@HeavilyRecruitd That's just where I think I am. Resignation is the proper action, and communicating why is appropriate, but a brief "I do not agree with the administration's policy/decisions regarding X" is about all that's needed.

Joe Kent's record is impeccable. No question. People - serious people who knew and served with him -vouch for his character. Who am I to question? His opinion and the manner in which he aired his resignation are, however, up for criticism as a public servant. Pretty simple.

@egreghost And it's tyranny of the bottom quintile. (That said, some of these like the hammock rockers are seriously dangerous.)

Neat how any time a product is developed to give comfort to babies, at least one baby out of millions dies and the CPSC bans it, creating an arms race of parents buying up the products and then persistence in the resale market. Omelas moment.

@devusnullus @GlomarResponder "Die and go to heaven" is not the promise. "Be bodily resurrected in glory and live in the new earth like Adam was supposed to have made it" is. Christ's death and resurrection was to re-empower us to get back to the original assignment of putting the earth right, now.

@chrylis @GlomarResponder I think you're trying to say this as some kind of dig, but best as I can tell, 'eternal paradise', ie heaven is literally table stakes for every denomination of Christianity. Do you go there for all eternity after death or not?
