It also didn't last as long.But rest assured in every future "skirmish" Israelis will always die less and get injured less. Sigh.

How would you describe what we saw and heard on January 6?As I said we all observe perceive comprehend differently. We cannot not.
Would you be sympathetic and try to comfort such an individual?Or are you like me and think he is a whinya** weakling?Written in one sitting on October 25, 1819 by Percy Bysshe Shelley

Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and EpsilonVaccinations into the embryos determine what type of embryo it will become. Of course the ALPHAS are the leaders and the EPSILONS are those who do menial labor. The others are injected too and form the basic bones of the society. There is no war. Everyone lives happily.So which world of fiction might you have found more to your liking? 1984 or Brave New World.Some things written many decades ago hit close home here. Very uncomfy to find that the creative minds of those of the long ago could foresee such a future. Isn't it? less

Being true to whom they are. How and why hundreds of thousands or millions died?Some who are black have passed as white.They generally have a WHITE parent. Saved their lives undoubtedly.So what is a life worth? A life of lying pretending avoiding?Is there anything more important than STAYING ALIVE? less

The partyline is what is distributed and nothing else.Now of course there is always the underground that fights against oppression. The government has a plan for that. Spies that will infiltrate to annihilate.Imagine a country aligned from top to bottom with no pointy edges or inclines or rises? A flatland of intellectuality spirituality emotionality psychologically morally physically and internally. All calm.Something you've hoped for and wished for and dreamed of is yours. Aren't you lucky? less

Ignorance is a basic foundation for the new nation.A dumb electorate who doesn't know any better. See how ideal it is for pols who don't like to be thwarted or blocked or criticized or challenged?Now the very wealthy will have their private schools. All educators will be politically approved. The curriculum will be rigid wherever the "learning" occurs. No deviation means no arguing. No one gets any lip because questions are no longer allowed. Questioning implies only bad bad things. Acceptance without objection is the only thing that will be allowed. Otherwise? Use your imagination. Once you get to otherwise you will never been seen again.See how simply life is going to be for thee?. Bring it on. Simplify. Live the good life. SIGH. less

Is that not a twist of logic without fair anywhere there?I dunno.Ostensibly previously priorly we used to elect those whom we wanted to represent us in government. That was a given and no one ever questioned it. In fact we the people took GREAT PRIDE once upon a time.Then trump along and blew that all up. Now the republicans are seeing to it that elections that we used to rely on will be eliminated. NEW AND IMPROVED.All on our behalf and for our own good of course. No one ever does anything that isn't the behalf of whom they do it for. If it seems that in fact they don't do it for us they do to us that is an illusion and out delusion.All pols are sacrosanct and holy and as such are perfect and can do no wrong. Voting futurely will be by appointment only. The voting will already be done for you. All you have to do is just sign it. Isn't that awesome good? Even great? Progress. less

All the while they feel ever so superior and right as they carnage and murder and deprive and deny and restrict and take victory laps.What has homo sap become? The worst it ever has been.Where is the striving to be better?There is none. They already think they are the best thing since sliced bread and have no intention of changing a thing.Isn't that sweet?

That means all kinds of nasty things could stay with them for months or years or possibly forever.So what do we do in the meantime? Follow whatever guidelines they give and not get angry if those guidelines turn out to be worthless.We have been assured that there will be MORE PANDEMICS in our future. The nature of bacteria and viruses being what they are. Much more CLEVER than we are. So far they are outsmarting us. Will that always be? I don't know. That's above my pay class. less
