The proprietors are rich, and very holy; but the wage they pay to these poor brothers and sisters of theirs is only enough to keep them from dropping dead with hunger. The work-hours are fourteen per day, winter and summer—from six in the morning till eight at night—little children and all. And they walk to and from the pigsties which they inhabit—four miles each way, through mud and slush, rain, snow, sleet, and storm, daily, year in and year out. They get four hours of sleep. They kennel together, three families in a room, in unimaginable filth and stench; and disease comes, and they die off like flies. Have they committed a crime, these mangy things? No. What have they done, that they are punished so? Nothing at all, except getting themselves born into your foolish race. You have seen how they treat a misdoer there in the jail; now you see how they treat the innocent and the worthy. Is your race logical?

Handicapped parking and jerks

Handicapped parking and jerks

  handicap parking/google images

I’m sorry. I don’t usually call people jerks but in this case, it applies.

Even though I’m a Christian,  I’m calling them jerks.

I’m talking about people who take handicap parking spaces when they are clearly not handicapped.

We’ve all see those cars taking up spaces with no sticker on the mirror and no handicap license plate. However, I usually don’t see it done…

[evokit-notes]

Some kids are, like if they see animal cruelty, it's so painful for them. They are really affected by cruelty. Other kids, you know, they'll swing cats into trees. Now, if compassion is incredibly powerful in you, you will then resonate more toward Leftist arguments about the poor than you will towards libertarian arguments about the importance of competition or individualism or whatever. Similarly, some people are very low on disgust sensitivity. Others people are very high on it. If you tend to see or feel that certain things are contaminated, others are sacred, you'll respond more to arguments about sacredness and to some religious practices, say in Judaism or Catholicism, that treat certain things as sacred or off limits.
