In fact, all the words we use to attempt to prove or to disprove a
"reasoned universe" are simply words made up to express human
feelings. What the universe does or does not do cannot be expressed
with Man Made words. This universe...so named by us...is as strange
to Humans as the world is strange to goldfish swimming in a bowl on
the dining room table. .

The Historical Background of the 1934 Teamster’s Strike in Minneapolis
Presented by Dave Riehle, retired railroad worker and local labor historian
Join us for a Socialist Action webinar series to commemorate the
anniversary of Bloody Friday (July 20) when 67 strikers were shot in the
back by police, and 2 killed. Learn about the origins of the police
force, their role in upholding racism, oppression and in protecting
private property and the interests of the ruling class.

“The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all
decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this
sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are
running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being
devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying
of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time
of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the
population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In
a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic
replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to
get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice.
The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect
if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but
pitiless indifference.”
― Richard Dawkins, River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life
