Human Race - Coronavirus = Increased Awareness

Bill Gates has been warning of disease potential for what seems like forever. Now that it is a reality and over two thousand people have lost their life to this organism, perhaps we are at a moment of discovery. The Coronavirus has a mortality factor of 2% vs 10 to 20% for the Spanish Flu. 

The Last Gargoyle - Installment #2

     I didn’t see it coming ‘til it was too late. He wiped his nose on my sleeve. Not acceptable in my world. Oh nobody seen him do it but they sure heard me do it. I called him a thing or two. I just so happen to pack a thing called a temper, not that that is an excuse or anything. Boy, let me tell you I felt like I got it all wrong in no time flat. It was like everyone thought I should be kind and understanding and not defend myself at all. Well, I stared down the simpleton, realizing I couldn’t hate him anymore even if I tried really hard. He was grinning but not over anything he’d just did. Grinning seemed to be his preferred manner. The whole thing just bugged me enough to not go to class. I mean I’m not going to sit in class watching snot dry on my sleeve. I got pointed in the direction of my van but flopped down on the first bench I passed. I sat tight, visualizing the act of vengeance that went from a slap to mowing down nitwits with my van. The pint of vodka came in handy. It helped fuel thoughts of vengeance which lifted my spirits. Before I got going again I had decided I would avenge this great wrong. How this was to be done I did not know.

One Republican Once said . . . A House Divided Can't Stand

Sure looks like the Democratic House is divided.

Coronavirus - Wild Animal Food Source = A Chance for Endangered Animals

Wow, a virus that could save the Pangolin. This is an animal that is considered a delicacy in China. It is on its way to extinction. Well I guess the Chinese have instituted a ban on eating wild animals because of disease potential.

Coronavirus - Military Buildup = Cooperation

Wow, a virus that could end Wars! We'll have to quit with the military posturing long enough to find a cure.

Harvey Weinstein

One wonders what happens to those 'Less Wealthy' who are headed to Rikers Island and have a Panic Attack. Are the Taxpayers on the hook for Harvey's hospital stay? Common Sense is all gone bye-bye.

A Blonde in Rome

A law in ancient Rome required prostitutes to wear yellow wigs so they were easier to spot. This way women wouldn't be wrongfully propositioned. One has to wonder what happened to the peace of mind of naturally occurring blondes running around Rome.

                                                 —Friedrich Nietzsche, Art is the proper task of life.
     Happiest larks in the meadow are the idiots. Look at one of ‘em sometime and tell me I ain’t spot on. I know … I know, I’m not supposed to think it but that don’t make it any less truthful. If somebody go and call you a moron how that make you feel? The whole created equal deal didn’t take into account the fact some got blessed with big brains and some hardly have the sense God gave a goose. I’m not all bad. I usually don’t pick on the less fortunate just because I can. No. I’m all about challenges is all there is to it. I live in a free country and chose to befriend fellas who can maintain their end of a conversation. So I’m the first one to admit I got ugly when a nitwit somehow figured he good enough to befriend me.

Support for Caroline Flack - Not

So lets see here. Caroline Flack hangs herself after she was fired from a show (Love Island) she hosted. Apparently the prosecutor was going after her for assaulting her boyfriend who had stated he wouldn't cooperate with investigation. ITV which produces the show, fired Caroline, from her life's work. What gets me is when ITV straight-up and lies about how much they supported her. Really? By firing her. Here's to hoping there is a special Wing in Hell for liars.

Sahara

Sahara means desert in Arabic. Guess Gobi means desert. Redundancy run amok I guess.

Ever Notice

when a particularly disturbing news story is aired . . . The reporter says we are going to follow this story: Then Nothing! Say What? 

Oh C'mon Man

There are Butterflies in Borneo larger than Owls. Not big Owls, but still larger. Think 'bout that for a minute. You ever around a person who talks a lot but doesn't say anything? What's rounder? an orange?

I love it when People are Passionate and Fearless. Timing is everything however. Wouldn't it be ideal if folks would become Agents of Change before Life-changing events?

It is well that war is so terrible – otherwise we would grow too fond of it.

It is imperative that realistic depictions of war are shared - least we dwell in the danger-zone of ignorance.

Kobe was Not a Rapist

Innocent until proven guilty in a Court of Law.

The 60-year-old, who is the granddaughter of Roy O. Disney — a cofounder of the Walt Disney Company — had in a tweet January 29 shared an op-ed from the Washington Post about allegations Bryant faced some 17 years ago, writing "The man was a rapist. Deal with it."

Hatred Continues . . .

Death & Hatred And-And-And . . .

Response

This response was left the other day. First of all thanks go out to you for sharing. The point here, is that you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. All this acting and condemning is not fair in any sense to Kobe or anyone ever been bullied like this. The second paragraph are the concerns expressed by a family who lost one of its own.

people have to put the foot down for bad behavior

"As to those who contend that Mr. Dulos' death reflects a consciousness of guilt, we say 'no,' we say it was more a conscience overworn with the weight of a world that was too busy to listen and that wanted a story more than it wanted the truth. We're not bitter and we're not accusing anyone of having driven him to his death, we wonder why -- in the court of public opinion -- the presumption of innocence was so quickly satisfied."

How do the 'Animation Is Film Festival' Organizers feel Now?

Innocent until Proven Guilty in a Court of Law. I mean all charges were dropped against Kobe. We know he did some amazing things in his life. This included being a 'Girl Dad' and Inspiration to women around the world. Being found guilty in the Court of Public Opinion was certainly not one of them. How can people turn on the Faucet of Hate and cling to that Glass of Vile Intentions?

Yet in 2018, just seven months after he won an Academy Award for best animated short film, Bryant was dropped from the jury of a film festival.

“This is an urgent time to say NO to toxic and violent behavior against women,” read a petition urging organizers of the Animation Is Film Festival to dissociate themselves from Bryant.
