During WWII we ate horse meat.

If you eat red meat you are better off health wise to eat horse meat instead of beef.

Rats have a gamey taste

but cooked on the grill seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic they are quite good. Cats are good grilled but dogs are best in a stew.

I side with the cops on this.

Until someone can show me proof that the cops were doing something wrong I believe the employee was out of line. Let the customer come forward and explain why he or she was afraid of the cops drinking coffee.

"At least in the Old Testament God's that way."

But you are a Christian so your God is not that way. Are you saying that the Hebrew God likes Trump but the Christian God doesn't like Trump but the Old Testament God and the New Testament God are the same God but he is a nicer God now because he believes in Jesus? My brain hurts.

There are and have always been universal truths among good and caring humans.

By being good and caring people we do not have all the devices that bad and uncaring people use to subjugate us and others. For instance, for the most part, bad people assassinate good people but good people do not assassinate bad people. I used to believe that good would always win over evil. Now I think we are down to a 50-50 chance at best.

I am 76 years old and always try to use correct spelling and grammar.

And because I am 76 years old I use Grammarly. I inwardly cringe sometimes at the grammar but I have never corrected anyone. This isn't an English test.

Like it or not, countries are amoral.

Treatment of the migrants at the border has not yet been ruled illegal because it has not gone through the court system and The Supreme Court has not made a ruling. That is the thing about our Constitution, any court can rule on the constitutionality of something but the Supreme Court has the final say. A government can do and usually does whatever it wants unless it is stopped by its citizens, its military or an outside force. I may have more to say on this but I have already been working on it for over 20 minutes. If I have not been precise enough reply and I will work on it.

"I haven't seen no tanks yet"

Keep looking. I am sure you will find where they keep the no tanks.

I do not want Medicare for all.

I want one payer healthcare for all. I have it, everyone should have it. And yes there would still be health insurance policies for anyone who wanted one.

The difference is The Constitution.

Everyone on US soil is supposed to be protected by The Constitution. Outside the US, yes there is torture and death in some countries.
