My brother back in Vermont has had several colonoscopies over the years for diagnosis of recurring digestive issues he has had since his youth. He told me that the equipment has improved over the years from feeling like a 2x4 rammed up his sphincter to feeling like being tickled with a feather. I asked him how he knew what being tickled in the butt with a feather felt like.

If everybody looked the same, there would be no point to looking.

Point taken. Things to be thankful for heading into 2o17. As far as I know, the majority of stem cells inhabiting my colon crypts still have two functional copies of the APC tumor suppressor. And I see different ghost dancers than transplanted northeast city boy sheriff Joe. Apologies for grasping at straws.
I was responding to this:
.... a bizarre waste of the nation's wealth.
A radical reduction of the military budget would require a renunciation of war, a refusal to use military solutions for international disputes. It would speak to the fundamental human desire (overwhelmed too often by barrages of superpatriotic slogans) to live at peace with others.
Obviously we don't arbitrarily attacking other countries for no apparent reason.
Some folks apparently believe we travel the globe instigating problems.

Doesn't sound like anything is being "bent", they're updating rules to accommodate other religions. Maybe they should not allow any religious observance instead?

CA Democrats Usher in 2017 by Making Child Prostitution Legal
SB 1322 bars law enforcement from arresting sex workers who are under the age of 18 for soliciting or engaging in prostitution, or loitering with the intent to do so. So teenage girls (and boys) in California will soon be free to have sex in exchange for money without fear of arrest or prosecution.

Britain scolded U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for describing the Israeli government as the most right-wing in Israeli history, a move that aligns Prime Minister Theresa May more closely with President-elect Donald Trump.
In an unusually sharp public rebuke of Obama's top diplomat, May's spokesman said that Israel had coped for too long with the threat of terrorism and that focusing only on the settlements was not the best way to achieve peace between Jew and Arab.
London also took particular issue with Kerry's description of Netanyahu's coalition as "the most right-wing in Israeli history, with an agenda driven by its most extreme elements."
"We do not believe that it is appropriate to attack the composition of the democratically-elected government of an ally," May's spokesman said when asked about Kerry 70-minute speech in the State Department's auditorium.
