    This made me think of a guy I worked with many years ago.  He was retired military and thought society would greatly benefit from every adult having the right to kill two people during his adult  years up to his own death.  He was certain we would have a society who treated each other wonderfully as we would never know who had and had not used his two free kills.  Crazy?  Of course.

    That is a new one. 
    I have heard many people say "An armed society is a polite society."

    GAA


    Giant Anteater Appreciation  


    (That GAA is better than being GAY myself. I take no pride in being gay; I had no choice in being gay. I try to take pride in my choice of trying to be kind to others.)



    On GAA day, I'd encourage people to look up giant anteaters - - since first seeing one when I was about ten years old, no other living creature looks so cool, unique and beautiful to me. My favorite animal always.

    Personally I prefer the echidna, or "spiny anteater". I'm parochial. Interestingly it's one of only two species of mammal that lays eggs.



    Also being gay is nothing to be ashamed nor proud of. You're wired that way and most people are at least SLIGHTLY bi, although in most straight people its so slight as to be unnoticeable even by the person him or herself. I'm not, but being Demi I'm in a sexual minority myself. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at April 27, 2024 5:55 PM MDT

    I really like the echidna, too. Thanks for sharing the photo and info.

    And, yes, I'm neither ashamed nor proud. And I appreciate your other sharings here.

    And I appreciate all your sharings on the site. Always good to see you.

     Whew! I for one am glad that this is just a pipe dream with absolutely no probability of ever being realized!

    International Stop-Making-Every-Day-the-International-Day-of-Something Day. 

    The lack of celebration is the celebration.
