I want the world to be better for everyone

I'm an economist. Now I hate economics. Don't get me wrong: it's why I am the way I am, and for that I'm thankful. Problem is this field is the study of limited resources. And this definition flies in the face of the one resource on our planet that has no limit - us. And that's only 1 unlimited resource! I want to harness these unlimited resources, because it will mean "standards of living" are also unlimited - to us! And that will mean the greed will go away. Nothing to do but blog.

The 2016 Platform - bullet 2ish

An email response I wrote today:

---------------------
On Islamic Misogyny:

A BROADER context is needed here. Examples: veer slightly from misogyny for a bit and you might notice, TO THIS DAY in the U.S., nooses are being hung in black professors’ offices by “Christian” zealots who still think blacks are unequal to whites “according to the Bible”! I live MINUTES from Franklin, TX – a town that is, for all practical purposes, KKK CENTRAL. And all around this little town, lynching nooses, TO THIS DAY, appear almost overnight in black churches! As for misogyny, who was the messianic David Koresh but a religious extremist who murdered his followers in cold blood! His worshippers, among whom were MANY VERY YOUNG girls he’d quite simply raped by his twisted “Christian” doctrine that caused him to spread his seed by all means, ended up BURNED ALIVE because he’d rather that than rendering anything “unto Caesar”!

We can’t measure religions anymore. That’s what got us here in the first place, for goodness sake! After all, who remains on the face of the earth today but descendents of the most prolific within yet most outwardly violent religions of their times?!
---------------------

For one thing, this is why I'd CELEBRATE the day all religions gang up against agnostics like me!
And 2, the reason I, for U.S. Constitution purposes, deem Atheism a religion - so religion can be protected from our government, and remain outside our government both!

Moral to the story too: remember, when one points a finger at someone else, the 3 fingers pointing back!
