It's been a few days since I wrote my last post, lazy, days stretched into weeks.
It all started when Facebook asked me to reverify my ID, I was in the middle of renewing my license so all I had was a paper copy, not acceptable, my military ID, not acceptable, finally I did get my new license, still I had to answer the "word puzzle, failed, I had to find a notary to confirm that I am who I say I am. It was accepted, but my ad account is still suspended until I log onto a real computer and try to understand what Facebook means by "ad set", no clue.
Every computer programmer believes that everyone must understand whatever their personal code is.
Isn't it the same as what the politicians believe when they talk "between the lines", it is sometimes called a "dog whistle", which has actually how we have become accustomed to speaking in our everyday conversations, nothing ever means what we think it means.
Most of believe that we know, because we follow the news, or watch certain commentaries, but most of us will also agree that the same are propagandists, as are paid to promote certain viewpoints. "Influencers" means that they are influencing to feel a certain way.
The only defense we have is to always listen to varying viewpoints and then make up our minds.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, I had stated that we created the war and that we were more deeply involved than we let on. I was against the war in Iraq and claimed that Colin Powell lied at the
UN and that there were no WMDs. I also predicted the consequences of the recent disease that killed over a million. It is what you study, and what you actually learn, not propaganda, not listening to those that are paid to misinform us.
Please do like the page, share the page, share my posts, I will work on getting this page going again.
Thank you

"Curb your enthusiasm"
Still 4 April 2023 for a just a few more minutes.
It is not that charges are unfair, there hasn't been a "crime", as defined in law. But it still exposes the hypocrisy of of our justice system, it shows how unfair the system is, it also exposes the corruption of congress, the justice system, and the tax codes and enforcement.
What the indictments are about is what goes on everyday, all over the country and at all levels. That is how we do things, there isn't a developer or bank that does not lie, appraisal are falsified, bothsides know, and the IRS doesn't bat an eye, the ultra rich are never caught, if you know of any billionaires going to jail, let me know. The super rich only get caught when they cheat (rob) their own.
The Congress has made laws that allow the rich (their sponsors) to do whatever they please, and why not, remember Trump himself bragged about giving money to both state and federal officials.
The justice system is broken, the IRS is broken, the Congress is broken, while we worry about the petty crime and hapless thugs, the real robbing and stealing goes on in the broad daylight on Wall Street and the Capitol Hill.
Whether you are happy or you are upset, calm down, nothing will happen, nothing of any real consequence. We will not lock up any billionaire crooks, or
bankers, no one will be tried for evading taxes or lying to a bank, it is charade, a circus, a sideshow. No one is being persecuted. They are all part of the game. 20 years from now no one will remember, nothing would've been learned. We fought and lost in Vietnam and then we went to Iraq and nobody said a word. Obama won a Nobel peace prize and he authorized killing of Americans in America without a trial. Newt impeached Clinton while he himself was screwing his secretary,
We never learn anything
There is nothing new under the sun

"Curb your enthusiasm "
April 4 2023,
Have you been watching the news? I have, I am disgusted.
There is not much in a manner of great historical events for this date, today is, however, National Carrot Day, if you care.
Today, is an historic day, they keep saying, but don't agree.
Whether you like Trump, or you don't, it doesn't really matter, he will be indicted today, 34 counts, Whether you are sad, angry, excited or happy, it is not good.
Set your feet back on the ground.
It is not Trump that is being indicted, today Anerica herself, will be indicted, charged, and found guilty, all of us , everyone of us should hang our heads in shame, left, right and center, we have all been found guilty, we have been found lacking.
Earlier, I posted a link to the "sermon on the mount", listen to it. You don't have to be Christian or a person of faith, you don't have to kneel, I also posted a link link link to a 1985 song by Pete Townsend. You don't have to believe in philosophy or prophecy, just listen to the words, if not the message.
It is not about Trump, or his guilt, or crime, it is about us, it is about America, who we are, what we proclaim ourselves to be and how we have gone against everything we claim to be.
It is not about your favorite politician, or against, it is about us.
If the charges stick, or not, it doesn't matter, in this week of Easter,
Why are we all guilty? Pay attention, think,

