An Aircraft Carrier
What is happening here? Have the merchants of death gathered at the water for one long, last draft at the trough? Is the water without limit? How long can we survive having our financial stability sucked away?

I think it is highly problematic to allow hypocrites and intellectual frauds to capture the perception of moral authority over such minutia while they ignored hundreds of thousands of deaths and the other tragedies caused by government in the recent past.
Circumcision: One Woman’s Piercing Commentary
When Enedina Vance posted a photo of her smiling baby with a pierced cheek on Facebook, she expected — and wanted — a reaction. She probably didn’t expect the reaction to be so vehement.
