Thursday ONT: Cleaning Out The Meme Folder Edition
Can you imagine how today's snowflakes would react to Don Rickles?
Ok, for the uninitiated, here is Frank Sinatra explaining to Johnny Carson in 44 brilliant seconds exactly why Don Rickles is a fucking legend. The payoff is worth your time: pic.twitter.com/w8rsOIbprJ

I once walked past a Chinese restaurant that had a sign taped to the front door:

To this day I have no idea how one would park disrespectfully. Ramming right through the front of the restaurant? Parking with your thumbs in your ears while wiggling your fingers?

The cut with Carson/Sinatra/Rickles. That deserves to be it's on post on the Morning Art Thread.
'Cause what Rickles did to Sinatra was nothing less than art. FINE art. Kudos also to Sinatra for having the grace to tell the story, and the humility to embrace the humor of it.
Grace and humility like that nowdays, tends to be found mostly in the .mil, .. and here in the Horde.

Compare the entertainment factor of that one clip, of which there were thousands over the years, how hard everyone is laughing - and compare with the jackasses on the late night shows today. Colbert just lectures you about Democrats, and Jimmy is a dick.

Somehow they think they can do what they want without any proof of why it has to be that way.
Social Distancing HAS NOT proved to be effective. GLOVES have not been shown to improve chances of not getting virus.
And neither has MASKS.
Just like they keep complaining about Malaria drugs, there have been NO tests done to prove efficacy.
AND since the numbers are comparable to normal flu one wonders WHY this time was it so important to defend against it with such devastating consequences for peoples lives.
I'm over 70 and vulnerable and I would rather you all be back at work and I'll take my chances than to give these idiots more control over the economy and all for a few percents that they can't even be sure of yet.

One of my favorite Rickles routines was when he told a Sands audience how Sinatra saved his life. He mentioned that one night after a show, two big bruisers grabbed him and started kicking the shit out of him.
He pointed to the Chairman. "And this man saved my life! You know what he did? He ran right up and said, 'OK, fellows, he's had enough.'"

What Sinatra, and Rickles, and Carson were doing is telling "When-We" stories, and letting the audience in on them. It is a group of friends sitting around and saying "hey, do you remember when we". There is an actual connection between them as they are talking, and you, the TV audience, are invited to scoot up your chair closer and listen.

"If I was in charge of the dictionary I would have a right clear-out of words. Words like 'necrophilia' I'd get rid of. If someone has that (attraction to dead bodies) I'd make them say, "I fancy dead bodies." Then, at least when they tell people, they might realize how mental it sounds rather than it being hidden in a posh word. And then they'll stop having the problem. The fact that it has its own word makes it seem more acceptable."

That's OK. HS for me sucked beyond all comprehension, but in my senior year, a writing contest was put on by the PTA, and my senior English teacher decided to make that into an assignment...but if he deemed the essay worthy, he would have it entered into the contest. He decided mine was good enough, so it was entered.
To my surprise most of all, that essay won the contest.
I still have it. If I get past a paragraph of it now, I think to myself, "THIS won a freaking CONTEST???" (Yeah, perhaps I can chalk it up to maturity, getting older and wiser, and all that, but man, it is nothing I am proud of. Except for the first page. The essay contrasted my experiences of touring West and East Berlin as a nine year old with happenings in history and the eventual fall of the Wall, and more or less codified that visit. On the first page, I, as a seventeen year old, warned the danger facing the world in regards to communism was "FADING MEMORIES". It is eerily prophetic.)

I would get home from a bad day at work in my early 20's, and watch Johnny's monologue. And he would have a bad day, too. Not a single joke was working, and the band would start playing slow-shoe tap dance music, and the crowd would howl.
And I would feel better, knowing that even Johnny Carson can have a bad day, and turn lemons into lemonade. He was the brunt of the joke, and went along to the delight of the crowd.
I thought those "bad" monologues were the best entertainment of all, some guest interviews (like the Rickles-Sinatra one) excepted.

Meanwhile, ERs nurses at some hospitals are still dealing with 3-4 patients dying on them per shift, and a growing number of patients who die during the ambulance ride to the ER.
I, for one, have managed to overlook this particular part of the pain and suffering. I've mentioned before that I have a BFF that is a CRNA. In his long career, he has lost exactly ONE patient while under his purview. And it still bothers him, hugely, though almost entirely outside of his control.
People go into the medical field, at least in some small part, to make a difference. To help. To watch person after person die, in spite of your best efforts, has got to be heart wrenching. Plus a dose of worry about their own health, just to add to the stress pool.
So my thoughts go out to these folks, tonite, for what they too are enduring.

