John, about Stephen Hawking, that was my dry humor that he, though brilliant, can be wrong on things. He was wrong with his bet with L. Susskind, he was wrong politically, but obviously went along to get along with his fellow UK academics. No I am not advising the Scandinavians to change a thing. However, here is a correction for you. The Scandinavians are no longer, economically, socialist fellow travellers. Heed this epistle from Forbes 2018.https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffreydorfman/2018/07/08/sorry-bernie-bros-but-nordic-countries-are-not-socialist/?sh=1ca87fcb74ad Off topic, but related, because of this, here is a result of not being stuck in 1970 utopianism: One is this Danish company planning to mass produce salt moderated fission reactors for use at sea. Let me know what your opinion is, and if you think it might work or be a disaster on the high seas?https://newatlas.com/energy/seaborg-floating-nuclear-reactor-barge/ When I refer to the socialists mass killing people this fact cannot be disputed. For China, yes sir, their economics have changed absolutely, but the Party, the Communist Party China is still is full tyrannical control. Not the millionaires, nor the billionaires, but the Party Members. Sarcastically, I ask, or what's a JackMa for? Consider this BBC link an introduction to Jack Ma if you don't know who the hell is?https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57490949
The Hitler Atheist thing is, for me, irrelevant John. The thing about the truth in human history is that it is appalling. Atheism didn't cause Joe Stalin, or Pol Pot to be more reasonable. Apparently, neither does Muhammad, or Jesus.

Like those in Sweden and Denmark? It's true that 3 of the 4 most evil dictators of the 20th century were Communists, and Mao Zedong was one of them, but today China is Communist in name only. Communism is as dead as a doornail, you're going to need to find a new bogeyman. > I believe the people who do mass murder always need an excuse. I believe that too, and the perfect excuse is "God told me to do it". George W.

And to a dictator there is no idiot more useful or more beloved than a religious idiot.
