They do not covet for themselves, you see, but on behalf of others, always.<br /><br />The saying 'rob Peter to pay Paul and you have half the vote' is incomplete. You rob Peter, pay Paul, and convince a few suckers on Peter's side to side with you because they should feel guilty Peter had more to begin with.<br /><br />You don't need a lot. Just a few gullible fools, and then you have MORE than half the vote.Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13082153758868357687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-74878354103395380532018-12-10T07:05:37.359-05:002018-12-10T07:05:37.359-05:00And, posts like this are why I read you, Francis. ...And, posts like this are why I read you, Francis. Until I read it here, I had honestly never made that connection between coveting and envy.

That we are the same species is evident, per definition; that being said, superficial attributes like skin color, hair color, etc., breed true - so it is entirely likely that other characteristics also breed true. Intelligence is one of them.<br /><br />Having said this, there is no room for discrimination in the law for race. None.<br /><br />I've mentioned on my blog, and perhaps here, that my wife is not white and is a first-generation immigrant. In her job she's run into quite a few non-whites, particularly black people. She came to the conclusion very early that these people were, still, slaves. No, not physically but definitely had a "slave mentality" - the far, far more dangerous and insidious kind of chain.<br /><br />(Incidentally, this is one reason G-d had the Israelites wander for 40 years in the wilderess: to get the majority of people who were conditioned to be slaves to die off.)<br /><br />I've been to Africa. Kenya, to be specific. I'd love to go back, but I'm afraid that by the time it's feasible dollar and family wise it won't be viable to do safety-wise as, alas, I fear it too shall go down the rabbit hole of tribal and racial strife.NITZAKHONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110716447757507226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-82248405040138949322018-12-09T15:51:27.760-05:002018-12-09T15:51:27.760-05:00Indeed, Unk.
