Althouse: Red states and white states.

২ জুন, ২০১৭

Red states and white states.

"I see a greater polarisation taking place between red states (meat-eating) and white states (chicken eating) Within the white states, meat-eaters will have to skulk about, looking over their shoulder as they bite into a beef kebab."

Listening at night to some interesting audio-books from Amazon/Audible:
.."Gandhi and Churchill" : Arthur L. Herman
.."Midnight's Furies" : Nisid Hajari
.."Games Without Rules" : Tamim Ansary

Polarization by religion, sect, ethnicity, etc. for political purpose is frequent theme. Example: in Pakistan and Afghanistan in recent times when it was politically important to identify as a Moslem, the result was a bidding war amongst potential leaders for ever more extreme expressions of Islam.

We enlightened beings are fortunately beyond that. It would be unimaginable for example to have folks in the US calling for "Black Only" or "Hispanic Only" or "Women Only" events at a public institution or facility.

No Siree. Not us. We're special.; ২/৬/১৭, ১১:০৯ AM

Who gave the Hindis the job of protecting the planet's bovines?

Who made those dudes in Portland presumptive guardians of the auricular sensitivities of fellow commuter riders?; ২/৬/১৭, ১১:২০ AM

Why that is so hard to understand is amazing.; ২/৬/১৭, ১২:২৬ PM
