  • Their tenets are amazing.

    THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

    I - One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

    II - The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

    III - One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

    IV - The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

    V - Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

    VI - People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

    VII - Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.













  • I’m no RFK supporter, but that shit was muckraking by NYT. Granted, I question his choice in using the excuse of having a worm in his brain to avoid paying alimony to his ex-wife, but it wasn’t being reported honestly and they acted like this was some new revelation that happened in the last few years rather than well over a decade ago.

    RFK is not electable, but I will concede that I like three of his positions quite a bit:

    • Money out of politics
    • Housing and barring corporate ownership of single-occupancy homes
    • Cutting defense spending

    He’s got so many issues that keep him from being a serious contender, but those three subjects are important and he stands on the right side in that regard.
