Yes, we totally should. We must protect our children and especially infants. 1,674 dead children in a year in the US alone. This is absolutely devastating for a family. Do your part vaccine, wash hands, n95 mask up, and push through laws that make it compulsory for others to do so.
Female genital mutilation occurs in many religions, including white Christianity. What is absurd is it took to 2021 to federally outlaw this act. In 2019 fgm was completely legal in 21 states, ouch. What took so long?
Yes, torture.
"Prisoners were subjected to “rectal feeding” without medical necessity. Rectal exams were conducted with “excessive force”. The report highlights one prisoner later diagnosed with anal fissures, chronic hemorrhoids and “symptomatic rectal prolapse”."
I agree that droughts contribute to wild fires. Climate change causes more severe droughts. Southwest North America had the driest 22 yr period since 800.
Yes, of course climate change make wildfires worse. High temperature plus low humidity + fuel of forests = fire.
"that there is strong evidence that such ideas are not spread by random processes, but by deliberate intentional actions,[2] that "evolution" of ideas is more Lamarckian than Darwinian"
I agree, that religion is deliberately spread. A virus implies no intelligence behind the spread, but humans are intelligent and spread the idea. There is so many religious literature brochures, pamphlets that just appears, televangelists, Christian radio, churches, and more.
Yes, Gothard created the Duggar family. That didn't end well.
"Josh, by then a father of seven, was convicted of possessing and receiving child pornography, charges for which he is now serving a 12½-year prison sentence." Meredith Blake"

Thank you for clarifying. :) What happened to Bronto anyways?
I agree with the basic premise that we need to increase taxes and cut spending. As for handouts, student debts have reached diminishing marginal returns.
"The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis noted in 2019 that investment in higher education has reached a point of diminishing marginal returns."
By continuing to lend to students we are creating a moral hazard situation. Without revealing too much about myself, I know people who have graduated from college and regretted ever attending. They felt mislead, moral hazard by college admissions staff.
As for increased taxes, we need to close tax loopholes that let the ultra rich get richer. Taxing the rich is incredibly difficult and probably won't pass though.

That's why I ask tax who?
We could really use more undocumented Americans to help with the national debt crisis.
"Research shows that undocumented immigrants increase the size of the U.S. economy/contribute to economic growth, enhance the welfare of natives, contribute more in tax revenue than they collect, reduce American firms' incentives to offshore jobs and import foreign-produced goods, and benefit consumers by reducing the prices of goods and services."
