I believe there is a Commandment that tells us, "thou shalt not noodle around with women whose spouse is an arsonist or can do things that blow-up real good."

Mint Press: Kamela Harris wants Clinton-donor money.
In addition to having employed numerous Clinton and Obama staffers, Harris has also been busy privately courting their old donors. Notably, while she has been courting Clinton’s biggest and most influential donors during a series of private luncheons and meetings in the Hamptons, Harris’ fledgling campaign has been eager to portray her as a “crowd-funded” candidate. Indeed, when one visits Harris’ campaign website, a banner immediately appears that reads “Alert! Kamala refuses to accept donations from corporate PACS! Add your donation here.”

[Carl] Cederstrom, who is also the author of the book "The Happiness Fantasy", warned that the focus by employers on their staff's wellbeing allows them to "achieve more control over employees".

"Now even in work places where people work for the minimum wage they are expected to be happy," he said.

He said that many elites harbour a "naive illusion" that poverty can be resolved through personal fulfilment [sic] schemes.

"Happiness is such a vague idea that it is easily exploited."
Happiness was, for eight years, also known as Hope and Change.

Courthouse News ServiceJudge says he is not fit to say what's best for gorilla.
Despite warnings that a 37-year-old ape might die if transferred to an Ohio zoo, a federal judge said Thursday he can only settle matters of law, not what’s best for the well-being of the late Koko the gorilla’s longtime friend Ndume.

I’m not the sterling professor of gorilla care,” U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg said in court Thursday. “I’m a judge. I have to look at the contractual terms and see if the risks are so great as to defeat the contractual purpose.”
 Another reason we need gorillas as judges.
