There was a time, not that long ago, when cremation was not an option for Catholics. At some point, the church changed its mind. Maybe in the seventies or eighties?

There were guardrails, but most of them are just litter on the side of the road now. The supreme Court has essentially justified any action he takes, Congress will not dare to oppose anything he wants, and he is appointing toadies and lickspittles to the highest offices of the land. Oh, and he is reclassifying all the major bureaucrats as political appointees so they can be fired at will.
It really is as bad as it seems.
You are talking as if the US is ever going to hold elections again.
As I understand it, some of the parents of the children who were murdered have agreed to drop part of their claim, in exchange for Infowars being sold to The Onion. It's not like they were going to collect the entire 1.5 billion dollars anyway.
How is sitting on a toilet physiologically different than sitting on a chair?
And just think, if that model was 25 in 1971 she would be 78 now.
For me, I don't try to deaden the hunger pangs. I think I need to retrain my brain that being hungry is not necessarily a bad thing. At first, it was very distracting, but I think I'm getting used to the idea that I don't have to eat every time I feel hungry.
I'm usually only noticing it for the last two or three hours before my meal.
I can understand being frustrated and angry with the Democrats for essentially being a status quo party that favors their corporate benefactors.
What boggles my mind is thinking that voting Republican would make any of that better, when in fact it seems pretty clear that it is going to make everything much, much worse.
It was a novel written in the 1970s about the US invading Canada to get our oil supplies. It was called Exxoneration.
If I remember it correctly, the Canadians were able to successfully resist over the long term.
What rights do you really have when there is a Supreme Court that will allow them to be trampled?

New countries typically don't start without a significant percentage of their population dying in conflict. Certainly a place that has as many guns as the US does not have a good chance for a peaceful transition.
Not that I actually believe a new country is even remotely possible. There will be decades if not centuries of decline.
