I couldn’t get through the phrase “worldwide response to the Panama Papers” without a derisive laugh and a lunge toward the nearest bottle of whiskey.

Five bucks says Kaufman pulls off the Trump mask by the end of 2018. Bet?

Plantation owners weren't huge fans of black people, either.

Really, this is the difference between animal rights and animal welfare. People who believe in animal rights tend to argue that animals should have (some of) the same rights to life, liberty and happiness that we enjoy, while people who believe in animal welfare just think that we have a responsibility to make sure it doesn't suffer while it's in our custody, even if that custody ultimately ends in slaughter and consumption.

Thanks for the detail, that’s interesting. With regard to 2b, can you speculate as to how that would play out if we actually had a lunar colony? Would there be a potential reinterpretation of lunar dust being okay because it’s the best you can do and it’s what the place you’re in is made out of, or would people who wanted kosher slaughter have to truck some legit dirt up there? What if you’re out in the desert with regular Earth sand with no dirt around - I assume no kosher slaughter means no meat?

Also, what about test tube steaks? Let’s say I just ‘unplug’ the thing and slap in on the grill. Is it kosher because it circumvents all the above requirements, or does that make it not kosher?

I know these are oddball questions, but how often do I get to ask someone with your qualifications. The internet is fun like that.
