Gaza, Ukraine, Maine, Acapulco and Formula 1

Alan Alda once said, as his character Hawkeye in M*A*S*H:

Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

So I watch the videos of the destruction in Gaza, in Ukraine, in Maine, in Acapulco. ALL of those catastrophes, including the so-called "acts of God" like hurricanes, can be prevented by humans taking positive action. But we don't. We say, "They are killing us, so we have to kill them." We say, "Everyone, including psychopaths, has a right to own a gun designed to kill scores of people in a handful of seconds." We say, "Climate change is a hoax. Just more woke nonsense."

Maybe this is all God's will. If it is, then human beings have no right to continue.

Have you seen the videos of the destruction in Gaza? Bleeding kids? Dead kids? Have you heard the "Brass" in the Israeli military, the Minister of Defense? "We are fighting human animals." Even President Biden is refusing to urge Israel to obey the so-called "Laws of War". Specifically, to avoid causing civilian casualties. Yes, Hamas is evil, but Palestinian children, cripples, and old ladies are not. The UN passed a resolution to pause the bombing, but the US voted against it.

There's a Formula 1 race today. In Mexico City, a few hundred miles from where Hurricane Otis killed 27 people (maybe more now). It was a tropical storm and then 24 hours later it was a Category 5 hurricane hitting Acapulco. It could only become that strong that quickly because humans are heating the oceans with their carbon emissions. How can I sit and watch 20 rich guys burn fuel and dump carbon into the atmosphere while they race at 200 mph around in circles and go nowhere?
