The daughter of a friend is a climatologist who married another climatologist. That sounds like the opening to a joke, but it's not. One's a professor and the other is a highly paid consultant. They've elected not to have children.

The Atlantic had an article about the Massai being displaced off their grazing lands by government who is looking for tourist dollars and rich Arabs wanting private hunting. I was outraged. How dare anyone do this? We should stop this!

Then I remembered Indian reservations and how they came to be. We need to take that hard look at what we've done as a country. I can't imagine the emotion of a Cherokee or Navajo were they to watch a massive American campaign to save the Massai.

Most of 'em are good things to abide, but they're not exclusive to Christianity.  It was written by a Jewish God, not Jesus.  And many of those life lessons of guidance were around tens of thousands of years before Moses professed them to his people.  It's not as if after that day, people putting down swords and thinking "Oh shit, I shouldn't be stabbing my neighbor after he caught me with his wife and trying to walk out with his gold."  

A Catholic standup comic friend had a bit about how the first three commandments are all about God telling us he's totally THE God and then brings up the mass chant of "Always and everywhere to give you praise, O' Lord."  Like, is God an anxious 8th grade girl who needs constant validation that she's still the most popular in school?  He rarely did it on stage because he couldn't get the wording/timing right, but I think the idea is funny.    

If Texas really wanted to make it a teaching moment, post the 10 Commandments.  Fine by me.  But do it their original language/script so at least the kids learn about a world bigger than their state government.

No shit, W. If I were having a beer with you on the porch, which everyone says would be a great experience, what do you say about Donald? What do you think your silence does?

The one above that is inapt. It's on the right side, but the statment and cartoon aren't really what is being discussed and demeaned.

The one with the Ten Commandments is the very opposite. Apt and poignant.

Thanks, @brakeman, for publishing the whole spectrum.