"Curb your enthusiasm "
I didn't write the past few nights.
It is always, already, late when I get time to write, and it takes a while to write a page or two, so I will start writing a note or two everyday instead. They may or may not be related , but I will expand on the topics topics as I go along.
This page page is not to make money, as in it is not monetized, it won't be, I am only here to share some thoughts and ideas and always look forward to your comments.
There is a theory that , as civilizations "advance", they self destruct, and as humanity is advancing, we may meet the same fate.
Our problem is that we are writing our own death warrant. Even if one doesn't believe in "climate change" , there are other facts that we ignore. There is pollution, there is over population and there is the threat of nuclear war. And they are all interrelated. As in each factor is the cause of the other.
Pollution is a result of consumption, population is the reason for consumption, consumption means need for resources, need for resources causes war.
Where to? What will become of humanity, how do we survive, since the population "causes" consumption, and consumption cause both the war and the pollution.
Let's talk.

Let's not get lost in arguing the facts, facts don't require deliberations and exceptions, exemptions and caveats.
I am not a liberal or a conservative, a Republican or a Democrat, we don't need labels, if we accept the facts as Americans we can make progress instead of spinning wheels we can move forward.
Sadly, that is not what our politicians want, not what our leaders want, they want to be followed,, they want to be reelected, they want to be worshipped. Like in North Korea, like Mao in China, like Stalin in the Soviet Union.
Everything has consequences, all policies have undesirable affects, all policies have unknown consequences. All coins have two sides, all the great policies also have bad results,
But what is one to think. I had mentioned many years ago that we are being entertained to death, if not so physically, we are mostly brain dead, we have all the symptoms, most of us are nothing more than useful idiots. No one need do an experiment, MK Ultra is alive and kicking.
We have become a living parody. Left, right and center. And why not. For the past 60 years or so we have been trained to think that being absurd is totally acceptable, especially if it makes you draw attention, even if is negative of sorts. Didn't P. T. Barnum say that "all publicity is good publicity". We took it to heart, from dressing and acting silly to be "Price is Right", to being humiliated on Springer, from being asked most personal questions on quiz shows to people releasing sex tapes to become millionaires the culture as well as society has descended in a bottomless cesspool with no end in sight. And as the "waste" floats to the top, some of worst characters have become our political leaders at all levels. Every four years we get to choose between the two worst humans that a nation of 330 million can produce. That is not even funny.
And the only reason the schrade continues is that we ourselves are totally dishonest, or maybe we are just misinformed or blindly partisan.
Anyhow

You know, I have often said that, "everything is an example, and everything is a test". Atleast this is true of what I post. You likes, dislikes and your comments say a lot. It is not just me, your likes and the rest also tell a lot about you to the platforms, the media companies and the intelligence agencies too.
When I post a quote from the #scriptures, your comments say a lot about you, your faith, your commitments and your apprehensions. How you phrase your comments, the choice of words, I pay attention. But, I am getting off topic here, we will get back to it.
I have also said that many (not all) of my posts and memes may be related, maybe on similar, if not the same, topic, sometimes they can trap/ confues, as to what you really feel, it may be a challenge or just make things interesting by keeping you focused.
We tell too much about ourselves to total strangers, whether it is seeking approval, camaraderie or just to impress total strangers, and our choices can have negative consequences also.
I will come back to this sometime.
I posted a meme, a verse from Judges 2:13, as usual I see that the purpose and the meaning of the message was lost.
I only have time to mention one thing, the verse here talks about idol worship, if anyone has studied history or the scriptures, we know that in ancient times people, warriors and kings were idealized, over time, these were given godly attributes and became "gods", with their temples and worship and were sacrificed to, God of the #scriptures forbade such idolatry, and commanded against such practices. Read the 1st and the 2d commandments, may be we should learn to think first. Anyways

