Not just recent. I have a foggy memory of this “baby killer” shit making headlines before Dubya got everyone into attack mode after September 11.

And… weren’t Jewish people accused of sacrificing babies back in medieval times?

“THEY KILLED THE BABIES!” is an ancient and effective rallying cry for war.

Wondering what is obnoxious enough to effectively budge them, without alienating climate activists. I mean, eliminating their bloodlines could get their attention, but would also probably be considered too violent.

If you had read the article, you could see that the men are not white.

This is a well-written investigative story about politically connected parents covering up the violent assaults committed by their three sons for over 20 years.

It seems that the governor shut down the task force with no formal announcement or any response to inquiries.

Apparently no action has ever been taken on the recommendations from the now-defunct task force. This is unforgivable for the state with the highest rate of murdered and missing Native Americans.

Agreed. The other designs resemble corporate medical/biotech/pharma logos, which are big in Minnesota, but don’t belong on the flag.

This just in:

London based authority still muting voices in the north, as is tradition.

“Many courts, including the claimant, have trouble understanding what is often referred to as natural law. … Natural law — or as i call it, just law — is that which is so obvious that it is not required to be written down into an act or statute," Arbabi said

So what the dead corporation woman calls law is the antithesis of law.

I learned about lucid dreaming from an old book I found when I was 18, and I began practicing. Because flying has been my passion since I was 5, I focused on that.

At first, I would run and take long leaps, like I was in low gravity. After a few weeks, one leap would keep me about 6 feet above the ground until I wanted to drop back down. I’d remain vertical with my arms relaxed at my sides, and just lean a bit for direction. About a year after I began flying every night, I could lay down and then close my eyes while making one push off the ground with my right foot and I’d be immediately at tree line. I loved flying through my neighborhood and the city, hovering over streets, visiting the houses of my friends, sometimes popping in to see them.

My dreams were in real time, so it was late at night and they were almost always asleep. It felt like an out of body experience.

I’d learned from the book how to make recurring dream threats your friend, and I befriended the wolves that had terrified my dream life at least once a week for over ten years. It was an incredibly empowering experience.

After a few years, I was in a lost time in life, and my dream flying reflected how out of control I was. By then, every time I laid my head on my pillow, my right foot reflexively tapped and I was off. But now, I was shooting straight up faster than a rocket and zipping beyond the moon in just a few seconds. I started panicking that I’d “lose my earth tether” and never be able to find my way back. I believed that I needed to return to my body in order to wake up. So now going to sleep was a threat in my mind. It took weeks to de-condition myself to stop flying.

In retrospect, I should have taken control, but my day life had really gone off the deep end and I think this is how it manifested. I haven’t practiced lucid dreaming or flying since I was 28, but I miss that exhilaration of zooming at tree line in a place I loved.

I like the direction of this thought. I’ve imagined the same, until I remembered that before fossil fuels, humans used whale oil for lamps, lubricants, soaps, etc, and cut down trees for heat.

This is one of those “be careful what you wish for” scenarios. 8 billion people burning trees for heat and killing whales for lighting creates a whole new hellscape.
