Rob513264 “Wow, ‘redistributing wealth’ and ‘human sacrifice’ – now there’s a valid comparison.”

The comparison is simple and not “wowserish” at all; neither have any contemporary support or examples to give them currency.

Most particularly your notion of “Jubilee” has only been practiced in recent times in UK, a celebration of her Majesties 50 years on the throne of England and the British Empire (As represented by the Commonwealth), such as it is. It had stuff all to do with wealth redistribution.

I do not answer to the woefully ignorant who question my veracity because of their own lack the manners in accepting my response regarding volunteer work. That you doubt me confirms your own untrustworthy nature and lack of character.

Regarding “‘motivation in the absence of monetary reward.”
As Dearest Margaret said and I keep quoting

““people are free to make choices, to make mistakes, to be generous and compassionate.”

volunteer work and the ‘motivation in the absence of monetary reward.” Is merely one way in which some people express their “Compassion” and “generosity” of spirit.

You are probably having issues dealing with such concepts, so foreign they seem to be to you.

“Assassination would be redundant for someone who so consistently shoots themselves in the foot.”

Oh the churlish snipes of the wannabe. You could probably shoot yourself in the head with a shot gun and still not hit a vital organ.
