Your Unpopular Opinion
Agree. But it's more than the RCC. It's basically all Christianity. But without the dogma of "original sin" then why would you need a savior? You wouldn't. So another of my unpopular opinions is that this is all just a business monopoly plan by the church to sucker people into accepting their product. Jesus? Good guy. Nothing divine about him.

Your Unpopular Opinion
I get the moral qualms many have with abortion, but to phrase it like it is above (with no exceptions for the life of the mother, or even exceptions for rape/murder) is to make some sort of value judgement on others, specifically saying that the life of the mother isn't worth as much as the life of the unborn fetus. This is/was the old school Catholic view: a mom has 9 kids, is in a very difficult pregnancy with the option of abortion (to save the mother) or not (to save the fetus). The mom has been baptized, hence been saved, therefore she's going to heaven but the unbaptized fetus hasn't. So, save the fetus. In the meantime, you've got 10 kids now without a mother. That makes no sense to me, right up there with having no exceptions to the blanket "abortion is wrong" mentality. That's my somewhat unpopular opinion, amongst some at least.

Battleship Texas being relocated
The old girl is going to be more and more of a money pit, I'm afraid. Get some good documentarians in there to video the heck out of it. Then make a first-class visitor's center with all that footage and other historic artifacts. As for the ship itself? Maybe tow it out into the gulf and make a reef. Let it be a source of life for the water creatures.

Battleship Texas being relocated
It needs money, a lot of it, to keep it in good shape. That may be in the form of admissions tickets, funds from the state, private donations, whatever. It's an old ship that won't improve any with age. I get it. It's named Texas and has served the United States in big wars, but the time comes for an end to everything.

Israel
Probably only this (WSJ): As he faced defeat, Mr. Netanyahu successfully pressed parliament, known as the Knesset, to change tack to avoid allowing Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, a rival, to invite another lawmaker to form the government. But in doing so, Mr. Netanyahu’s supporters likely won’t be able to pass a law giving him limited immunity from prosecution before a pre-trial hearing in October on potential charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. That could expose Mr. Netanyahu to a corruption trial if he becomes prime minister again.

Cops Lie
Not all cops are bad, of course, but the best thing for the public to remember in the back of their mind is that the police are NOT necessarily there to help you. If you ever get arrested, do what the cops do: no poly, no statement, no waiver. DO NOT SAY ANYTHING. As the Miranda warning says, "anything you say CAN and WILL be used AGAINST you." Nothing you say will be used FOR you.

Vote these mofos out of office (yeah, I know McTurtle isn't going anywhere, but it starts with the Cheeto in Chief). Like Letterman said. Stop complaining. Start voting. Vote!

Donald Trump 2019
Am I the only one not surprised that Indiana got hit with God's wrath? Pence's gay vibe has finally angered the almighty, it seems.

Lance Armsrtong "wouldn't change a thing."
I read Lance's book (the first one?) and what I got from that is that he is a world-class grudge holder and basically a sociopath. The guy has deep, unresolved issues. Grow up, Lance. But he probably couldn't have achieved all he did unless he had a raging justice boner to prove his worth. He's one fucked-up dude. I wish he would be a better person. Really. He could be so much more as a person.
-
Lance Armsrtong "wouldn't change a thing."
Wrong, wrong, wrong, imo. He is despised not because he cheated, but because he tried to personally destroy the lives of some of his detractors. And he may have infamy more than fame.

the alabama abortion attack
As they should.

Author Naomi Wolf told live on radio that her new book is worthless
That's interesting. One would think that Trinity College would have verified/examined Wolf's dissertation, assuming she had some of the same crap there. I guess that school has really gone downhill since Newton, and since Hawking died.
-
Lance Armsrtong "wouldn't change a thing."
That's a big thing to change, imo. I don't really blame Lance for doping/cheating. I do blame him for attacking his detractors and ruining some of their lives. In that respect, Lance is borderline psychopath. It seems pretty clear he's a sociopath.

Really? Well then, I guess we need to call The NYT, WaPo, and The Economist propaganda rags as well. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/04/world/middleeast/gaza-rockets-israel.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/gazas-homemade-rockets-still-stretch-israels-sophisticated-defenses/2019/05/06/2ca3a46a-700c-11e9-9331-30bc5836f48e_story.html?utm_term=.78b7dfcb4392 https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2019/05/11/israel-and-hamas-come-close-to-war

Her self-righteous ship sailed a long time ago. She's a joke, imo. Her high point in life was when Harold Bloom found her fetching.

Westworld Season 2
I'm catching up on Westworld. I like it, and think it's better than Game of Thrones. The sentient cybernetic/host things is pretty reminiscent of the Cylons in Battlestar Galactica. Very interesting, imo. God probably fucks with us in the same way.
