The SUPER SMART can see what could be. The rest of us think we are already the best there is. See the problem? We are operating in different universes, different levels, different understandings. Now who wants to go through life knowing how things should be and could be better and being shoved aside by those who have no interest in something so silly as that? I have read that the suicide rate of exceedingly smart people is rather high. Why? I think they are just tired of trying to make us see how things could be better and getting hammered for it or ignored. I think they just want out. How do I know? I don't. But I have a good imagination. I also know how I feel when folks either pay no attention to me or smack me. Not very good. And the beat goes on! :( less

Wht does that say about a society that would revere the ungood and attack the good? Everything is upended. Maybe that is what progress is. Upending everything and churning it around and around to see what survives? Do you teach you kids to be honest honorable humble? If not what do you teach them? What kind of adult do you want YOUR child to be? Why?

I'm going to put the end of the article FIRST:
But fewer people know how Trump celebrated the first anniversary of the attacks, which he spent joking with Howard Stern about how a statue of then-girlfriend Melania might make a fitting memorial at the site of the tragedy.
At the beginning of the interview, Stern and Trump bantered about where Melania was (in bed, Trump said) and whether she was naked (Trump thought so, but he wasn’t sure).
Later, they discussed what should replace the stricken Twin Towers at the World Trade Center site.
“Maybe we should build a television tower there,” Trump suggested.
“Believe me, a statue of your girlfriend would be perfect right there,” Stern quipped.
“Well, that would be an idea,” an amused Trump replied.
Stern and co-host Robin Quivers joked that no one would fly into a statue of Melania.

Remember that Barr already substituted his own “exoneration” of Trump on obstruction of justice (something the Justice Department’s guidelines specify should be a matter for Congress and not for the department), refused to use summaries that Robert S. Mueller III’s team prepared in favor of his misleading summary (which he later claimed was not a summary), has failed to turn over the report or Mueller summaries to Congress in a timely manner and has refused to make an unredacted version of the report available to Congress. All in all, it’s a shabby record of politicizing the Justice Department in a way that his predecessors avoided.

Contributing nothing of their own because they spend all their waking hours reading/listening to the contributions of others to find fault with it so they can correct it. It is what it is. They are whom they are. I guess it keeps them off the streets and out of bars. Mebbe not.With regard to paid critics who earn a living criticizing do you pay any attention them? If they thumbs down a movie do you not see it? If they thumbs down a restaurant do you not check it out for yourself? Do you live your life following the opinions of critics because you think it will save you from wasting your time and money? Why?Ever see a movie the critics panned that you loved? How about a movie the critics loved and waxed poetic about that you thought was stupid mundane sophomoric and a waste of time? Why would anyone substitute a stranger's opinion for his/her own?

But there are some who have no guards up at all and can be hypnotized very easily. Once "under" the hypnotist puts a suggestion in their minds and then a "magic" key which is usually a specific word that will unlock that door. You've seen the theatrical demonstrations of that on TV right? Some gal named Pat used to do a club act. She'd have folks get up on stage, put them under, plant a suggestion in their minds and then a trigger. She brought them out of it and then deftly employing the trigger word what were typical humans beings became chickens that were clucking or ducks squawking including arms and legs that cooperated. It was always hilarious apparently because the audience would laugh at the spectacle and the hapless folks had no clue what was happening.

It cuts the dogs and the ponies down to size and we realize they are just ordinary animals doing ordinary things of dysfunctional typical devious self-serving nature. They never change. It is always the same. The same tricks done the same ways over and over and over and over and over and over etcetera and so forth. They are limited in all ways and yet some dog and pony watchers get caught up in the spectacle and elevate the dogs and ponies to heights that are dizzying. Dogs and ponies. Ponies and dogs. Joined together in union forever with fans cheering them on thinking that it all matters greatly. Pathetic isn't it? less