Went to town today...first time in a month. Took a mask but never had to put it on. Bank lobby closed but the drive-thru was running faster than the inside tellers do.
Though I'm not a big WalMart fan, I went there today and was impressed at how well they're coping. Greeters were washing carts and the stock was reasonable. Not much social distancing going on there, nor anywhere else except my accountant's office. It's locked. They brought my 1040 out to me. I'm not used to filing my taxes from a parking lot. At least the courthouse allowed me as far as the lobby to drop off second half taxes.
The dispensary wasn't allowing anyone past the lobby, either. But other retail establishments were going full bore, with maybe 30% of the customers masked. There was a particularly chipper pair of young ladies at Dollar Tree. What virus? they seemed to be saying, shepherding me all around the store to be sure I got everything.
I don't want to do this again, though. The world seems slightly off-kilter. Only my hill seems normal.

The girl counting heads at the entrance asked us to wait, and I was about to leave when she said we could go in.
Plenty of TP - choices of brands and bundles. Grabbed a 6-pack of our preferred brand and type, which we hadn't seen since the
A few creative and clever masks. Maybe not quite 1/3 of the customers had masks. Employees maybe 1/2.
They sure were busy stocking all those groaning shelves with the magnificent abundance of American cornucopia.
When we left, there was no line, so I stopped and talked to the gal minding the door (who had dropped her mask, I was amused to note). She'd just been yelled at by some old phart who she said had already been in three times today and disliked waiting a minute to go in again. Like it's her fault and she set the rules.
Fortunately, most folks seemed fine. I saw smiles, swapped jokes. Loaded carts. Last thing in the parking lot after putting the cart in the rack, I sang out loudly, "♪ Don't stand so close to me!" Saw some kids in a nearby car caught it.

For Context, the "Eine Billion" translates to 1 Trillion in English as the Germans have a slightly different way of counting high numbers.
The Weimar Republic actually went on to print a 100 trillion mark note.

The reset their entrances. They usually have one entrance/exit with a sort of half-assed door down at the end of the dining room. Now that half-assed door is the entrance, and the former entrance/exit is now the exit. This keeps people from bumping into each other when going in and out.
Along the now much longer path you have to follow to get to the register to pick up your order, they have erected tables with various goodies like cannoli and their house wine for $10 a bottle. That's not a bad price.
Highly effective. I am now about a third of my way through the wine they cleverly arrayed as an impulse buy.

I still like one of Churchill's comments while visiting the White House
during the war: "The problem in this country is the drinks are too hard
and the toilet paper's too soft." Poor guy didn't enjoy American
cocktails; preferred his whiskey sodas, champagne, and red wines. And
he's not wrong about toilet paper.

Difference between American and European -illions is the short scale vs. long scale. The former is based on powers of 1000, while the latter is powers of one million.
In the long scale, a billion is a million million, a trillion is a million billion, and so on.
Now, in the SI prefix hierachy the short scale is used.
Best practice is considered to just use scientific notation and avoid any confusion over long vs. short scale.

I used to do a lot of acting in downtown Seattle.
A theatre dressing room is absolutely leftist territory, so they all thought it was a total safe space to blabber at their worst.
When they think they are completely among their own, their chatter is crazier than you've ever heard.
I recall hearing that they wanted to "hate fuck Sarah Palin to death," and it was simply understood that that was a reasonable notion.
This is why they think all right-wingers are racist Nazis: Because the left is insane (MORE insane) when they're behind closed doors, they simply ASSUME that everyone is like that.

She persuaded me and the missus to take part in the 2009 and 2010 marches in DC against OCare and other abominations that infested that area at the time. I think she even got a picture of her husband with Andrew Breitbart out of it IIRC.

He told me that he had been cutting his lawn on his riding mower last weekend when a car drove down the street slowly and then stopped, opposite his dwelling. He thought, "Am I gonna get squealed on to the authorities by some rat?" (The car moved on.) Apparently lawn service companies have been grounded by the Wretched Gretchen's diktats.
I told him he needed to purchase a gaudily colored sateen jacket with the phrase in large letters, "I'm NOT a Mexican!" sewn on its back. We larfed.

