Brazil's growing violence

7.6: web.pol/purges/prison/Brazil's growing violence:
. why is brazil gang violence up in the late 1990's?
. in 1920 when most death was from infections,
the population was 35 million,
but after that the population growth went exponential
-- 1960: 70M, 1980: 119M, 1990: 146M,
2000: 170M --
and the pressures of overpopulation
combined with access to drugs and guns
has produced a very active crime activity .
. by far the highest murder rates are in cities
-- the icons of overpopulation .
. like the usa, most Brazilian offenders are
males under age 30 with no high school degree;
we need to spend less on prisons
and spend more for paying youth to do well in school,
and pay people not to breed .

#christianity evolvers

7.6: relig/christianity/evolvers:
. the reason we never save for 7 years
to cover for the 7-year famines that cause war
as the bible warns us of,
is that we are too eager about
following the bible's other lesson:
be fruitful and multiply to fill the earth .
-- see, there is never a famine in your own land,
there is only conquering of other lands!
. the bible was created by us
to pat ourselves on the back .
...
so looking at the entire bible,
you see them only documenting the forces of nature,
[12.29: as directed by supernature]
not showing the way of salvation or peace;
[12.29: you assume salvation is peace,
but salvation is perfection through evolution].
. you could say nature provides salvation;
because, conquering is evolution is
agility and strength .

ethyl esters of fish oil raise fasting #insulin

7.5: web.health/ethyl esters of fish oil raise fasting insulin:
7.5: 12.29: summary:
. the natural form of fish oil
is to bond the EPA and DHA fatty acides
within a triglyceride or phospholipid;
but a more concentrated cheaper way
is by bonding with an ethyl ester;
testing of olive ethyl ester was positive,
but ethyl esters of fish oils
resulted in significantly increased
fasting levels of insulin
(suggesting they cause insulin resistance?)
todo:
. the doses of fish oil were rather high;
so does an equivalent dose of natural fish oil
have a similar effect on insulin ?

Mormons are Jewish++

6.19: news.relig/judaism/mormons are Jewish++:
adapted from tabletmag.com:
. unlike many other Christian groups,
Mormons do not believe that
God abrogated his covenant with the Jews
or replaced them with a non-Jewish "new Israel".
Rather, Mormons consider themselves to be
part of the Israelite community including Jews.
. LDS theology is "inclusionist"
rather than supercessionist.