Why not, let's talk about it.
Life today is not easy, it is not simple either. One of my favorite quotes is that, "all truths are but half trruths".
If you are familiar with my posts, you notice that I ramble quite a bit, my posts are like a salad, or a goulash even, but if you suffer through the whole thing, you will see that I try to make sense, putting different things together.
If all truths are but half truths, then it only makes sense that there are, in fact, other "truths" that are equally correct and should also be accepted as facts.
It doesn't work that way in reality though. There are facts without any plausible alternatives.
You can go all day, claiming that gravity is just a theory, but would you jump of a 40 story building? I thought so.
I don't like Biden, I believe he is not only corrupt, he is also almost senile, he is owned by the military industrial complex and that he has been a closet racist all his life. Maybe most of you forgot what Biden said about Obama in 2007, "Biden called Obama first "clean" African-American candidate". Yes!
So I don't like Biden, I don't like his policies (many, not all), I don't like the war in Ukraine, I didn't like the way the withdrawal from Afghanistan went, (not all his fault), I don't like what is going on in banking), but what does all of it mean?
I have often asked of those that complain about the corruption in DC as to what are they doing to stop the corruption at the local level, cricket! No doubt, most of us that complain about the corruption in DC are quite pleased with the corruption at their local level as it can be of benefit to them personally.

"Curb your enthusiasm"
I hope you'll stay.
I've been slow in writing lately, but, a few posts I did make, controversial that they maybe, it is a matter of opinions, if we both agreed all the time, this page wouldn't exist.
I hope you'll stay, and we will continue talking, politely, even when we disagree.
It would be my hubris to think that I am always right, I am not that delusional. None of us should be. Do I have solutions to all the problems of the world, no, but neither does anyone else. Rich or poor.
Yes we are a free country, that means "everyone" is free, and everyone has the same rights as another. Yet it seems that with money you can corrupt other people, and when you have a whole lot of money, you can certainly corrupt a whole lot more people.
I hope you will stay and talk, comment, read the previous post also, the link is in the comments.
Last time, I talked about certain problems that the humanity is facing, we are living in times where humanity is closer together than ever before, and the problems affect each and every one of us, it is hard to imagine a world with 10 or twenty billion people, it is even harder to imagine the world 20 years from now.
If we truly focus, it seems that we are not solving the problems we are just ignoring them.
Our leaders are bickering and fighting over things that will not matter when the storms get bigger, or when the humanity will run of food and water, and gas too.
The alternate energy is a pipe dream, but it is useful only in as much as it is useful distraction.
Billions around the world are already suffering adding a few billion more will not solve that problem.
We are already, always fighting over resources, the wars will just move to newer/different locations.
Let's talk about things that matter, that will matter another few short years down the road.

I have said this before also, much of what I post is interconnected in some ways, my posts on a given day may be related somehow, and I post different opinions on the same topic. There is always more than one fact, some facts may be totally opposite but still may be equally important.
We read the stories, watch the news, talk to people, but we seldom see that even as the news and events are different but if we look deeply they all point to something, and they all Ignore something that is basic but never discussed.
If climate change is a fact, then why are people still moving to the beaches, why are we not moving people, cities and factories inland, why are we not preparing for the next 20, 50, 100 years.
If we are going to colonize the moon, or Mars within decades, why is no one being trained, what equipment and material is ready? Or close to? If we are going there so that the humanity can survie, how many will be moved, and better yet, what are the threats that we know of, and what is being done to reduce that/those threats.
If global warming or a nuclear war are possible, who will survive and how?
The fact is that the humanity, as we know it, may not survive another 20 or 50 years, the population will be eliminated, reduced to a few million maybe, and the rest will continue with limited resources. Think about it, whenever you are not distracted distracted by the "major issue of the day" as told you by your favorite politician.