So if you want a more virulent disease you don't make a new one in a lab (however you would do that), but you keep iterating on cycles of that virus in whatever medium you are breeding it in and at the end of this run it would not look "bio-engineered"

I had a Toyota Highlander while my car was in the shop. I was on the freeway and had my cruise control on, and apparently I got too close to the car in front of me (and I wasn't even all that close) and the damn thing SLAMMED on the brakes to slow me down. I couldn't wait to get rid of it.

Unless it's a test. Say of infection vectors.
Personally, I buy the accidental release for now. There are issues with the wet-market theory that make the Wuhan lab a more likely origin.
I just read people who have made up their mind that it "absolutely is" or "could not be and you people are too stupid for bringing it up".
I prefer to think of credible possibilities. No, this obviously not a functioning fully-developed bio-weapon. It doesn't mean it isn't bio-weapon research related.

bulls. They have a look at you when with a (temporary) mate that
enforces caution. Barbed wire fences would probably not stop them."
My old boss' ex husband realized his (Texas) dream of having a cattle ranch, on 60 acres in southern VA where he raised Beefmaster breedstock as a hobby.
He told a very funny story about one of his young bulls trying to get into a field with the brood cows, and finally trying to walk up one of the stream corridors.
All of those were blocked with strands of electric fence suspended over the gullies, that had trailing drops of chain dangling from them to discourage that kind of sneaking around.
He said he saw when the bull tried to cross it, and even with several pounds of chain sparking and dancing on its back, it kept right on marching through the water.
The charge wasn't high enough to do fatal damage, but it could give you a good zap--I remember when he had been late on some weedwhacking, and touched some grasses when opening a gate that had contact with the fence. Got my attention!

From what I've been reading about GOF research,which the NIH funds in its wisdom, there's not really much difference between that and actual bioweapon creation. The only difference is what it is ostensibly used for.
Here's what GOF is. They take a virus of interest and speed up the mutation process by sequential infection of lab animal hosts. They pick out promising mutations, and continue with those. It's not natural selection, but lab selection.
Then they'll run it through human cells (cultures of human tissue cells) to help select mutations that can infect humans.
And they'll also do some recombinant stuff, grafting on things to improve the viruses ability to infect.
Sounds just like bioweapon research, except the claimed purpose is to better understand how viruses mutate and become infectious to humans, as well as learning better how to treat and make vaccines.
They do this. I know it sounds crazy, why in the hell would you do this, but they do it, and the NIH funds it.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, spoke over phone on Thursday night, reaffirming mutual support in the fight against COVID-19 and rejecting politicization of the pandemic.
As the coronavirus disease is spreading around the globe, Xi said, all countries are faced with the arduous task of tackling the epidemic.
Recalling that he and Putin held two telephone conversations in a month to exchange views and coordinate positions on how to better cooperate in epidemic prevention and control, Xi said that has once again demonstrated the high level of China-Russia relations.
Xi noted that Putin has been personally planning and commanding Russia's battle against the contagious illness, and has introduced a series of effective prevention and control measures.

I remember listening to an interview with her, she said when they hired her she had no idea what they really wanted, so they had her listen to the instrumental tract they had laid down and said "just ad lib, put a lot into it" and so she decided to just let them see what it was like if she let it all hang out, and then they could all figure out what it should be. So that's what she did, and she said she wean way over the top and was thoroughly embarrassed when it was over, she thought it was Completely Awful.
And so she walked over to Gilmore and Waters, and asked "well I know that was terrible, what do you really want?" And they said "Oh no, that's better than we were hoping for, that's absolutely perfect! No need to do it again!" She said she couldn't believe it.

Tell that to 'Ette Gushka, who was very ill with the WuFlu. Her doctor gave her another quinine derivative, not HCQ, but in the same family, and within two hours, she said she began to feel better. And after a few more days, she tested negative for the virus, and was discharged from hospital.
And some of these people peddling the "HCQ doesn't work" canard are being disingenuous. It seems the best results are obtained by using HCQ+azithromycin+zinc, and not HCQ alone. And if HCQ alone is delayed until the patient is already on a vent, it's probably too late, so "it didn't work". Just like a defibrillator doesn't work, if you wait until the patient has assumed room temperature.

