Regardless of the ease it represents, giving Microsoft exactly what they want simply makes no sense, any more than giving in to any bully thief or pervert. They all represent occasions to let them take what they have nor ight to.
People have no right to complain if they give away their trust without complaint or objection thinking something good will spring up from the dung heap of their plans.
Having a virulently narcissisitc president into whom government pours money is siomply obscene, especially when the largesse involved is inevitably stolen from the people to support those who make the bombs and technology with which to carry out predatory policies of warfare.
The result of the grossity of the theft incurred is the tragedy of lost lives, both of our citizens or the citizens of countries suffering the oblitteration of their society.
Peace is never the result of threats and insinuations. It is the result of good faith and the acknowledgement that people are human beings, entitled to live in safety and safety. In a real sense, peace is the result of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, and in those societies where that is recognised, there is peace and safety, but not otherwise. Those peoples who respect one another and support one another welcome diversity and the creativity. Where there is neither, there is only violence, destruction and death. We must make it true in our hearts so that they unite to Christ's Sacred Heart and the sacrifice of His Mother in giving Herself to Christ for our sake. There can be no peace where it is not requested of the Mother of God. One of the hallmarks of Her presence in peace. It is quiet around Her, and around Jesus so that if you crave peace and quiet, you turn to Mary and Jesus together as advocates of the fulfillment of ourselves, because fulfillment is the natural and abundant outcome of encounters with God.
