As if liberals have morality, ethics, or compassion.
Yes. You get it. Poor Huck made the soul wrenching fateful decision that if turning Jim in was the right thing to do, then by gum, he’d choose going to hell rather than turn in his friend Jim.
Which of course was a made-up hell run by people... that’s one of the irksome turns that “established Christianity” took in that day. A horrible fly causing a stink in the otherwise pretty respectable ointment/perfume that was Southern Baptists, to be specific. That was a sign of a church that needed to retrace the grace of God and the fall of man from square one, to get its bearings right. The New Testament sounded the death knell to slavery and almost two millennia of Christendom didn’t get it. When it said “give up threatening” to masters, that meant it had to be hospitable even to an “owned servant” or literally by God, it was kaput.
Huck was the son of the town drunk. Didn’t have much schoolin’, didn’t have much Christianizin’. He pretty much brought himself up. Then he found himself on a raft with Jim. It didn’t take Huck much time to see a fellow human in Jim. Huck didn’t have no culture to speak of, and made his own decisions. His adventure was the adventure that America still is going through.
Twain did take for granted a lot of the things that the greater devoutness of the age made less escapable. He is said to have hounded the faith out of his wife... she shouldn’t have married the man if he was like that, but so went the story.
Lulu!
I agree....theses drugs are great but doctors tend to prescribe them and not monitor them....anything playing with brain function needs to be monitored by a psychiatrist closely.
I’m sure there’s some validity to that but I never and will never...
Lay down with dogs...
(Although there’s some women I dated that might qualify.....)
Try cats then.
There’s something about falling to sleep hugging one cat which is busy grooming the head of another cat.
Long term goal is drug free though, if you can.
It is tough.
Pharma drugs attack our internal organs.
Side effects are new problems, best not to have.
They degrade the body over time.
.
100% correct!
Pharmaceutical drugs have no legitimate use, and are made to accelerate the depopulation of the Earth. Their “side effects” are the real purpose of the drugs.
There are safe effective natural cures for every disease that exists, and most of these diseases are simply nutritional defficiencies.

Such is the life of a cat’s staff!
(Dogs have ‘owners,’ Cats have ‘staff.’)
Official cat hugger.

If you want me to make you a hat, give me some cast iron.
(But that foil does work over your eyes so you don’t have to see reality)

Ah. always projecting as you do.

No, you’re always projecting as you do.
You just don’t have the ‘stuff’ to project anyhing that I can!
Funny what Ambien folks worry about their product being related to....
