Want Not, Waste Not

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.

Hannah Arendt

 

 

 

Now if only the Nazis, who were big into ecology by the way, had used this as a defense for Auschwitz:

 

 The British Columbia Health Ministry has admitted that the remains of babies destroyed by abortion in B.C. facilities are ending up in a waste-to-power facility in the United States, providing electricity for residents of Oregon.

The province’s Health Ministry said in an email to the B.C. Catholic that “biomedical waste” shipped to the U.S. to be incinerated includes “human tissue, such as surgically removed cancerous tissue, amputated limbs, and fetal tissue.”

“The ministry understands that some is transferred to Oregon. There it is incinerated in a waste-to-energy plant,” the email stated.

The ministry said that contractors handling the province’s “biomedical waste” follow “health and safety protocols, as well as federal, provincial, and local regulations.”

Go here to read the appalling rest.  Alexander Pope gave us the proper commentary on this monstrosity long ago:

“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”

Truly terrible evil on this planet is usually not done in hot blood.  It is done cold bloodedly by people who view evil as routine and practical.

Excellent post!

Alexander Pope and todays heartless culture, a match if there ever was one.

Disorder is todays order…take Homosexuality….the order du’jour.
Abortion on demand…the house specialty!

We continue to Pray as the early Christians were lead to the lions.
We must remember that it was their innocent blood that finally contributed to the conversions of a bloodthirsty Rome.

Our time is coming. The overflow of innocent blood on our once holy ground will be vindicated! The popular culture that glorifies sodomy will not last! The days are coming. The vindicator will have the Last Word!

God had a strong response against Israel and Judah for this sort of thing. God does not change. His response does not change. His justice does not change. And He will be merciful towards unborn babies. We will not like His brand of mercy when it is meted out.

Want and Waste. Describes our world. Our spiritual Want is self inflicted. Like anorexia or bulimia we don’t accept or retain our beautiful spiritual heritage. Self indulgence impoverishes us. Leaves no food for the children, what children we still have.

“Leaves no food for the children, what children we still have.” Anzlyne-

Degeneration is fact. Both spiritual and corporal. Much of the spiritual food is poisoned, not just salt that has lost it’s flavor, but truly poisoned with anti-God propaganda. A comedian recently was praising his five year old son for telling his dad “Im an atheist!” Then the boy asked if it’s still ok to get toys from Santa. Five years old! Nice work Dad.

Sickened, yes; outraged, no. This could be one of those things where my bearings are off. But is there a second half to the sentence “I had an abortion and…” that is any more or less morally offensive?

This was being done nine miles from my house. Oregon Right to Life was all over this. Our county commissioners held an emergency meeting to stop it. The county was apparently misled about the nature of what Canada was shipping down to be burned. If they had not I may have had to cancel my electricity and install solar panels and a wood stove.

I’m reminded of St. Kolbe and the smoke Ashes and tears floating out the smokestacks in Auschwitz. So many tears! What a shame. No room for unwanted children.

Yes Philip The birds don’t flock or sing in the air space over Dachau- even after all these years. Yes Donald, truly demonic.
Genocide- Armenians, WWII, Stalin, Mao, PolPot. We point fingers. the 20th century, Today’s martyrs How can we respond?
God bless Oregon Right to Life. God bless bloggers like TAC who keep the issues in front of us when discouraged Catholics like me just want to cry and look away.

Absent evil, the innocent human soul “knows”. These souls “know”. Some say the person must have self awareness to be human. But, before the human soul is conscious of its own life, separated from God, the human soul knows God. How could he not know his Creator? During the crime of abortion, during being incinerated, too, the human soul “knows” the evil being wrought upon him.
Separating the human being from his immortal soul is the horrible crime of homicide. Coming between God and His love for man is indeed the depths of hell. Incinerating the murdered bodies of abortion victims is human sacrifice in the fullest meaning of human sacrifice.

Yes, Anzlyne, at least the birds respect the souls of the victims.

It is true Mary – “the innocent human soul “knows”. These souls “know”. Some say the person must have self awareness to be human. But, before the human soul is conscious of its own life, separated from God, the human soul knows God.’
The human soul, created for Love, knows, has an affinity for that Love. Body blood soul and humanity of that person is created by God the Father at conception. I believe there is some kind of awareness of self and of Love from the very beginning.
.
Such a great mystery would that the world had the grace and humility to properly be in awe.

All knowledge is not in the brain. “Brain death” or lack of developed brain does Not preclude knowledge.
Several times the bible refers to the thoughts of our hearts!

Heard this on the Lars Larson show yesterday.

The poor guy who came on to speak for the power company sounded exhausted and kinda heart-sick.

You know, I was just thinking. The people who use babies in waste to electricity plants are the same people who oppose nuclear power because of their fear that radiation will kill babies. To be a liberal progressive anti-nuclear Democrat is to be the epitome of illogic.
