Most likely correct. One reason I wasn’t all that optimistic about Trum being our Hussein type messiah that is going to “save the Republic” is because usually when a nation violates divine commands, like Israel did, the punishments would begin. And it will start small and end up larger and larger as time goes on, giving people plenty of time to repent.

When they don’t, the Flood comes or the cities are destroyed by orbital meta weapons like Soddom and Gomorrah.

Internally, externally, and mutually consistent principles.

The Pro-Choice (i.e. selective, opportunistic, and unprincipled) quasi-religious/moral, legal, scientific, and social philosophy is a short-term response with long-term consequences.

There is no easy answer, but we should strive toward reconciliation of moral (i.e. individual dignity, intrinsic value), natural, and personal imperatives.

You want to know what is happening to our country? …to western society? It’s this:

Ever since the advent of “abortion for convenience”, our society has turned its back on God. The results are not unexpected.

I worked out at a gym for five years where one of their employees was a Down Syndrome boy who kept the men’s locker area clean. He was a delightful young man to be around. I know he was one of those who is high functioning, but he certainly changed my image of DS children. When Sara Palin decided to keep her DS boy, Trig, it made me like her even more.

As I’ve mentioned before, travel opens one’s eyes. So many cultures that do not share the values we do. Just thankful to live in the good old USA. Not perfect, but a darn sight better than most places and a place where we can try to improve.

Sure, we can detect more birth defects/issues early, and better save premature babies — and we also have more treatments available to help a lot of them long term. For example, a variety of heart defects can be treated today that 30+ years ago were a death sentence. Are we going to judge the quality of life of someone who’s only operating at 93% blood oxygenation as less worthy and not a valid expense (surgeries) next?

Downs is not a terminal disease, not a futile waste of precious healthcare resources (i.e., not an ailment that will surely kill the baby within hours/days/weeks). I am not comfortable with a society that wants to judge the quality of a non-terminal child’s life. This is the path to Hitler’s Aktion T4 program (yeah, some topics do require one to ‘go Godwin’).

Scandinavia and Iceland are at the forefront of this kind of ruthless calculus of the value of human life, and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. As many people have said, the right to die will eventually become the duty to die.

Which is why crows and certain birds are self taught to use tools, whereas apes and monkeys are way more dumb in comparison.

Such birds do not have the brain capacity to do so, if we are genetically closer to apes, then apes should be second only to us in intelligence. Yet it is the spirit that controls matter, and it is the quantum state of the spirit that contains the information, not the brain. The brain is merely like a radio, it only filters and transmutes data, it does not store it nor does it manage it.

Killing off the mortal avatar form of a super intelligent spirit, is about as useless as nuking yourself because you hate breakfast.

Continue your voyage in life believing that the State has the power, because you gave them all that power. In the end, your spirit will still be around in eternal damnation and agony, irregardless of what happens to the temporary flesh. Who cares about what happens to your virtual accounts and avatars? You can just make a new one from scratch later on with enough investment. But those who labored and harbored the intent of supporting evil, will still be penalized at their spirit, the real source of their pain and joy.

Downs Syndrome is a result of an incomplete or over complete synchronization between the spirit that controls matter, and the mortar avatar the spirit logs into in order to control the avatar on the material dimension.
