Is Hell endothermic or exothermic?

People (Trumpers for the most part), even those who should know better, are screaming bloody murder, first over the shutdown, then over masks.  They believe it is all overblown, a hoax, or a plan to shut them out somehow.

On the other hand, their are those who were Trump supporters who have changed their minds on this issue alone.  A neighbor, w…[Read more]

‘Cause that sure looks like a reenactment of a photo of the couple (either in real life or from the movie).

almost never get out the old turn table any more.

Guys, ABBA was just what we needed in the ’70s.  It was joyful, nice melodies and hamonies.  The orchestration was superb, and it was eminently dance-able.

Remember the seventies:  The Beatles broke up, Vietnam War, the  invasion of Cambodia, Kent State and Jackson State shootings,  Jimi Hend…[Read more]

China’s Edward Snowden.

Apologize and Elvira on it?  I bought that album at a yard sale with no cover and only a dust jacket on it when I was sixteen or seventeen.  I stillh have it, although I rarely play LPs anymore.

Love Ed Ames.  What a voice!  Even into his 90s.

Video of the event that gets posted and passed to a point that it becomes viral.

The video of Amaud Arbery was so horrifying that people were compelled to demand justice.

The video of George Floyd being suffocated by a law enforcement officer while he begged to be allowed to breathe was even more horrific because of the absolute casual…[Read more]

You certainly talk big on this forum, but what have you done in the real world to bring about change?  I’m not asking as a put down.  I know that you have big load to carry just in your own life.

But I have a problem with people who denigrate those who are doing the hard work to make change happen.  When your efforts match his, then you can be…[Read more]

those who would hold power by whatever needs necessary.

on this forum blaming Bernie for not being able to get it done.  He NEVER said that HE could.  He said WE could.  Unfortunately, the WE in this case have failed.  He is using his position as a bully pulpit to urge us onward.

If “his urgings seem rather hollow at this point” it is not because he has not/is not doing his part.  It is because the…[Read more]

My B-I-L was slated to have some procedure or another done and had to have a Covid 19 test.  He wasn’t worried because he had been careful and had no symptoms.  He tested positive.  He ened his quarantine a couple of days ago completely without ever having had one symptom.  His wife and father, who haven’t been tested, come out of quarantine in…[Read more]

someone posted that s/he had been talking with some young soldiers who said, that if ordered, they would fire into a crowd of unarmed civilian US citizens.

So, I was talking to some high school ROTC students one day and I put the question to them.  There were two boys and one girl.  “If ordered, even though it is illegal, would you fire into an u…[Read more]

A massive PR campaign.  If you are a Boomer, you will remember Officer Friendly.  He used to come around to our schools  exuding bonhomie, friendliness, and trustworthiness.  We were told to ask a policeman for help.

And the campaign very quickly understood, and utilized to the maximum, the potential of television.  Remember?  Adam Twelve, Car 5…[Read more]

Was breaking store windows to incite looting and violence while a person of color tried to stop him.
Isolated incidents?  I doubt it highly.
