Mr. Misanthrope

Usually the ink you inject into the water to misdirect, obfuscate, and confuse is typical Gnostic piffle. Here you’re simply taking Holy Scripture as it is and claim it says what it doesn’t say.

A husband and wife, or sisters and brothers working with an Apostle to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ (much like Lazarus and his sisters Martha and Mary supported Jesus) does not justify or support female ordination. Neither does a local Christian community meeting In a private residence make the homeowners ordained deacons, presbyters or bishops.

Someone prominent among the Apostles-even renowned among them for their faith and labors-isn’t an Apostle, nor are they automatically ordained ministers.

Universal healthcare…. cheaper to have assisted suicide than to pay for medical treatment.

Canada has been declining medical treatment for the elderly for years in an attempt to expedite their death.

Soylent Green is people !
And Canada’s MAID policy is not about a humane option to alleviate needless suffering anymore than virtually unrestricted abortion on demand for profit is about the health of the mother.

Underneath the innocuous, seemingly reasonable euphemisms, are foundational financial calculations balancing healthcare costs for the unborn, elderly, mentally, emotionally, and physically infirm with the perceived potential relative “worth” of those individuals to society.

For now, in Canada, it’s an individual’s “choice”, a choice that’s almost certain to quickly pass muster with a sympathetic physician. It will not be long in the future that individual choice will be superseded by the medical community operating for the benefit of the state in deciding to consign, wholesale, entire discreet populations to the death mills.

Absent radical dissent here in America to philosophically viewing humans as utilitarian calculations where the state decides who can live and who must die, our Republic is not far behind Canada.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed,
and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction,
while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

It made me remember a great Justified episode with a guy who collected Hitler’s paintings, burned them, and displayed the ashes in glass jars in his “gallery”.

Some remember an uncovered “mall” anchored on the north by D.H. Holmes and by Maison Blanche on the south nearest to Veterans.

Werlein's for Music had a location there.
In the 60’s they set up a stage facing the pool/fountain in the middle of the place (across from Western Auto to its west) and held Saturday Battles of the Bands.

Yours truly-in the greener days of his youth-won one Saturday with a pickup group of friends and acquaintances and walked the mall like 9th grade gods. I still remember the three songs we played. Live for Today-The Grassroots, We Gotta Get Out of this Place-The Animals, and Because-The Dave Clark Five.

Very true.

However if I make that claim I’m frequently dismissed as indulging in gross hyperbole. I tone it down some to evangelize and bring in converts. I believe it’s the best film ever made. It’s only competitors, in my opinion, are The Best Years of Our Lives, It’s A Wonderful Life, Barry Lyndon, and, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance .

The whole story behind how the play it’s based on ended up being the movie Casablanca became is book worthy. Several in fact have already been written.

Bernard Fall wrote two books that told of France’s experience there.
Street Without Joy

Hell In A Very Small Space: The Siege of Dien Bien Phu

And I think this is a lost and forgotten classic probably because 60 Minutes, Mike Wallace, and left media made a crusade to destroy Lt. Col. Anthony B. Herbert. Soldier
It’s so similar to Col. Hackworth’s Steel My Soldier’s Hearts you’d think they shared an outline. Regimental leadership and above sometimes comes off looking very bad.

These may not be your cup of tea for your trip but they are invaluable history of our involvement.
