It's big, bigger than the Crusades by way more than ten times (There were maybe 300 million humans alive during the peak centuries of the Crusades, but more than 20 times that alive today). And despite that Arab Muslims are more likely to be Sunni and Persians and Turkics more likely to be Shi'a, it seems pretty that the millions of death that will have resulted from this concflict will be largely attributable to doctrinal schism.<br /><br />It's something like that here, or at least closer than not. Some third to 40 percent of this nation's adult lionize the past and fear the future, so prefer pols who stand athwart and oppose all change including progress. Some 40 percent to maybe half of this nationn's adult's think all that thwarting isn't surprising for a country largely founded on legalized slave labor but it's still a pretty fracking stupid way to run any enterprise and they want to ensure their kids get their shots and otherwise have a decent chance at a bright future. That schism is largely indistinguishable from a dispute between religious belief systems.<br /><br />So, I don't think this is going to end well. It's been on the boil for over 230 million years, we've already had one civil war over it that settled one (1) important question but otherwise nothing at all about the true nature of the conflict. <br /><br />There will be blood - again.Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-21367130951201220802016-02-18T12:02:25.038-05:002016-02-18T12:02:25.038-05:00I like this quote from above by Lit3Bolt "Th...I like this quote from above by Lit3Bolt "This is just an exercise in privilege by white male journalists who can afford to not care who leads their country"<br /><br />It IS true white privilege afford the MSM "press" the opportunity to present THIS battle as a "right" vs "Left" when in ALL truth ...THIS battle is US Constitution vs Obstructionist!<br /><br />The MOST Obstructionist political Party in the US since The Civil War is NOT in hiding ....it is boldy in the open.<br /><br />What Party has produced the MOST filibusters in US history?<br />What Party has obstructed the MOST nominations of a US President in US history?<br />What Party has use voter suppression AFTER the passage of the Voting Rights Act?<br />What Party has removed the ELECTED officials of a city and replaced them with a non-elected "Manager"?<br /><br />The answer is GOP/Republican governance in 21st Century America!<br /><br />So THE question of the day is ... why the WILLFUL IGNORANCE of and the reporting of factual occurances that impacts 350 million Americans??

But I doubt it.<br /><br />This is just an exercise in privilege by white male journalists who can afford to not care who leads their country. They get copy either way, but one will reduce their taxes and start wars which might save their dying newspaper and the other just governs, HOW BORRRING.Lit3Bolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407681812425172672noreply@blogger.com
