Look At It This Way (#LAITW)

By Dennis Prager. Opens: “In my last column, I described how I have come to better understand the moral problem of the “‘good German,’ the term used to describe the average, presumably decent German, who did nothing to hurt Jews but also did nothing to help them and did nothing to undermine the Nazi regime.” Here’s the article.

This is fascinating about the notion that COVID knocked out the regular flu season and how that might have happened, and what we might learn from that. I have no idea what this “Tribe” is he mentions at the end, but I’ll go see. BTW, when he says SARS-COV-2, he’s referring to what we all just call COVID. Video here.

We have far too many otherwise very fine people enabling the evil of the left. As Prager noted recently, “if only evil people did evil, we’d be OK.”

I don’t want to be lumped in with the crappy people in my group any more than you want to be lumped in with the crappy people in your group. How about we just look at individual merit?

Prager’s most recent Fireside Chat is fascinating. His guest is Craig Biddle of The Objective Standard Institute. He’s an Ayn Rand atheist which makes for an enlightening conversation with Prager. Warning, this is a long one, 80 minutes. Here.

We had a chance 40 years ago to set ourselves up with 400 years of electricity supply with nuclear energy. But the so-called environmentalists put the kibosh on it.

This was my reaction to stories about the recent “Great Texas Freeze” (my name for it) where reliance on wind/solar proved not so helpful.

You can read it for yourself: HR-127. You might re-read the 2nd amendment while you’re at it.

COVID deaths may have been overstated: here.
This also led me to an interesting organization I was unfamiliar with: http://ipaknowledge.org/

“MSF supports survivors of sexual violence in aftermath of coronavirus; COVID-19 stresses led to a spike in violence for people living with their abusers.”

Read the article here.

I didn’t even know there was a Facebook Oversight Board. Here’s a story about this board reversing a Facebook decision to remove an article about Hydroxychloroquine – here. However, I did know FB’s censoring of pro-HCQ information was wrong (actually criminal, in my mind).
