She took some of their profit and redirected it to, one would assume, housing, feeding, clothing and making Christmas for her sons. If I had a chance to take a few grand from Melvin Sembler without hurting anyone who didn't need hurting I'd jump on it.

But what about what she gave them?

Spare evidence??

Well, so far she's said that she doesn't think any innocent person could be hurt by any of it and that she believed that WWASP would have gotten it anyway. Both claims are plausible. As no one can know the mind of another, I'll take her word for it and bet that she'll find out sooner or later that she was mistaken on both counts. And then maybe she'll also get an answer to her question about how parents can be so easily manipulated, tricked and cajolled into doing horrible things to their children while fully believing that they're the nobel martyrs.

But, of course, I could be wrong about a lot of things here. There's still a lot more rumor than substantiated fact floating around.

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

Not everyone can be a great wordsmith, and he is thought provoking (in a very good way).

Yeah. Sort out the actual hard facts that you know from all the speculation about motives such, and I think you'll agree that we're running a horrible signal to noise ratio so far. It is getting much better just lately. But most of us are still largely in the dark.
If only there were evil people somewhere, insidiously committing evil
deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