---
They will likely wear out their welcome to the American people.
OR, you then know at what point you are in of the atheist takeover. And whether or not this country stood a chance in the first place.
How did we get this country? Americans were willing to fight. That's how we can lose it as well. And if the cognitive dissonance of all this doesn't get to enough Americans, you just didn't know what country you were living in, is all.
Can we, as a group, be technologized outside of our autonomy and free-will into stomachs to weigh and feed? If we can, it was always in the cards. This is the Lord indicating the folly of man. We cannot maintain the fruits of "inalienable rights" if we stop believing that the husk I push off a cliff retains something such as "rights".
We can compare the promise of a God-creator and the product of man and perhaps solve the "Problem of Evil" for ourselves with new data. Does "a republic make man free?" Not, if Man cannot believe in innate rights which serve as it's vision, not if he can be cajoled by his managers who extracts counts from him, votes, bellies, carbon footprints.
Who would want to live in the same stark reality as "There are no rights" in the same way we theorize "There is no God"?
There is no God: Only *something* that wants to stay alive for the next iteration. There is a belly, with adaptation.
There are no rights: only something a collective of Man pledges to its members. But just like any other thing in the kingdom of nature, its instance makes it. We simply describe it. Whatever this new collective of America pledges to you, *those* are the rights you can say *you have*. If we agree that rights are agreements by a collective, than that is their substance. You *do* not have "rights" not granted to you.
There is no idea of "optimal" in instances. You measure instances in relation to what is supposed as optimal (but "optimal", the perceived delta, and all the other things are merely abstract theories around what actually manifests).
There are those who argue that the "rights you should have" are simply those rights it could be seen as "optimal" for you to have. And they site advanced republics like America as instances of approach to some concept of "optimal rights".
That it is a mere matter that the foot "could be designed better" does not deliver the better foot. No, in nature, if a large part of your population dies off from having inferior feet, it promotes the code of people who have the better feet. But those feet do not become the "optimal feet". Just the feet that are good enough to survive better than people with *inferior* feet. Nature tolerates a spectrum of feet structures that is not "selected" by survival--or even mate choice. Death--or even mate-starvation (i.e. being lonely or shunned)--has to come to the door.
So our *chosen* model of Nature says, "Death, please come to the door. Come take these inferior forms". Or it says "Hate, please come to the door and single out those who do not deserve to reproduce".
These are the basic mechanisms. None of these sound "optimal" in the social structures we theorize as "optimal". Because America wasn't created on Natural reductionism, it was created on *faith*.
And who has told us "Without faith, you can do nothing"?
The Governor of New York just told us that God "didn't get the numbers of hospitalizations down." It was "hard work".

Yes, but first, we must start making our own aspirin, ibuprofen, penicillin, vitamin C, and the hundreds of other drugs that Big Pharma has moved production of to China. And medical supplies, too. Masks and supplies were held back in China starting in 2019, before people knew what is going on.
It blows me away that the supposedly smart CEO's of Big Pharma have allowed this to happen. Sure, some production is fine. But 95% of it (for many common drugs) is past borderline criminal, it is traitorous.
I would guess that when Trump had a meeting with the CEO's a few weeks ago, this was pointed out rather abruptly.
Oh, and the Chinese Representatives in Congress, Pelosi, Feinstein, Amash, Coons, etc, are worse. They sold out America, pure and simple, for the benefit of the Chinese.

This is how these people debilitate themselves. They have come to rely so much on "altering reality" through the press and perception, that they commit to messages like "It's all just Republicans". That works for her. The media will sell it.
Who won't buy it? Any Democrats who voted for her who were out on the streets of Lansing honking, were there any.
It is a great opportunity for them to see the mechanism they vote for an consume in media works.

Give Big Pharma a THREE YEAR deadline to fully re-establish U.S. production.
And all taxes are WAIVED for that three year period.
Fail to make that deadline, and the U.S. Marshalls will be there to collect.
And they WILL collect.

Both had canards. I love fighter jets with canards. Style.
Talked a few years ago with a Swedish guy, he'd been a fighter pilot, is now an instructor with Emirates.
He said he thinks they had more fun than most fighter pilots, taking off and landing on roads. He liked the Gripen.