It is said of the people that have been in a relationship for very long time that can complete eachother's sentences. Apparently they think the same about many things, ofcourse for a relationship to last a long time they must agree on a lot of things, so it is not about reading eachother's mind, but thinking alike.
When we go to school, we learn many things (or so one hopes anyway), but after school we study some more and may or may not agree with what we were taught, at the college/ university level though, we can study a subject independently and can actually argue with the lecturer, (supposedly), it is called education, meaning that we know things.
I post stuff here, and I have said that sometimes I don't (totally) agree with the point being made.
If I agreed with everyone and everything, I wouldn't learn anything new. I am always learning. From physics to medical research to history, economics and even politics. I want to keep the interesting.
I don't automatically know things, I don't have a "certain" answer to anything. We live and we grow, even after 247 years, the US is still growing, our policies are evolving, we have gone through many many changes, the industry, the government, the number of states, the technology, the arms, what have you, nothing is like it was back in 1776, probably ( and hopefully) nothing will be. Just the medical advances, the advance in farming, travel, all have improved. Things could be different, things could be better, let's talk about it.
It is simple and easy to sit back, when you have full stomach and money for gas to say everyone could be like you, but look around, most of us, that like myself have "arrived" didn't do it all on our own. I was healthy enough to join the military, I joined the Army and got the old GI bill, and was smart enough to go to college, to get a good job, to save money to start a business, not everyone is. Many became alcoholics, others were not "smart enough" to go to college, os started families early, got sick, got divorced, some had accidents others had disabilities, I literally won the lottery, many of did, others were not so lucky. At night when I look at where I am, I am thankful for all the blessings, and totally understand that it was sheer chance, not all of it has been my "hard work", whatever I say. If I give myself all the credit, then I deny my blessings. I can't claim credit for any of it.

It is today, again, past few days slipped by, being busy, and being lazy, probably both, I haven't made a post since the 1st, I mean didn't write one, for retired old man my days are busy, schedule full, enough for the excuses.
When we go to school, or to a meeting, point a discussion is to share ideas, and to exchange opinions. It is not a gotcha, an interrogation and truly not a torture chamber where we torture someone into submission. It is not even a re-education camp. That is and has been the purpose of this page, to share ideas, we are not looking for converts. This is not a place akin to a church, even though and if I do share from the scriptures time to time.
Part of our discontent today, and it is a major part, that we assume that when we say something the others are automatically obliged to pay heed and follow. Nothing could be further than the facts and or reality. No wonder we are unhappy, our lives are miserable, everyone is unhappy and unhappy about being unhappy too.
Gone are the days when the kids listened to their parents, the people listened to their elders, wives obeyed their husbands and such. That all being gone by the wayside, we have issues, the world is full of "Karenses" and "Kens" , people have road rage, and we are oh so willing to kill anyone that doesn't see things our way. And some parts of the society that is happening everyday.
The doctor made a bad diagnosis, the teacher talked loud to your kid, your partner cheated, your business is failing, someone on the road cut you off, no matter the problem (as perceived by us), there is our standby solution to all the problems of the world, murder, or so it seems. That is why I insist that we stay polite and reasonable, if you want to force your opinions on others, or believe that the others must be convinced, there are other blogs, I like to listen to all sides, I hope most of us do. Don't say why someone else is wrong, just say what you believe to be right, and let's talk, share views.
A couple of people tonight seem to have taken it personal that I did not automatically follow their chain of thought, if I had there would be no discussion, I have stated before that I sometimes play the devils advocate, I may even say things that I don't agree with, no disrespect, just say (nicely) what you think and more importantly WHY?

