No, no war profiteers in Arcata, California.
edit: at least not direct ones. There are, of course, retirees and people with mutual fund investments (just like in any other American town) who don't control their funds company-by-company, and some of them no doubt are making profits from some pretty shady companies, not just war profiteers.

Tell me, do you really believe that Apple is the only company taking advantage of workers in China?

Also, is that really all you have left? Name calling and attacking my tech?

Religions are unfair to everyone except the men who routinely edit and rewrite the already edited and rewritten "Holy Books," in ways that benefit themselves and their own interests exclusively. When reality begins to overtake them they issue a new edition of their "Holy Books," in order to fabricate and embellish ludicrous "justification," for the parts of their "Holy Books" that are currently being questioned. Whatever it takes to maintain the power structure and the money flow. Keep the guilt trip alive.

The god of Canaan at the time the Israelis started taking over was EL. Some scholars think he's the original god of Isra-EL but either way he merged with Yahweh at some point. In Canaanite mythology El gets sexually aroused when he sees women on a beach, has sex with two consenting women there and they give birth to dawn and dusk. And he doesn't stop there.

So once the fully monotheistic Yahweh lost his d*** I think women (and goddesses) were screwed. You can't celebrate what he can't do. Until Mary anyway and that was highly abstracted magical conception.

Where does that go on? Women thinking all men are rapists? That would be like men thinking all women are nymphomaniacs, or cannibals.

That would make oral sex somewhat risky.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose....

...There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Right. I always took those to be angels screwing around. There is a passage somewhere that is sometimes interpreted that women should cover their hair to avoid attracting the wrong kind of angel's attention.

But it also might be a reference to El's younger days when he was apparently quite horny.

Not counting all the times all of these passages have been edited and rewritten over and over to the benefit of the rapist.. Nice work of fiction though, if you need help with constipation issues.
