Just as celibacy is not hereditary, self-proclamations of martyrdom defy logic. One must suffer and usually die to be considered a martyr, and that declaration comes from posterity, not the deceased. Persecution isn't a tool for self-grandiosity. There was nothing boastful or disingenuous in the charred remains of Joan of Arc, Giordano Bruno or Bishop Robert Ferrar for failing to recant their beliefs.

I don't subscribe to the old adage "What you don't know won't hurt you," especially in an age when disinformation, pervasive ignorance and deliberate distortions of fact can have profound impacts on everyone's welfare, indeed the entire biosphere. Then again, even a broken clock is correct twice a day, and not many Americans, I suspect, are familiar with geophysical changes occurring thousands of kilometers beneath our feet.

Last Thursday, President Biden delivered his annual State of the Union. He spoke of a country that has emerged from the depths of the pandemic stronger, more vibrant, and growing faster than any other developed nation. He talked about growing incomes, receding inflation, safer communities, and new investments in green energy, infrastructure, and manufacturing. It was an upbeat, optimistic speech, delivered with energy. Biden surely enjoys this part of the job, as well as sparring with Republicans.

Combining two separate New York civil cases, a disgraced former President of the United States, now an adjudicated rapist and fraudster, was fined more than half a billion dollars for combined duplicity in real estate business transactions and repeatedly defaming his sexual assault victim.

Paid sick days ensure that workers do not have to make a choice between taking care of their own health or a loved one and earning a paycheck. Connecticut was the first state in the nation to pass paid sick days in 2011. Being the first, our legislation remains fairly restrictive, only covering 12% of our workforce. Only businesses with more than fifty employees are required to offer paid sick days, and only covers workers included in a narrow list of service occupations.
