675 AD, Japan. Emperor Tenmu bans meat consumption. Not for health. Not for religion initially. For control. The ban lasts 1,200 years. Twelve centuries of restricted animal protein in a nation that had been eating wild boar, deer, and waterfowl for millennia. The official justification evolved: Buddhism prohibits killing. Meat is impure. Consumption of four-legged animals offends the gods. The real reason was simpler: protein access creates independence. Hunting requires no landlord. A peasant with access to wild game answers to no one. A peasant dependent on rice answers to whoever controls the paddies. The Tokugawa shogunate perfected this system. Rice became the currency of control. Samurai received rice stipends. Peasants paid rice taxes. The entire economy ran on a grain that required infrastructure, irrigation, and land ownership to produce. You cannot grow rice alone. You need the collective. You need the system. You need permission. You can hunt deer alone. That was the problem. Historical records show the Japanese population got shorter during the meat ban period. The average peasant in 1800 was 5'1". Significantly smaller than their meat-eating ancestors from the 7th century. When American Commodore Perry arrived in 1853, the Japanese were stunned by the physical size of American sailors. The Americans averaged 5'8". The Americans ate meat. The Japanese had been banned from it for 1,200 years. The Meiji Restoration in 1868 lifted the ban. The government explicitly encouraged meat consumption to "strengthen the race" and compete with Western powers. Within two generations, average height increased 2 inches. Within four generations, Japanese men averaged 5'7". Not genetics. Nutrition. The meat ban worked exactly as designed: It kept the population small, weak, and dependent on a food supply that required permission to access. The moment that permission was rescinded, the population grew taller. Almost like humans need animal protein and 1,200 years of institutional knowledge couldn't change biology.

@OrthodoxReflec1 How does Orthodoxy balance care for the individual vs. care for society? Mandatory vaccines were considered a 'social' good.

The only possible position for the government to ethically take on vaccines, or any treatment, is to allow free choice based on informed consent. Period. Compulsion has no place in medical care. In fact, if it is forced, then it isn't "care".
BythePeople@BythePeople18

Florida's Surgeon general is a physician who deserves to lose his license. Pulling mandatory vaccines for children and allowing parents of children sick with Measles to decide whether they should go to school is medical malpractice and a dereliction of his oath. He is insane.

@OldBabyBoomer1 @DOGE All these reductions in spending that @DOGE is enacting are actually reducing the amount of money that the USA isn't borrowing. Think of it like not spending money on a credit card. It's not going to pay down debt but it's not going to increase it either!

@DOGE I don’t understand why this money you are recouping is not being applied to the national debt. Would someone please explain? Honest responses and please. No snide replies. Much thanks.

@rucoschools Congratulations to the team. As a dad of RCS students, the communications have been awesome. I'm not surprised that they're award-winning also! Particularly the snow day videos. 😃

After watching the debate with my family last night, we all agreed on one thing: the real winners of the presidential debate were the moderators.

As a kid, a long time ago, I learned to tell the truth the first time. Telling a lie, or hiding the truth, doesn't help in the long run.

I understand that sometimes we don't want our actions coming to light even if they are innocuous. However, these types of actions also cause people, including myself, to distrust the government completely!

When there's smoke, there's most likely a fire! 1. They knew that what they'd done was not going to look good in the news. 2. They decided to delete the emails. (Where's data retention when you need it?) Not cool. What Was Anthony Fauci’s Top Aide Hiding? wsj.com/articles/what-…

@SarahisCensored Disagree. Just because you fly a flag doesn't mean you hate America or Christians. Similarly, just because I don't fly a BLM flag doesn't mean I hate black people.

If you see a democrat on X saying “this is the only flag I fly” while posting a photo of the American flag, they’re all gaslighting liars. When black people were killed, they flew the BLM flag. When Ukrainian people were killed, they flew the Ukrainian flag. When gay people were killed, they flew the pride and trans flag. But when Christians were killed in the Nashville shooting, they victimized the killer and justified her actions by making her the 7th victim of her own shooting because of ‘trans oppression and genocide’… and they flew the pride flag again. After Oct 7th they flew the Palestinian flag instead of standing with Israel. Their actions speak louder than a stupid post on X. They hate America and they hate Christians.

@JoeCassandra As a dad of 7 kids in 8 years, I tend to agree with this post. 🙂 However, I think the transition from 2-3 is the hardest. It's when you need to switch from 1:1 defense to zone defense. On the other hand, managing all the relationships and challenges as they grow can be hard.

Having 4 kids is easier than 2 kids. Majority of people I meet around my age have 0-2 kids. 4 is "a lot", they say. (I grew up with 10 siblings) Dads say "I thought I wanted more but the 2nd one was so hard, so I snipped." 2nd one is hard. Harder than 1 bc there's no "you take the kid, I'll relax." There's another freakin kid to watch. But 3 is easier as it's the same as 2. It's just one extra. You've adapted to managing 2, 1 more isn't different. It's just 1 more lunch to prepare and you've gotten used to each solo watching/bathing/playing/reading/teaching multiple kids So 4 is the same as 3. 5 would probably feel the same as 4. "It's more expensive, idiot" It's not that much more expensive. You figure it out. I've made more money with each kid. Kids help you focus and get stuff done even at work. Plus, the older ones can start helping. Even by age 3 or 4, they can pitch in Last take... Also best to just get them all out at once. Huge gaps where you're going in and out of the baby/ toddler phase isn't fun.