That we learned of the Chinese production of our basic pharmacology library and medical supply inventory is the scariest thing to come out of this Kabuki Health Theater nonsense. Our vulnerability to any bio-weapon attack is truly frightening. The reintroduction of production of our medical infrastructure back to the US should be a national security priority of dire importance.

I can't refute him that it was not hard work and leadership. Because it was.
But to see that as exclusionary to God is not to understand what the Bible says about God.
I've recently begun to repudiate what I see as my prevalent "Christian escapism". It's settling in on me that God did not deliver Christian Europe from the Black Plague (and people went crazy trying to figure out why), because his goal is to overcome the World. The Rapture, should their be one, is an instance, not a theme. It is in analogy to the Incarnation and Death that the Lord takes on the weight of the World, to overcome it.
The Lord works through flesh and hard work. He worked through an actual lineage, an actual people, an actual kingdom that had to emerge like any other kingdom (albeit much help), with a blood-thirsty self-aggrandizing people who gave not a moments' consideration to "plundering Egypt" (in God's way), *because* he hadn't remade them in His Image yet, they were just like every other tribe and people who wanted to be a Great Nation. That's what was in it for Abraham: "A Great Nation". God never promised him a really exemplary moral teacher the epitome of God's mercy who would teach that *meekness* of all things would inherit the Earth, in God's way.
Abraham was just smart enough to grasp a part of God's character, but he still wanted his Nation to be great and prosperous among all other nations.

I can accept there may, maybe possibility might be a real need for us to do bioweapons research. But that needs to be a military, national security thing equal to nuclear weapons security (but hell, Chicoms totally owned us there, so...)
It does not to be done via public acadamic labs with govt. funding.
This kind of thing should be done in an Area 51 like facility, deep underground, and with nuclear self-destruct device if all other containment fails. Turn the whole facility into plasma before any Capt. Trips can escape.
Even better would be to do it on a Moon base.

And sadly, we are failing, because we are afraid to talk about fundamental philosophy in public.
I can show, through empirical data, that a Free Society is both richer, and more technologically advanced, than one that is not free.
I can also show, through enlightened self interest, why a society where people are honorable and tell the truth, is conducive to survival.

Yet that flies in the face of the Old Testament, which is ALL about consequences for your actions.
---
Pardon me if I press a point. I'm not trying to argue any particular theology or points of theology and will keep it to widely-enough Christology.
Paul's own teaching flies in the face of that as a message. As does Jesus'. There is no longer the OT consequence of eating un-kosher, of observing or not observing Holy Days. Doing menial work on the Sabbath.
The practice wasn't it. The important part was that God made an impression on us. That he dwelt in our thoughts. So that having a consciousness of God would guide our path to understanding his ways.
Before the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit, that had to be done a lot more consciously (one could argue). However, the OT prophesizes that the law will be written in people's hearts, because it is internalizable as Jesus represented it.
Of course, one can err too far here. And it is amply evident to me as I train myself to repudiate what I am now calling my "Christian escapism", that many people have erred.
All the while, I see God's great hand in the miracles that defeat the "Elite" at every turn, while they are falling into their own traps of deceptions. I estimate Trump as quite a bit smarter than I have before. But I still perceive that the Lord is showing us glimpses of his ability to battle back "the enemy" in what he is doing now. If he allows a light to be snuffed, he is also sending a message.
I agree we are being tested. But we were stupid from the outset, and have continued in one form of stupidity or another. God's lessons are hard but illustrative if we observe and chasten ourselves to the lessons.

And they have perversely undermined it for the last two generations now.

I was warning people of this years back. There were a lot of employer types saying "Who's going to hire these people?" "I wouldn't hire them".
And the Unhinging have left it so we can hire people debilitated for life by theory or foreigners who still have some practicality in them. We've done both.
I said about a decade ago: Our children are being used as canon fodder. Sure the first hoard of snowflakes won't find a job. Revolutionaries don't care, throw more proletariat at the canon!
The point about canon fodder, is that sooner or later the canon are overrun. (Hence Napoleon's innovative use of canon, provided significant enough adjustment).

One of the fundamental concepts of the Founding Fathers, was free will, and the CONSEQUENCES they knew stemmed from said free will.
I truly believe they were inspired by the almighty.
Yet we are now in a place where both religiously, and legally, we are abrogating our own Right of Judgement, for our 'betters'
Whether its online 'pundits' telling us we must now somehow like Gays who make our skins crawl.
Or religious leaders who say we must forgive things that should not be forgiven.
Or our own government, who had LIED to me three times about things that were important (Iran did instigate the Beirut bombing, and I was there, some in Saudi DID have a hand in 9/11, and now, where I believe they KNOW this came from a bio weapons lab, but can't admit it).

