Hate speech against Christians

Hate speech and messages filled with gleeful hate are always wrong even when they are aimed at Christians.  Homosexuals are right to complain about hate speech directed at them because of their sexual orientation but many people direct venomous bile at Christians because of their religion and then don't even see how wrong their own prejudice is.  Other religious groups escape some of this persecution.  Some radical Islamic extremists will even kill you for mild insults involving their religion so maybe they don't get this type of persecution as often.

Personally, I think it is better to promote a positive message of your own views rather than try to use hate speech and social media bigotry to denigrate the views of another person or group.  Hate speech and prejudice did work well for Adolf Hitler for a time but only with ignorant people already predisposed to his evil message.  Unfortunately, hate speech on social media and government persecution against religious groups seems to be the latest fad taking America by storm.

Amazon Fire TV is incompatible with Antennae broadcast TV.

I refuse to pay for cable TV because it is priced too high. This is kind of a moot point because I wouldn't have the money even if I wanted to get cable.  We use broadcast antennae TV combined with an Amazon Fire TV internet device which does not have any monthly fee.  We were having a little trouble with the reception on the antennae until we started unplugging the Fire TV box when we want to watch broadcast over the air.  The Fire TV box definitely interferes with reception of broadcast TV on certain days and therefore needs to be unplugged.  This is a minor inconvenience but it is worth it to me to eliminate the cable bill.

I doubt I would watch any cable TV even if we had it.  All I watch on TV is news and American football.  The Amazon 50 mile range antennae gets excellent reception if set up correctly and it picks up all local channels.  The Fire TV operating over the internet has access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime video, numerous news apps, games, many other types of apps and more stuff than I want to watch.  Why would anyone pay all that money for cable TV

when its all just junk anyways?

Coffee is a gift from God !

Drinking my coffee at 5 AM makes me feel almost human again.  I believe that coffee can cure most ills and human attitudes.  They used to have free espresso at the Froedtert GI clinic but they stopped that practice by the time I left for Aurora. The Aurora Hartford clinic has free coffee which is great because its my home away from home.  Nothing seems that bad when you drink that first cup of coffee in the morning.
