Christopher Hitchens v Tony Blair on the good of religion

I am not sure of the date on this. Hitchens was obviously declining in health from the cancer but he still owned Blair.

Pages quit loading Firefox 52 on Windows Vista 32

I have a 10 year old Dell desktop running Vista 32. I notice that with Firefox 52 lots of pages hang trying to load. I tried refreshing Firefox and running in safe mode with addin disabled. This still doesn't fix it. I think the issue started with the last Firefox update,

I notice that my Windows 10 PC is running Firefox 54.0.1. I wonder if this issue is also blocking updates?

What are your encounters with friends or relatives who supported Trump like?

Lately I decided not to be polite any longer around friends or relatives who I know supported the Idiot. I lay into him with a vengeance. I find they never defend him. They just clam up and say nothing.

I have cut off a brother who supported Trump. It was pretty easy to do since he has treated me and my family like crap for 25 years. He told me during the Clinton days I wasn't his brother because I didn't think Clinton should be impeached. (That was in front of others too). He meekly apologized via email months later.

We have pretended to have a relationship by taking each other out to lunch on our birthdays. This year I decided to end that. I don't regret it for a minute.
