Think about all the good we could do if we halved our military budget.

It seems a good sign.

We are awakening.

… If the student has a case, the student should make the details publicly known. Has that happened?

I’ve reviewed articles for journals in the past and would really like to see the evidence presented in the essay (or whatever it was).

… know a lot about the context of this story to buy into it in this case.

How many other Christian students believe they have been persecuted against by the professor or professors involved?

What was the paper about? What claims did the student make? What did the student cite to support them? …

… immigrants who make them losers, it’s Democrats, professors, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and more.

Are Christians victims of persecution in the world? Of course there are, just like there are of just about every religious community. But I’ve never heard of it happening like this. I’d have to …

… I even wrote about one in a published article about how failures inform engineers. Fortunately none of my mistakes hurt any patients, but I learned how easily they could have.

Trump supporters ALWAYS find someone else to blame for their mistakes. They are NEVER their fault.

If it isn’t …

… and vice versa. I don’t see them as totally independent, but when I sat down to work on a biomedical engineering problem I never consulted a Bible. Nor did any docs, nurses, or researchers of any faith who worked with me consult their scriptures.

When I made mistakes, I owned up them …

… graduate students. I never wore my faith like a badge, but I would say things like “I’m doing something with my church this weekend.”

Some wondered how an engineer/scientist could be a person of faith and vice versa. It’s a weird question. Short answer: My faith informs my science and …

Nobody ever persecuted me because I’m Christian.

I earned a BSE and MSEE from Johns Hopkins, where I began my career as a clinical engineer. After ten years I moved to Mass General, where I worked for thirty years. During that time I mentored a class of Harvard Business School and MIT …

… what shared sacrifice for the good of all meant.

We have totally forgotten and now worship self interest. Half of us can’t read above a sixth grade level. How did that happen?

We let it, that’s how.

We have to take it back.

After WWII the top marginal rate rose to 91% for single filers with income over $200,000 (today that would be $2,000,000).

We helped rebuild Germany and Japan. We started the Interstate Highway system. We built rural hospitals. We said we would get to the Moon in ten years, and we did.

We knew …

A lot of countries can’t mount the type of power that [Rome, England, Spain, Germany, Japan, Russia, China] beings to the table …

But we’re the good guys in white hats, right?

And anything is justified if it stimulates the economy.

Why does it matter why they want it?

Seriously. It doesn’t matter. What matters is what we’re willing to do about it.

Somebody needs to tell @chrismurphyct.bsky.social that would include @schumer.senate.gov

All they want to do is induce fear and collect a $50,000 bonus for it.

It’s not like they know how to do anything else.

… have elementary school reading and comprehension skills, and the other half just uses that fact as meme material.

This country is in grave danger. Trump is not the naked emperor. Our entire country as a whole is. Hopefully the rest of the world soon finds the courage to tell us that.

… to feed and house the poor … and to cure cancer.

Santa told them that’s a lot to do and needs help so they need to keep doing well in school so they can help him some day.

I’m glad my daughter has raised her kids to think like this. What worries me to no end is half the adults in this country …

… to understanding and interpreting it.

Yesterday I wrote letters to two of my grandchildren, ages 9 and 7, under the pseudonym Santa (seems the big guy doesn’t have time to answer their letters right now, so I’m filling in).

Among the things they requested of him was …

This one has. Cover to cover. I still read it regularly. And go to church. And give money and time to food pantries and soup kitchens

Keep in mind that over 50% of the US adults cannot read above a sixth grade level. Many could read the words, but they would bring a child’s comprehension skills …
