#1 Lessee. Murderous child labor to build instruments of terror and aggressive war. Guess there'll be a wave of revulsion and criticism from the UN, Human Rights Watch, and sundry nitwits speaking in dramatic tones on NPR. What? OK.

Well then surely the large-scale, official, criminal, treaty- and conscience-violating human trafficking in young people, done for pay by violent criminal cartels, and leading to many deaths, disappearances, and abuses, and conducted by Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras will be savagely condemned and stopped?

What?

It's almost as if the world is, literally, morally upside down now. Not a bit of hyperbole to that statement.

#2 Been that way a long time, Verlaine.

Almost as if by design....

It's not the inversion, it's the constant spinning that befuddles me.

#5 When the Left took the initiative to condemn the West for failing to achieve 'perfection' and the spewing of the lie that 'all cultures are equal', you end up with such moral inversions. The Left exempts itself from the standards of perfection they've demanded of others. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.” - ROBERT HEINLEIN

No, it's just going back to its normal state of affairs. Hope everyone enjoyed the break.

#7 Are these 160+ kids the ones that Hamas takes photos of and then blames their deaths on Israel? Just wondering.

#8 had been done to stop the phenomenon of child labor during the digging of the tunnels by Hamas in Gazoo

It's how they keep their kids out of trouble when they're not in school. Learning how to hate the evil Jooz.

#9 "use of children in the tunnels, . . . much as in Victorian coal mines"

Yeah, but the West got over it.

The paleos won't get over it until ALL their children are dead. Then they'll try to kidnap other people's children to continue.

#10 I believe Marxists snapped at the end of the Cold War and are now bent on destroying the West as well. Most at a subconscious level.

Some were bent on destroying the west before, but most just thought things were unjust in the West and would be better under redistribution.

#11 Most at a subconscious level"

I beg to differ, rj.

Most is at a conscious level.

#12 coming soon: Paleo Billy Elliott (the musical).

Billy doesn't go to work in the the tunnels like his childhood peers, choosing instead to learn how to jump through flaming hoops and strap on a boom jacket. Eventually, however, his interests turn to ballet ("I want to daaaance") and his family murders him in an honor killing. The End