She carries a S&W .357 in violation of Company Policy. And she's GOOD with the thing.
You'd be amazed what she does to fight the good fight against the SJW crowd.
And at the Vice President level, that's a LOT.

HR.
Generate new HR theories for snowflakes. Throw snowflakes at HR. People become positively selected for "diversity" or "tolerance of diversity", competence might take a back seat, because HR is now infected with guardians that will let more of the virus in.
Iowahawk's theory of institutional takeover ending with the wearing of the carcass, is a description of viral process. A virus takes the productive parts of your system and make it produce what *it* needs to thrive, screw the host. Covid-19 gets more of what *it* wants, and it defeats the smooth flow of oxygen delivery in the bloodstream to do so.
Liberalism is not only a mental disease (which I refrained from repeating for many years) it's a pathogen.

Good analogy - the problem for the virus in this case is that once it kills it's current host (it will) there's no new hosts to jump to. I think I'm starting to understand why long term human history is repeated cycles of a long slow rise, a brilliant peak, a collapse of civilization, a few hundred years of barbarism, and then a long slow rise again.

You are concerned about Biden's brain. Let me be clear, I know a more about brain surgery than you. In 1988 Biden suffered two brain aneurysms,
one on the right side and one on the left. He was rushed to Walter Reed Medical Center for brain surgery. Neurosurgeon Dr. Neal Kassell sawed off the top of Biden's skull at the forehead, removed the burst aneurysms, vacuumed out the dead brain tissue down to the eyeballs and cauterized the top of his brain with an arc welder. Biden's brain was restart with electro-convulsive therapy with three consecutive six second busts. The operation was smoke filled and his recovery messy. Dr. Kassell joked the surgery had even made him better than how he was. If you combine the IQ numbers of both Biden and Kamala Harris you will come up with a two digit figure. I cannot expose any more of Bidens Obamacare medical information. Good evening.

Ok, makes total sense because the original post about the Sonics and NBA owners had the entire name of Paul Allen's Portland team, the Trailbl***rs in it. The revised shortened post does not.
By the way, on the subject of Pixy, does anyone have that website link that you can copy some text from a website, convert it, and then get the HTML characters to show, so one can delete them?
My computer died a couple of weeks ago (true story: I laughed so hard reading a comment here one night, that I blew wine out on the keyboard and it shorted out - it was old anyway) and I don't have the website saved.
I have tried to find it, but so far, no go.

I'm really not a classical philosopher. So I can see the modernist "holes" in Rationalism and some of the predominant intellectual themes of that era.
However, I still believe that the plain language in the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom (badly quoted by a number of atheists) is hard to get around.
If we get our rights from men, other men can take them away. Madison's resolution, no matter how many times atheists have spun his words another way is that to have a persistent, consistent set of rights which cannot be taken away, there must be a Lawgiver.
In my skeptical rounding, I would amend that to say that there must be at least a non-obvious, not rigorously observed and documented source of those rights...which is equivalent in its ability to be disbelieved as God.
When I found the Jesus wanted me to have faith and I started to grasp the key role of faith, I found that faith is not blindness, it is a type of sight.
And what this would require is that we ourselves are not just mere quantities --that way that Science can *only* see us--or there would be no need for a individual reservation of rights. If the invisible, non-empirical source of rights "ships" enough rights to enough people, who's to say that's "bad"?
But that would make the rationing of rights more tolerable. Plus provided that there is some independent source of rights that we cannot now document, shouldn't we *test* to see what is a right?
If rights are "shipped" from a non-natural source, then that source provides the rights it provides. We cannot simply say "Hey, wouldn't it be cool is 'health care' is a right? I think I'm going to start saying health care is a right!"
Which shows you that the approach of the progs is entirely presumptive of any obscure source of rights whether or not we call that source Deity or Creator or Jesus. So, they are the gift of men. And it suppresses the behavior that we have any true source to observe so men take over the definition of rights. And we're right where Madison warned us we would be.
Like I said, I'm a sort of modernist in terms of analytics. But there are functional, analytical ways to put things together that do not utterly depend upon the classic concepts as they were conceived.
The progs have to contend both for the sacredness of rights, to force you to believe that the set they reveal cannot be altered (their tablets, if you will). And the editability of rights as they take it upon themselves to formalize a apportion.
This is why they make no sense. The cognitive dissonance of even trying to understand how they think has driven me exactly the other way. Plus their blunders are many, and analyzable.