Couple of reminders here, anything said here is not about or pertaining to any religion or faith or belief system. There are plenty other venues and opportunities for that, my comments here purposefully in general, I am non partisan, don't take these comments personally or politically. These are my personal observations of life in general.
I had mentioned previously, that all facts, and all proposition can and do have an opposite that may be equally valid, you are free to choose and to disregard, in that vein, please keep your comments "general" , your personal thoughts and insights are welcome, keep them apolitical.
All politicians, and parties are equally corrupt and clueless, but yet they do play a role in deciding our future, they are paid to create divisions and to generate controversy. If you seem to like one, you have been hooked, (my opinion totally, see above).
My personal posts and memes I share are usually related to what I said previously or will probably talk about, soon. I am old, and I also work, bear with me.
I call myself a "liberal" but that is only because I don't follow a particular dogma, I do my study, and I do my own thinking, my TV is off, my wife watches whatever she likes, I seldom watch TV and I probably catch a show or a movie over a week's time, not news or commentary. I have enough stuff in my brain to keep me busy.
So I come across a snipet on YouTube where a assemblyman in Alaska is talking about cost savings to the state if an abused child ends up dead, o how horrible . But it is not really, this is exactly how we think, while we are not thinking (maybe you don't, but this type of thinking is actually a fact of life).
Will you be surprised if I told you that I have suggested that we stop paying people subsidies ( #foodstamps #WIC #section8 rental assistance) to people, just for making babies.
I have also discussed how crime (murder, rape, drug abuse) as we have today , actually helps the economy and keeps the politicians in power, they blackmail us into supporting our own abuse.
Maybe this is wild, you think, maybe I have lost my marbles, but it is the facts.
Crime is a job creator. We will talk about this further. For tonight I will leave you with this, remember the train wreck in East Palestine, basically, the corporation decided it was cheaper to pay the cost of an occasional train wreck and cleanup, than to fix the problem with brakes, even the loss of a few lives wasn't worth the trouble. You don't believe me? I'll give you examples, but for right now, remember the movie "Fight Club", what was the job of Ed Norten? Did he say how the company decided if it was worth the recall of the product if only few lives were lost and the company just paid the relatives.
In the real world, we are all just numbers.

Like it ot not, we must admit that all that we know, everything that we know, we learned from someone else. If you are a writer, you went to school, if an engineer the math and sciences have been around for thousands of years, yes there are innovators, designers, developers, all working of the base that someone else established.
"All truths are but half truths", whatever you believe to be true (like I said before, I am not talking about any faith or religion, I am talking about life in general), there is an opposite view that is just as true and valid, you can no more have a one sided coin, or a magnet.
Most of us get our information from someone else, school, TV, internet, whatever it is, it is secondhand information, ironically, even if you are present at an event you may not see the something that others see, and sometimes we get caught up in a crowd and we start to react same as others, nothing is real.
It is difficult to be "yourself", atleast most of the time, we all play a role that we assume, to fit in, to be accepted, you come home tired but a friend shows up and wants to visit, few will tell that person to leave, fifty years ago, tattoos were rare, now everybody wants a bunch, we used to dress up to get on a plane, now an airplane looks like a proverbial "Walmart". It is difficult to tell who is original and who is freak, and calling someone a freak is frowned upon.
How do you figure out where we will be in rwenty years? Not technology wise, but as people, as humans? The family is going aways, marriage is disappearing. There is no job security, no retirement, healthcare, but only if you can afford it, housing, too expensive, and the list goes on.
And these are not the only poems we face, or our grandchildren will for sure, that is if humanity is still around in the next 20-50 years. But we worry about people that don't know what gender they are, or what books someone reads, while we poison the earth and the oceans, and deny people their basic rights, and others don't care if we live like the livestock.

I had a good intention to write tonight, but some matters needed to be dealt with first, I actually may be slow in posting this week, but one must start somewhere, so I will start and hope to keep you interested. If you don't know, or you are new here, I almost 71, nit yet fully retired. I am interested in knowing, whatever I can, doesn’t matter. I make posts about religion sometimes, I keep these positive, I won't discuss religion.
I will also not discuss the occult, tarot, I ching, the Kabbalah, the Book of Enoch, the Nephlim, the Watchers or the Lizard people, UFOs or the Aliens, just saying, and a few other things if they come up.
I like to study, I like to read, and I like to comment when I can, not interested in starting a religion, a cult or a convent, you are on your own.
Before Facebook, I had a life, I actually still do, I used to comment on various websites, then I started my own blog at blogpost.com in 2006, one of my earliest posts was "New World Order, 2003, it was actually a collection of different comments I had made earlier at different sites, it is still up
We should talk about the future also. Not just what is happening in the world today, but how will affect the future generations, the humanity, our kids and grand kids.
We are easily manipulated, like it or not, I wonder if there are many that think about life 20 years from now, let alone 200 years from now, we shall talk about that, in this series of posts.
Earlier someone commented on a post about the electrical vehicles, much as I like the new technology, I also know it is a waste, and it is worse than using fossil fuels, but we will talk about that also.
Once again, if you are new here, or have been around here a while, please like the page, leave a comment, we will talk.

