Shout - Villon - January 28 2015 7:57 pm EST

Well it's The Problem of Evil, right, that's plagued #Christianity since day one and never ever been answered satisfactorily. How can there be evil in the world if God is both benevolent and all-powerful? Simple, elegant, soul-crushing, terrible question. And the #Film went ahead and posed the question and realized that it couldn't answer it better than anyone else has been able to. But if they'd bothered to consult a theologian, they could have come closer to a plausible solution... #Single #Villon #Chat:1-28-15_6:49pm

Mosh Pit - 92nd Comment

Here there be political commentary.  Skip on by, if that ain't cher thang :- )

Dr. Grumpy, who runs a medical center, sez,

People ask me all the time why EU countries appear to do better on some particular measure of medical performance. Or why they can afford to insure more of their population etc. I point out that the EU style medical systems simply could not exist in their current forms without the US. EU governments are able to spend so much on social programs because:

1. As Matt point out, the US taxpayer heavily subsidizes the security of the EU, something I think the EU has long taken for granted until recently when "stuff got real" with the Ukrainian crisis. The US tax payer essentially foots the bill for world stability, and the EU countries have been happy to allow us to do so (I don't blame them, they are only acting rationally). Sure, the US benefits from world stability also, but we pay for it.
