd say that religion is a tumor in your mind - feeds on your thoughts, altering your rational behavior and thoughts and messing up with decision making. And that is malign tumor ought to be removed. Atheist-shmateist, Agnostic-shmostick <<< those are just labels in a word salad. Honestly I'm afraid of religious people - they might be up to something unexpected and irrational. PS: unless you make religion as your source of income - that's another story. -

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker Calls for Mobilization Against "Madman" Trump's Authoritarianism
The Biden era moratorium was hardly some crazy illegal scheme.... It was considered by and even endorsed by Congress at one point, was arguably supported by a prior law, and later one version of the moratorium was upheld by a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling involving the Trump era court, as the NYT article below recounts. But later, a divided high court shifted its opinion and their ultimate ruling brought the moratorium to an end... And that's the way the legal and government systems are supposed to work -- unlike the nonsense with Trump and his administration's open defiance of court rulings. Supreme Court Ends Biden’s Eviction Moratorium The ruling followed political and legal maneuvering by the administration to retain protections for tenants. It puts hundreds of thousands at risk of being put out of their homes. Published Aug. 26, 2021Updated Nov. 7, 2021 WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected the Biden administration’s latest moratorium on evictions, ending a political and legal dispute during a public health crisis in which the administration’s shifting positions had subjected it to criticism from adversaries and allies alike. ... The administration’s legal maneuvering might have failed, but it bought some time for tenants threatened with eviction. In unusually candid remarks this month, President Biden said that was part of his calculus in deciding to proceed with the new moratorium, which was set to expire Oct. 3. ... Many states and localities, including New York and California, have extended their own moratoriums, providing another layer of protection for some renters. In some places, judges, aware of the potential for large numbers of people to be put out on the street even as the pandemic intensifies again, have said they would slow-walk cases and make greater use of eviction diversion programs. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/26/us/eviction-moratorium-ends.html PS - A national measure to protect tenants from COVID era evictions hardly belongs in the same discussion or category as leading an attempted U.S. government insurrection or wrongfully deporting lawful U.S. residents to foreign country prisons. -
