Not only are humans born helpless and remain dependent on caregivers for an enormous extended maturation period - often mothers would not survive childbirth without assistance. Being human is fundamentally rooted in community values, empathy, kindness, sharing, cooperation, generous credit. Any ideology that vilifies these realities is an antihuman perversion, a sickness.

As a DEI hire of the pedo-shield con-artist regime, Pete Hegseth is about as credible as a meth-addled mynah bird trained on a dramatic reading of the complete works of James Joyce

The word "love" is used in a number of distinct senses. Some aren't a matter of volition - I love a nice glass of Merlot or a mug of ale with dinner, and I can choose day-to-day whether or not to indulge that taste - but I didn't choose the preference itself. It just is.

In another sense, love is measured in the time and effort you spend on someone's happiness. If I say I love my kids but I don't ever make time to bond with them and demonstrate what it means to be the parent they want and need - then yes we should question if that's really love.

Trump talk nonsense? Is it a day ending in "Y" again already?

"according to Israeli security officials" is worth about as much as "according to Trump"
