The US is warming to Sweden’s habit of burning trash for energy

I’m not so sure burning trash is a great idea. It may be a little better than burning fossil fuels, but it’s still burning Methane. Besides the Methane and CO2, what about the toxins from God-knows-what might be in the burnt trash? Yeah…not sure this is the right direction, though I suppose it’s marginally better than landfills.

Pope: Women will be banned from priesthood forever

Uggh. Then maybe we need to get rid of the Catholic Church, because sexist discrimination is WRONG. Using religion to justify discrimination is perhaps one of the most hypocritical things you can do. Not to mention, women tend to make better clergy. Women are more compassionate and nurturing, and are statistically less likely to be pedofiles.

This legal opioid is leaving a lethal trail in the US

U-47700, a synthetic opioid known as “pink,” has killed dozens and has yet to be banned. Not that banning it will do any good. We all know how useless prohibition is. How about we just legalize weed and people will forget about opioids because they don’t need them? (except in extreme cases where all other pain management methods fail.) #Opioids
