Maybe what we are living others lived before once upon a time.The circle of life. Same template. Same story. Same ending. Over and over and over and over? Could it be?

You cannot "drink" sand and expect your thirst to be sated. You cannot expect an IQ of 80 to produce at the same level as an IQ of 180.How do we learn to tamp down tone down our expectations of others? Perhaps people are already all that they can be just as they are and there is no way to improve upon that.If that is true and we accept that that is true will we be better off or worse? less

Accidents you see when driving. Slowing down and gawking for what reason? Hoping to see blood and gore and death?I'm sure everyone isn't similarly wired but enough are to puzzle me.BullfightsBoxingFight ClubsPitting animals together hoping the one you bet on wins (which means the others will die)Someone is going to get hurt and possibly very badly. What's the upside of being a spectator to a spectacle like that? Why do we enjoy watching people/animals get hurt or die?An ancient inborn evil? less

He changed radically (it seems very radically) and I just wonder why? When trump attacks Senator McCain now as harshly in death as he did when Senator McCain was alive Lindsay remains silent. Quiet. Still. What kind of friend does not defend a friend?Yesterday Lindsay accused 4 AMERICAN Congresswomen of being racists and haters of Jewish people and hate-filled justifying once again the rantings of a trump tweet vis a vis attacking the 4 women. I am not certain if all trump supporters like it when trump attacks Americans in that way. Do they cringe, shudder, wish he didn't or does he grow more wonderful to them by doubling down ten times bigger as has always promised to do and that promise he ALWAYS keeps?Having a combative hater as prez whose daily goal seems to be to rile up his troops and attack "the enemy" is hard to adjust to for me. I know his peeps support everything he does a... less

Cold indifference or even joyful exhilaration seems to be what they portray as they hack and slay. Is that REAL or are they just faking it?

Now for those who are not Bible believers or GOD believers it's logical to hate "the other" because you are terrified of him/her.But in your own family? I don't get it. Where and how did racism begin among Bible believers? It does NOT COMPUTE. Can anyone explain that to me please and thank you.

It is quite inefficient as an engine fuel compared to gasoline. It's carbon dioxide product is slightly less than gasoline, but more is needed to travel the same distance. IOW, using ethanol as a clean alternative fuel is a government scam, paid for by the corn industry lobby. I could go on, but I don't want to bore you.
