Old White Cut Pork Slices With Garlic Sesame

Unless the public sin of a believer is dealt with publicly, people will think the church does not take sin seriously and therefore gives tacit approval of it. A church that does not discipline sinning members (including the most prominent members) loses its credibility, because it does not take seriously its own doctrines and standards. A child who is not disciplined when he does wrong soon concludes that his parent’s standards are not really very important, because they are not enforced.

INSTRUCTIONS

Fresh ham or a fairly fat cut of pork is traditionally used for this
recipe, but boneless lean pork loin makes a delicious and leaner
substitute. For a nontraditional presentation, serve the pork with
grilled asparagus spears, Asian eggplant and/or zucchini slices. Or,
arrange the slices on a bed of watercress with strips of roasted
pepper and serve as a first course salad. Or, simply alternate the
pork with thin rounds of chilled cucum- ber.  Bring the water to a boil
in a large pot, then add the pork, green  onions, ginger, garlic and
wine. Bring to a boil again. Skim off the  scum that rises to surface.
Cover, reduce heat low and simmer for 45  minutes.  When the meat is
done, half fill a large pan with cold water and ice  cubes. Remove the
meat from the pot and immediately plunge it into  the ice water; let
sit for 20 minutes to firm up the meat and juices.  Remove pork, pat
dry, cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled,  at least 2 to 3
hours, or overnight.  Garlic Sesame Sauce: Mix together all
ingredients.  To serve: Cut the meat crosswise into paper-thin slices
(no thicker  than 1/8 inch) and arrange in a circular pattern on a
plate. Serve  sauce on the side or drizzle it over the pork. Garnish
with fresh  coriander eaves.  PER SERVING: 120 calories, 14 g protein,

Thirty-eight states treat the killing of an unborn child as a form of homicide. They have what are called “fetal homicide laws.” It is illegal to take the life of the unborn if the mother wants the baby, but it is legal to take the life of the unborn if she doesn’t. In the first case the law treats the fetus as a human with rights; in the second case the law treats the fetus as non-human with no rights. Humanness is thus defined by the desire of the strong. Might makes right. We reject this right to define personhood in the case of Nazi anti-Semitism, Confederate race-based slavery, and Soviet Gulags. When we define the humanness of the unborn by the will of the powerful we know what we are doing.
