Just because they're not willingly suffering and dying to feed the profit complex doesn't mean they're not feeding the machine. See also: Soylent Green.

Critical support is okay, but if we dismiss our wrongs to the point progress stalls and reverses because of complacency, that's something that needs addressing, along with failure to be disabused of cherished illusions and delusions.

People can't help where they're born, or genetic qualities, even if they're designer babies, because that's what their parents chose. Be proud of accomplishments you effected not off the backs of those who legitimately didn't have a choice.

I don't think it's just the money, but that people who have leisure time also have time to think deeply.

I think it's not any one stand-alone thing, but the sum total. Is kissing important? Probably, but also not much value without deep, meaningful conversation. Conversely, deep, meaningful conversation without physical connection also starts to ring hollow.

Let's see, racist rapist or guy who cares about locals? It's not a hard choice, unless you're a racist or rapist.

"I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them [Iran] about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil," Rubio had said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. "If they [close the Straits]... it will be economic suicide for them. And we retain options to deal with that, but other countries should be looking at that as well. It would hurt other countries' economies a lot worse than ours." Around 20% of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, with major oil and gas producers in the Middle East using the waterway to transport energy from the region. Any attempt to disrupt operations in the Strait could send global oil prices skyrocketing. Oil prices jumped briefly when trading began on Monday, with Brent climbing to $81.40 a barrel. However, it then slid back to around $78, up 1.4% on the day.

Maybe, I could have sworn it was Bosnia, and I can't really research it right now. I have a project to prepare for and settle into, my apologies if I'm wrong.
