Can't eat cake if we can't afford the eggs to make it.

... the idea of a grave being sacred in perpetuity is a relatively recent idea, the self-centered and narcissistic assertion that, somehow, the meat is still important after death. 3/3

Those items have significant cultural and historical worth and it's idiotic pearl clutching to let them crumble to nothing. There are no bodies, it's not a gravesite, and in any case... 2/3

Ignore the really crazy stuff because there's truly damaging, dangerous, deadly stuff happening behind it.

3/3

Every ounce of attention you give these types of things is a pound of attention that real issues aren't getting.
Pay attention to what government agencies are being dismantled. Pay attention to whose rights are being taken away. Pay attention to the many pension funds that are being drained.

2/3

This is a distraction. It will never happen, and the reps proposing it know it will never happen. This is jangling keys, shiny, noisy "look over here!"s. This is, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

1/3
