Our secular Democracy implicitly grants religious freedoms to all. A good thing. But if you're Christian and want to vote into law tenets of Christianity, you open the possibility of a different religious majority in the future out-voting you, instituting their laws instead.
fredcCan you teach this old dog new tricks.
(Browsing job listings in my field is depressing.)
Since it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, how about older tricks instead. This old coder (ie, moi) is thinking of learning an older language, COBOL. Now, where to find some learning materials…
