sure, the first half is full of stories passed on by word-of-mouth for generations, including commandments set in stone -- and endorses throwing stones, and was heavily edited over centuries to suit societal norms of the day, and is still used to justify an assortment of discriminations -- and accusations of abominations, BUT... the star of the 2nd half is the most liberal historical character that ever walked on earth or water. it is the bio of a man who clearly was "his brother's keeper" and "did unto others as he would have them do unto him." humble, selfless, giving, forgiving, self-sacrificing, foot washing, peace loving, materialistic shunning, cheek turning, greed rejecting, compassionate, charitable, and universal health care supporting the man was all about free handouts, especially to the poor. Today he'd be called a woke, hippie, snowflake --the Democrat's dream candidate -- a gift from God to the Green Party. And he'd be crucified as a commie by the religious right. [The old testament was written by various writers 1500 - 1000 BC. About 45 to 50 years after Christ, the new testament was written by people under the names of the Apostles]

Americans will look back one bright blue day and say, "I can't believe we used to let money control our elections and politicians!" As is, the corruption continues because: the politicians in office won the money game and won't bite the hand that feeds them. mainstream media won't call it out. They sell ad airtime to big spenders--us, trying to compete with big biz money. too many of us accept the misconception that the interests of big biz and us are compatible. Because we have a shot to move from the have-not column to the have-more-than-I'd-ever-need column, it's all good. Even those knowing, willing, and able to fight for what society really needs, too often take their eye off the prize -- to recognize, what in mathematical terms, is called -- THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS: The horse that is needed to carry all the other needs in the cart is ELECTION REFORM -- public financing, increased voting opportunities, secure verifiable voting, etc.. It doesn't matter which candidates or what legislation the public piles into the cart because there is nothing to carry it over the money barriers. Big Business money power fuels elections and re-elections. It buys the politicians and legislation they want. We're left holding the empty bag. The result is the economy we have today. Big Biz profits and the deficit are at an all-time high, real wages are at an all-time low, and public services are being cut. Not fixing the election system and trying to get what you want out of government is like PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE!