Let's consider.
I was talking about us *US) planning to colonize Mars, great idea, as long as there are 50 people willing to die for the cause.
I also talked about the Ohio train derailment.
Consider this, we have the technology, we refuel planes all day, every single day, the robotic hose extends from one plane to the other and the fuel is delivered, hundreds of gallons a minute, we have drines that fly all day and fire missiles, we have robots ( that have been used already) that walk up and kill, fire weapons at individuals.
Why do we not have robots. Equipped with hoses and pumps that can go upto a derailed train car and pump out the hazardous chemicals safely? Why?
The railroad companies are making billions in profits, is this technology will cost even a couple of billions it is worth investing in. It will save lives and it will save the environment. Right now, by all means, the government, the tax payers, that is us that will be stuck with the majority of the cost of clean up, the recovery, and the Healthcare of those suffering and the town itself.
We have the technology that can be easily adapted for this, letting the chemicals spill in to the ground, to contaminate the water and kill fish and animals is unacceptable, and worse to burn tem in place, in open air is murder by design and a slow death sentence imposed on the general population, it is unacceptable, the suffering can not be considered a cost of doing business.
Write your representatives, your local paper, write in comments of the blogs. Let's do this. The lives we save may be those of our own children.

IN OTHER WORLDS 4a
LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE
IN OTHER WORLDS 4a
I haven't been writing as usual, some health issues, some work issues, and also some world issues.
I love the questions too, even if don't always get to answer quickly, I do read all the comments, sometimes I don't like to hit like or comment if the comment is clearly partisan and not directly related to the issue or the news item, this not the purpose of this page to cheap shots, if you have a clear answer to a problem, please share, we all know what the left and the right do, what I, and an I am sure others, would like know how a problem can be handled.
Some on my personal page made a post about Rand Paul questioning a 3 million dollar budget item, so I mentioned that 3 million dollars in a 6 trillion dollar budget is nothing, why not take on the cost of drugs, the defense spending or even corporate subsidies, where even a 1% change could save 10s of millions.
Politicians do a lot of grandstanding, don't be easily taken, just because it sounds good to you, always evaluate how it helps or hurts those "others" whoever those "others" may be, always remember "one nation", emphasis on one.
We are distracted by the balloons? Oh, we already forgot about the balloons, even though it hasn't even been a month that our whole lives and the future depended upon those. No nukes, no gay genes, no biochemical weapons, not that we know anymore than we did last month.
The train derailed in Ohio, and we all worried about the train and blamed everybody we could think of, no one was more vocal than the ones that are most vehemently against any regulation of the business, well? "Them apples"!
Happy Anniversary of the war in Ukraine, and looks like there will be more happy returns, if we keep going down the same road, we could, accidentally, have a nuclear war, but don't blame US, we just like wars, there are no plans for peace, not that we are in a rush, we want to show the world we are the only super power, even if we destroy the humanity in the process, and no Putin didn't start the war, we started the war ten years ago, when we started arming the neo Nazis and the white nationalists in Ukraine, yes back when Biden was the vice president.
And we want to move to Mars too, in case we blow up the earth, we will have 50 to 100 people to come back and start over,
LETS TALK

HISTORY IN CONTEXT M6d
It is not to go around in circles, and it is tome for us to think outside the box.
Both the left and the right are stuck in mud, neither wants to face the reality. Yes, people can differ, can have different ideologies but to make progress we need to face the basic facts.
We are not all experts on everything, most of the time when I notice the same answer to all the news, to all the problems I am sure the person is actually not paying attention to the content, but only spreading whatever they consider to be their faith. There is and should always be some space between the "faith" and the problem at hand, I am not talking here about "religion" per se, one's religion is between them and their deity, but social institutions/ governments are neither grounded in religion nor they follow it in particular, even our religious leaders don't always follow the scriptures.
A blind trust in a party, its agenda or its policies is the quickest way to misdirected away from religious dogma. As corrupt as our institutions are they wouldn't accept a religion based rule.
We hate the government, we don't want to pay for the government, yet we also blame the government for not doing enough ( of everything). We want the crime reduced without paying for better education and better job opportunities. We want the veterans taken care of but we don't demand a cut in "profits" for the defense contractors that are looting the government. We are also for cutting the regulation to increase corporate profits but we also blame the government for not increasing safety. We forget that there were regulations in place to increase the railroad safety that we dropped by our corrupt congress and President.
We also consider our rich and corporations to be job creators, it couldn't be further than the truth, the job creators would mean that when the economy is in a slump the "job creators" will create new jobs, or will keep people working so thay can support their families, (the paychecks would be spent to get the economy moving along), but the rich actually cut jobs and force the government to spend more, to help the unemployed so the corporations can keep making money regardless, while the government takes on more debt.
It is time for us to update our thinking, what worked 50, a 100 or two hundred years ago doesn't work today.

