    I realized some years ago that most Americans view “morality” as almost exclusively being about sex. Raising moral concerns about things like having a job where you build missiles to be dropped on schools is likely to be met not so much with disagreement as confusion, about how that could possibly be a moral issue if it’s both legal and doesn’t involve your genitals.

      Religious people went on about “morality” as a way to groom people into sexual.shame, and then exploit it to control them. This country’s eaders don’t know.the first thing about real morality

      Worst thing that happened to America was allowing the Puritans to leave in the first place. Should have just offed them all and nipped it in the bud. Would’ve saved a lot more lives
