Purpose...

Denmark's Marcus Knuth of the ruling liberal party Venstre, says the dress worn by some conservative women is "strongly oppressive." A new law took effect recently ban such an outfit.

Other European countries have similar bans, claiming they are not aimed at any religion in particular, and don't ban headscarves, turbans or the traditional Jewish skull cap. Austria, France and Belgium have similar laws. 

The law allows people to cover their face when there is a "recognizable purpose" like cold weather or complying with other legal requirements, such as using motorcycle helmets required under Danish traffic rules.

Anyone forcing a person to wear garments covering the face by using force or threats can also be fined or face up to two years in prison.  

Crule Irony...

Perhaps the more tragic recognition of reality took place when it became clear to me that the war was doing far more than devastating the hopes of the poor …... 

We were taking the black young men..... sending them eight thousand miles away to guarantee liberties in Southeast Asia....... 

And so we have been repeatedly faced with the cruel irony of watching Negro and white boys on TV screens as they kill and die together for a nation that has been unable to seat them together in the same schools....

Here is the true meaning and value of compassion and nonviolence, when it helps us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition.

Looking back.

Ginger Ale...

A federal lawsuit filed in Buffalo, New York, claims Canada Dry_ Group led consumers to believe their ginger ale product contained real ginger.

"Instead, Canada Dry Ginger Ale is made from carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, preservatives and 'natural flavors,' i.e., a flavor compound comprised predominately of flavor extracts not derived from ginger, and a minuscule amount of a ginger flavor extract."

Watch for the Sugar content.

Peace...

The recent offer from Pres. Trump to meet with Iran without preconditions is a great move of this president. He is choosing Peace over what others asked him to bomb Iran day in and day out.

Senior Iranian officials rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's offer of talks without preconditions as worthless and "a humiliation" after he acted to reimpose sanctions on Tehran following his withdrawal from a landmark nuclear deal. 

Give it time. The war we started in the middle put the area and the world into a difficult situation.

Alienate...

Keith King sued Huizar for alienation of affection and emotional distress, as reported by The Herald Sun.  

 Danielle King and Huizar met at a BMX show in August 2015 and began an affair shortly afterwards. Keith King found out about the affair soon after.

Danielle King said she'd been unhappy for the entirety of the marriage since the couple were wed in 2010. After initiating her relationship with Huizar, she began the separation process from her husband in 2016.

Huizar's attorney alleged that Keith King manipulated his wife throughout their marriage controlling her access to money, snooping through her phone, making her work without pay, and work when she needed time for childcare.

The case is clear. There was no affection to alienate.

Famine...

And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also.