HISTORY IN CONTEXT M6c
I didn't write last night, usually I don't the Friday nights, and if you haven't read the M6b yet, please do also, the link is in the first comment, as is the link to part M6a is in the 1st Comment of M6b.
There were a lot of questions, thank you, and I will try to answer as many as I can get to, most of the time I do reply to comments as soon as I see them, some I address later.
This is my "one man show", I am a 70 year old retired/semi retied, I don't do this to make money, I have no help, I do my own writing and share the items that interest me. There is always an angle to things we do, I sure I have an angle too, if you figure it out let me know.
Last week, when the balloon saga started, I told you it was nothing, and not to worry about it, some talked about it carrying nukes, others said biochemical weapons, or some exotic intelligence gathering equipment, I said. No, none of it. We did shoot it down, and we will forget about it. Stop wasting time and energy, and more specifically 400k missiles shot from a stealth fighter, who are we trying to impress.
It wasn't long after the balloon debacle that we had the "real" train disaster in Ohio, I wrote about it and many did comment, I appreciate everyone that took the time to read it.
Yes there are questions and there will be many excuses, in comment chided me for "blaming the ordinary citizens of the US". Yes we all bear some (and certain" responsibility. It is said that the ignorance of law is no excuse. When we claim to be "knowledgeable" and take action accordingly, then we also share responsibility for the consequences.
We forget that each and every person on the face of the earth has some hand in where we end up at. Yes even the poorest. One problem most of us have is that we in America believe that we are the only people in the world. Even though as Herschel Walker said that the Chinese take our good air and send us their bad air (it is not just the balloons I guess). But I am getting off the subject.
If we want the corporations to be responsible then we cannot allow them to buy our representatives, buy our Supreme Court or buy our ministers. But we support the representatives that have already been bought and paid for, heck they are literally on the payroll of corporations, the corporations are allowed to write off lobbying expenses and campaign contributions, and we elect the Congress, we are responsible, are we not, when we support and elect the corrupt representatives. The cycle of corruption has somehow evolved into its own "circle of life". Don't say we are not responsible. And if the corporation can make 20 billion but refuse to pay for the upgrade of equipment while we sit on the sidelines, we deserve this.
Will FEMA pay for the clean up? What do you think? In a month Americans would have forgotten all about this, except for those that will be getting sick and those that will do the dying.
It is not just Biden, or Pete, this accident is not an accident, this is a result of decades of neglect and profiteering, but we the people have sat on our buttons, while shaking our collective fists that we are or need to do something.
How do you fix something you have never shown any interest in learning about.
But life is short, tomorrow it will be something else, or something new and we will move on.
We support the corruption of our leaders, at all levels, and qclaim that we want to "change". Sit down.
I have told you before, many of my unrelated posts are actually related, but you have to be informed enough to see the relationship.
Thus my post about "No man is ever wise by chance", or how about "the price good men pay for indifference.......", yes both of them relate to what I am saying here. We can not afford to be indifferent, what happened in Ohio can happen in Texas ( it almost did), also read this

