Perhaps Mary’s life experiences had taught her not to trust science and doctors or people in authority.”

β€œWe don’t know why Mary didn’t trust science and doctors. According to social research, a person’s trust level is set by their mid twenties…Furthermore, the more you distrust people, social researchers say, the less civil you’re likely to act and behave toward others.

To not practice any religion because no god of good would create a world with such hate or pain.
An education free of indoctrination.
That’s patriotic to me.
A place where privilege isn’t flexed.
Others needn’t yearn for it. For it is freely shared in each individual way
That’s patriotic to me.

Not freedom that comes from bombing abroad. But the freedom to walk outside as a woman alone.
That’s patriotic to me.
To be free to not practice Christianity in a non Christian nation. Because that’s what I so choose.

Isn’t it strange they think themselves more patriotic than I?
I who believes in the America that offers opportunity for all. Who believes in accessible health care, unbanned books, and freedom?
I mean real freedom.

β€œHuman experience long ago taught us that if we allowed a man or a group of men autocratic power, they used that power to oppose or defraud the public.”

β€œI once was foolish enough to believe knowledge would clarify, but some things are so gauzed behind layers of syntax and semantics, behind days and hours, names forgotten, salvaged and shed, that simply knowing the wound exists does nothing to reveal it.”
