. . . considering. . .



(from Treatise On The Gods by H.L. Mencken)
". . . As I have said, the history of this great innovation (heaven and hell) is vague, and we know very little about its early stages. Many Jews, it appears, opposed it; the Sadducees, indeed, held out against it to the end. In Ecclesiastes III, 19-20, it is flouted openly: "For what befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; . . . as the one dieth, so dieth the other. . . . All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again." And again in Ecclesiastes IX, 2 and 5: "All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked: to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth no: as is the good, so is the sinner. . . . For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more reward." But the idea of immortal life was too sweet to be extinguished by any such skepticism, and so it persisted among the Jews, and the scheme of post mortem rewards and punishments with it. . ."

Labelling . . .

(http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-06-30/tallying-right-wing-terror-vs-jihad)
". . . Andrew Joseph Stack, who you may remember piloted a small plane into an IRS building in Austin. Stack left a manifesto behind, and it doesn't exactly read like an anarcho-capitalist treatise. Oh, he's mad at the government, all right, but he's mad about ... the 1986 revision to Section 1706 of the tax code, which governs the treatment of technical contractors. Here are some other things Andrew Stack was angry about:

The bailouts of GM and Wall Street
Drug companies and health insurers (Obamacare was then stalled in Congress)
The Catholic Church and the "monsters of organized religion"
The Pennsylvania steel bankruptcies that gutted steelworker pensions
Now-defunct accounting firm Arthur Andersen
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (because of Section 1706)
The California base closings of the early 1990s
The 1980s S&L crisis
Government aid to airlines after 9/11
His accountant
George W. Bush

Its closing lines are "The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed." . . ."


The label doesn't help much when it comes to terrorism.
