I'm not sure they thought that far ahead.

The Framers included both Article IV, § 4, which promises that the federal government “shall protect each [State] against invasion,” and Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which acknowledges “the States' sovereign interest in protecting their borders.”

I take it to mean the creation account is from God's perspective not ours.

I don't have the slightest problem with modern science and it's reckoning of creation.

The universe started with light in both accounts.

Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.” Romans 3:4

Israel was recreated in one day. As prophesied.

"Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children." Isaiah 66:8

On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day.[1]

>The Biblical concept of Hell as we know it (the place of eternal punishment) didn't emerge until the New Testament as it was in a way redundant.

The OT did have a concept of Hell. It is called "Sheol"[1].

"Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat, and opens wide its enormous jaws, and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers!"

Isaiah 5:14

"As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned. "

Job 24:19

I could go on.

>The Genesis creation story states that God created the universe in 6 days, but any attempt to demonstrate that it is false will have believers declaring that a "day" is not a precise measurement of time.

The Bible is rather clear that God doesn't measure time like humans do.

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

2 Peter 3:8

You are downplaying the role of an emergency use authorization. "Reasonable belief" sounds experimental to me. Otherwise they would've had all the information needed for FDA approval, it wouldn't have been predicated on belief, and it wouldn't have been labeled emergency use.

Why are you so adverse to accepting the reality of the situation?

"The process for issuing an EUA is different than an FDA approval. Under an EUA, the FDA authorizes uses of medical products based on a reasonable belief that the product may be effective based on the best evidence available at the time, without waiting for all the information that would be needed for an FDA approval."[1]

Drilling big holes, cutting the slab etc.

Also if it is a tension slab you absolutely cannot cut into it.

Emergency use authorization is experimental.

Otherwise it wouldn't be "emergency use".

Compelled vaccination is against the Nuremburg code. Compelled medical experiments are crime against humanity. Have you no ethics?

1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion, and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonably to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment.[1]

You need to give them a purpose.

The trades come to mind.

I've been homeless.

Family, carpentry, and labor brought me out of the gutter.

I was a software engineer before my fiance died from asthma and I went off the deep end.

We should institute forced sobriety and work programs. And mental institutions for those that are suffering from mental illness beyond that which can be helped by hard work.

I would wager most of the people who think they know the answer to these problems have, at best, a periphery experience with this issue.

I do body weight exercises and stretch every day. They are easy to do during breaks from coding, and don't require any special equipment.

I am really fond of the L-sit as it works so many muscle groups and makes for a strong core. It's something you may have to work up to though.

I also meditate. It is great for concentration and overall well-being.

That is impressive.

Speaking of avoiding discomfort.

If you have a lawn, you should cultivate it with vegetables. It's easy to produce a surplus that you can share.

Unless you want to avoid putting any sweat equity in...

No I started raising my own beef.

Restorative agriculture for the win.

I won't be eating crickets or vegan burgers or whatever zealots think I should eat. Or be deprived of eating.

Correct, a single individual or small group would get clobbered.

Tell that to the Mexican government.

In the long run they will run out of jackboots willing to risk not coming home to their families at the end of the day.

I drink approx 1 gallon of water every two hours or so when I work outside in the heat.

Best to work 6am to noon rather than afternoon.

The sun intensity is worse than the heat, imo.

I raise my own beef (just a couple) and eat it as much as possible. And I grow virtually all my own vegetables.

Grow your own food, cuts out industrial ag and the massive transportation required to move the food.

If you have a lawn, turn it into a garden. The yields will be more than your family can eat and you can share it. Unless you don't want to put any sweat in and just want some easy feel good solution..

Affirmative action meets the definition of systemic racism.

Policies and practices that exist throughout a whole society or organization, and that result in and support a continued unfair advantage to some people and unfair or harmful treatment of others based on race[1]

That would be way too spicy for this place, Bob.

The dominate culture is degeneracy.

The counter-culture is traditionalism and Christian morality.
