Yeah, it's an editor invoked at the command line in a terminal, i.e. not a graphical mode editor.

"Social Justice", "income inequality", "police corruption", "white privilege". . .
These are all appeals to hormones, intended to stir the flesh and burn the culture for political power.
The Commies have a cottage industry coming up with this anti-intellectual tripe.

On a more serious note, the religious grandstanding within your party is in some ways similar to the sunni-shia conflict in Islam. You have a small loud faction that are dedicated to spreading their preferred message - and supporting their declaration of themselves being the best adherent - while most people could really care less.
That's a fair cop.

Do you mean freedom from religion in the same sense as "freedom from ObamaCare", or in some other way.
That is, the Left's pretense of liberty is kinda silly when they are turning the Progressive Faith into one vast, expensive, Orwellian suppository.

I know what religious freedom means. It's particularly obvious in light of the persecutions raging elsewhere in the world.
But I suspect you of harboring a "meaning" meaning there.

Journal Journal: We've been spelling it wrong for over a quarter century 8
I'm surprised that this hasn't been addressed by the academic communities. Someone with a degree in English or linguistics or something like that should have though of this decades ago.
This word (actually more than one word) has various spellings, and I've probably used all of them at one time or another. The word is email, or eMail, or e-mail, or some other variation. They're all wrong.

Yes, if I were in college I'd certainly only lug one book around -- my notebook computer. I'd keep all the schoolbooks on the computer.
As to elderly eyesight, when I was a kid, all the geezers wore glasses, but few young people. Now all the youngsters have glasses and few geezers do. Why? The young are ruining their eyesight with computers, tablets, and phones much like I ruined mine with books.
But when I was a kid, cataract surgery was still rare. The patent on the CrystaLens should expire around 2023, so most oldsters won't need any glasses, since it not only cures cataracts but nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It won't be long before I have to get the other eye done.

We now have a "right to work" billionaire as governor of Illinois. He's calling for "right to work" zones, fortunately the legislature isn't going to let him.
If I weren't retired and lived in a "right to work" state, I would demand that the state's government supply me with employment. After all, if it's my RIGHT to work...
"Right to work" is a flat out bald faced lie, and any working person who supports it is a moron.

So you're saying that despite the 100% apparent Constitutional earnestness of the Convention of States, it's really a stealth aristocracy program.
