The Press-Dispatch Opinion Wednesday, October 2, 2019 C- 11 Court Report likes of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fail to real- ize that capitalism has "produced this cornucopia around us. But the young seem to believe in having the govern- ment run everything, and that the pri- vate companies that are doing things for profit around them, and supply- ing them with goods, will somehow exist forever." For the feminists, Pa- glia says, "I insist that capitalism has produced the glorious emancipation of women." Today, they can "support themselves and live on their own, and no longer must humiliatingly depend on father or husband." Reading Varadarajan's article made my day knowing that there's at least one intelligent radical feminist. But what else is to be expected from any- one who's a libertarian capitalist? Walter E.

Continued from page 10 ENQUIRING Continued from page 10 ALASKA Continued from page 10 SCAM rect that implementing policy in our deeply val- ue-fractured country re- quires careful thought to balance all competing in- terests. Only liberals, blinded by their own bias, self- absorbed with their own self-righteousness, can be so intolerant and in- sensitive to others and pretend this is the high ground and tolerance. These same warriors for the transgender cause claim that one in three transgender individuals have experienced home- lessness. If this is so common, work to establish facili- ties specific to these in- dividuals. But forcing women to sleep and share bath- rooms with men who have decided they are women is heartless indifference to the trauma this causes to the women.

And yes, knowing I won't be able to open my texts, send texts, check my Facebook and messenger, watch my fa- vorite online programs and movies could be crushing. Unless I would pay a daily fee for e-connection. I felt it's not worth it and besides I'd like to taste a life with- out those enslaving e-con- nections. You know, when you reach a certain age in life, going through a maze of schedules, requirements, constant barrage of identi- fications, documents, dead- lines, etc, etc, is not as ex- citing as when I experi- enced them in my young- er years. When I scan my surroundings and see the young generation seeming- ly having no cares and just laughing and having fun, I truly feel the envy soaking though my being. So, I try to adjust my at- titude by saying to myself, I always need to have an at- titude adjustment. A fter all, It's how you look at things. What kind of lens I will pre- fer to use as I view my dai- ly activities. So I started thinking about when and where I can get the best restaurant.What best food they offer. What next pro- gram they willprovide that we could all see and enjoy, the excursions on land we will be joining. I'm sure the pros on cruises will tell you, there's so much joy to be had when this form of vacations get into your system. It makes you dream about the next go around. Next week, I'll enumer- ate and put a comment on programs I saw and expe- rienced. I realize all six of us who went will have their unique perspectives and that's OK. • • • Humor of the week: Seen on a sign somewhere: We do Shoe repairs. We will heel you, repair your sole and dye as well. Wisdom of the week: Be grateful for all the bless- ings that come along the way. Be kind to all, and be aware everyone has an is- sue which heavily weighs in their life. A kind comment, a smile, a helping hand, an uplifting advice can make a differ- ence in easing the difficult challenges of life. Have a blessed week. traditional] Christians say so much about what Christ said so little about, and so little about what he said so much about." Mayor Pete's theology was appraised by T R Clan- cy who wrote, "Progres- sives who make inferences about what Jesus would have done or would teach today 'have only casual ac- quaintance with the Gos- pels,'" as revealed by the trite summaries they offer, such as Mayor Pete's, that "[e]very other word that comes out of the mouth of Christ is about things like helping those in need." Take this theological ax- iom to its logical conclu- sion. Jesus cures and helps all: the blind, the deaf, the possessed, the lame, the sinful; yet it is within the realm of helping that He would say, "blessed are those who chose health for they can kill their chil- dren." I can hear another beati- tude, "blessed are they that encourage euthanasia, for they encourage union with God." The modern pro- gressive theological allows anyone to formulate a new blessing! The modern progressive theologian that has been on display in the American po- litical system for decades is encouraging the faithful Christian to jump from the Gospel Ship to join their rudderless tramp steamer. Elements within the church that have jumped upon the progressive band- wagon fail to see that they are embracing a theolo- gy with no substance. Sin now becomes harming ev- erything they are against, instead of sin originating within the dark recesses of the human heart. Well minded are we to ponder Paul's admonition about the ancients where he wrote, "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imag- inations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Pro- fessing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to cor- ruptible man.…" It is a dangerous thing to remake the invisible God who was revealed in Christ Jesus, into what we want Him to be. Think about it! ing that a low-income work- er gets more back per dol- lar paid in than a high-in- come worker (although the system is a bad deal for all workers compared to put- ting the money into a per- sonal retirement account). But even a New Dealer like FDR never meant it to be an explicit welfare pro- gram with the rich paying largely the freight for the costs of everyone else. Ms. Warren wants to even pro- vide benefits to people who rarely if ever paid into the system at all. There is a much better way to increase the Social Security benefits for young workers without raising taxes on anyone. That is to let all workers take 10 per- cent of their paychecks and rather than the money go- ing into the hollow Social Security trust fund, invest those dollars into a per- sonally owned index fund of stocks. This would allow almost all young workers to gain real wealth through their working years and retire with more than $1 million to $2 million of real sav- ings that could pay them benefits of not $200 more a month, but monthly pay- ments that would easily double their promised So- cial Security benefit. One of these propos- als vastly increases work- er freedom and personal wealth for all Americans of all income groups, and the other grows government and raises crippling taxes in ways that would steer the economy over the reces- sion cliff. Sad, but no sur- prise that Ms. Warren, who pretends to be a warrior for the little guy, has wrongly chosen the latter.
