China must be the most anal society on earth, the first to invest billions in facial-recognition software intended to monitor every citizen (a billion-plus) to make sure their faces always wear an expression of quiet confidence in the wisdom of Chairman Xi and The Party.  But the spyware doesn't work on people who are wearing masks against contagious, potentially deadly, disease.  Which may have started because they can't stop people from eating diseased bats.  As Confucius observed, "The wise ruler ensures that his people don't have to eat treyf  they find in caves."

Hey, I may be a religion!  I get government money (Social Security) and I don't pay income tax.  This is what all the religions might do if the Supreme Court rules that the Montana law against funding religious schools is unconstitutional.  Sweet!  All I need now is some dogma I can whine about when other people refuse to respect it enough.  In my opinion, amen.

Taking candy from a baby is supposed to be easy.  Have you tried taking their milk?
