The moral arc of the universe

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

In other words, there may be setbacks and evil times, but good will eventually prevail.

Would you characterize that as an observation or an assumption?

Believe the Science?

P&C drink Southern Belle, an imperial brown ale, then discuss problems in science.

It would be nice to believe that we can rely on science. Scientists are supposed to be dispassionate, purely rational people who follow the evidence where it leaves. At least that’s the mythology.

Science is as influenced by politics, ideology, ambition, egos, trends and fads as anything else. So how are we supposed to “trust the science”? And what is “the science” anyway?

I hope Biden has more luck with these Portland idiots

Antifa in Seattle and Portland Smash Property, Oppose Biden, Police: ‘We Are Ungovernable’

Far-left activists vandalized buildings and clashed with police in the Pacific Northwest on Jan. 20, voicing their opposition to the government, law enforcement, and the freshly sworn-in President Joe Biden, with some carrying signs reading, “We are ungovernable.” …

“We don’t want Biden. We want revenge for police murders, imperialist wars, and fascist massacres,” read a banner they marched under, while others carried a banner saying, “We are not governable,” which was dotted with anarchy symbols.

There’s a chance Biden might be able to have better luck with these people, since the media will be on his side. I wish him luck.

My letter to Kohl’s

This is about the recent decision by Kohl’s corporate to stop carrying My Pillow products because you want to be woke.

I despise this woke blacklisting stuff, and I believe it is very bad for the country. If you don’t reverse your decision and apologize, I will have to re-evaluate shopping at Kohl’s.

Is that what you want? Do you want your customers to decide whether they do business with you based on your products and services, or do you want us to apply a political litmus test? Are we going to have Red America and Blue America stores? What’s next, Red America and Blue America credit cards?

This is insanity, and I urge you to walk back from the brink.

I hope both companies lose lots of business over this and reverse their stupid decisions.