HISTORY IN CONTEXT M6b
Last night I talked about us, it is all about us, what we are and who we are, we live in an interconnected world, if it were not for the internet l wouldn't be writing this here, you wouldn't be reading it, we would both be happier.
The internet has not made us happier people, we are actually more miserable than before because of it. No, we don't feel eachother's pain more, we are just more miserable because ..., the life's shortcomings have become more obvious. I was talking about "thinking".
We are certain that we think, we just don't know why we think the way that we do, we don't ever think about that.
Earlier I posted a quote from the #scriptures,
Proverb 17: 15
15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
But why?
Most nights, I write something about current events, this evening I said I will discuss the Ohio train disaster, and asked you for your thoughts. We don't live in a vacuum, and things are related, the same is true for this mishap. It is not an accident, it was not unavoidable, and as I also said, we all had a hand in it, yes we did, let's talk.
There are so many things that came to together that "directly" caused the disaster. From tax cuts, to lobbying, to congressional misconduct, to Biden's capitulation, to lack regulation, the profit motive, lack of support for workers, (union or not), corporations are people of the SCOTUS, and more. All had a role to play. And depending upon what legislation we support, what we think of worker's rights, all played a part.
Here for us in the USA, things always happen in a vacuum, no one is ever responsible, no one resigns, no one goes to jail. After 9/11 we were told to go shopping. Rumsfled stayed in place, George Tenet also kept his job, no one got fired for the fake WMDs report.
Recently, Turkey has arrested the contractor that built the high rises that collapsed in the earthquake area, no one has been held to account for the train a wreck, yet.
It is said that the brake system was antiquated, but the railroad made billions in profits and gave out bonuses (not pay raises to workers). Where do you stand on this, do you feel guilty, should we have paid more attention? Are we not responsible also?
I also posted an article from back on 1 December when Biden and the Republicans cut a deal to force the railroad worker back on the job, ignoring all their complaints about the safety and the working conditions. Way too many of us have a knee jerk reaction whenever their is a labor dispute. Even in cases where the workers are being hurt and worse, do we have role?
Our hands are not clean, not by a longshot, we say that we think, but we don't, we say that we care, but we do not. We say that we know, when we do not.
If we start arresting some of the board members, if we start making the company pay for clean up and to relocate and compensate the residents it will be a start.
I WILL WRITE MORE SOON (a lot)

Last time, I had asked a few questions of you, No one commented. What do you think are the most urgent problems, what do you see as the solutions?
For many, if not most, and doesn't matter what side of the bed one gets up on, the solutions are simple, actually there is one and the same solution to each and every problem.
Mankind has tried that approach for millenia, it hasn't worked, it won't work, it doesn't work today, look around the world, there are wars, civil wars, revolutions and counter revolutions, none work. They won't.
If (a+b)=4, (a) and (b) can have any number of values, the right value for either is still undetermined until one or the other is defined. We can't always know for certain.
Have you ever thought how the other party gets to one solution that is always the opposite of what you believe. Have you ever really considered how?
Our leaders don't seem to have ever given it a thought, they are not paid to, they are only allowed to say what they are paid to say, and it is by design, they are told to say what you have been conditioned to believe.
It is hard for us to believe that there is an underlying problem that we miss. No matter whom we elect, no matter the party, the district, the state, all politicians end up being the same. There are endless discussions, but the results are always predictable, actually media will always tell you which side of the argument will win out, follow the money.
We fail to understand the basic concept which I stated many years ago, "we are limited in our knowledge by what we know" M. N. R.
If I were to ask you to picture a truck, you will think of the truck that you own, if you do not, however, own a truck, it is more than likely that you will visualize a freight truck. ( a semi), but if I were to ask you to picture a "red truck" more than likely you will see a fire truck unless you own a red truck or someone you know does. It is that easy.
We can only think of things that we know. A picture of a drill is different in the mind of a dentist as opposed to the picture of a drill in the mind of a carpenter or a mechanic.
We look at things differently, even a same word means different to different people, so how do we learn to think?
Simply we must learn more, about more things, just because you can build a house doesn't mean can fix a washing machine. We have to learn something more. Besides.
But today, we all have opinions, people always did, for some people, all they have is opinions, honestly.
So what do YOU think, this page is here to discuss ideas, to share thoughts, please comment, please also be respectful, make a counterpoint, respectfully, maybe even provide a reference, it is more convincing than a snarky comment.
Let's talk.
I WILL WRITE MORE SOON