I remember it new as a kid, as relatives lived nearby and we shopped there sometimes. About 20 years ago, the entire store was essentially ripped down and a newest design (at the time) was built. Big modern layout the newest FM stores have today.
For the last 5 years, one of my local normal grocery stores.
For the first time, ever, as I walked in, there was a security guy inside the door. When I walked out, I noticed the Glock on his belt.
I stopped and asked (with my bag of groceries in hand, and a gray-haired balding mofo that I am) "you're kidding me. Armed security?"
It was just a conversation from an old guy to a young 30 something, he answers "yeah, things are getting crazy around here, people have done stuff."
We both had a near chuckle about it, I shook my head and smiled, and walked to my car.

And that is a Man-shape.
God would lift us. Not without falter or mistake, because we are human. But eventually, falteringly in our own fleshly pitfalls, God's abiding hand through the Spirit lifted the Western Civilization up in his time.
We get mad at God's lack of manifest perfection when he shows us us again. But we are the material he has and has chosen to work with.
His glory is made complete in our weakness. Without faith, we can do nothing.
Quite recently I was ruminating on the central error Marxism and related systems. And I have a rather Christian (if modern) answer. They think man is technologizable. That his nature is reshapable through manipulation. Somebody like Thomas Sowell or VDH will characterize this as "perfectible".
And that eventually equates to the idea that the human is nothing in itself but what it is and what it can be made to be. But the God of the Bible illustrates that human nature is *both* what *is* being saved and what we're being saved *from*.
Human nature is (I think) by illustration of the parts that the Lord desires and the parts that he rejects, ultimately a pathway to understand the personality of God himself or at least him in comparison to our nature.
I pray for the best for America. Ultimately, though my hope is not in any tuned version of Human Republicanism. My hope is in him. The blessings of a functioning self-rule and republican government are Him as well. So, if God grant me continuation of that blessing then all praise to him.
If God chooses the long dark night to come upon man and set the Gods of the Copybook Headings to knocking, EVEN more glory to him! Having seen the glimmer of a working republican government--even if only the semblance, how could I praise man in the midst of the long dark night.
It seems almost a isomorph or parody of Nietzsche's most-quoted aphorism to think that God shines all the greater in the darkness of Man, because he refutes our faith in Man. And our hope is in that City on a Hill, the City of God.
I don't know. I try to cut it so many ways. Materialistically, naturalistically, ephiphenomenally, using all the tools I have on my toolbelt. I still cannot defeat the idea that America is born in faith. Not a "Bible-thumper's" faith, perhaps not in any strict sense. But John Locke was one of the best critical readers of scripture, and I believe that his epistemology is drastically underrated (although a great portion of his major works was analyzing a bad reading of the Bible to a better reading). But a faith in what was above the natural. In effect, that word that naturalists will often tell you nonsense "supernatural".

It occurred to me, that this is akin to wheat and tares. The judgment of God divides the wheat from the tares, which is akin to the division between the irredeemable part often called "flesh" and the image of God.
Now, I think the flesh is not all bad. It's part of the way we were wired. But the argument might be that in pure spirit--or spirit-body--we don't need "wiring" and that limited form is also jettisoned. At least the idea of "heavenly bodies" is always sort of kind of relayed like the idea of trading in a clunker for at least a state-of-the-art model.

I think the KJV translation that Jesus thought it not "robbery" to be equal with God, is quite evocative of the "Eden Heist". God doesn't want you to be like him, he doesn't want you eating of the tree, here take it.
Of course you can contrast this with another part of the story. The implication was that God talked with Adam in the garden every. frickin'. night.
That was God's slower way, the "wait" of his Glory. The fruit was sold as a quick fix. And we are now living in a much slower route.
Just imagine if the worst a human could do is await a nightly chat with God in the garden!
Envy seethes in me. But I would probably blow the deal too.

If you know and understand that Jesus paid for your sins, then you already know it will be okay, or better than okay eventually (at least that's how I'm approaching this).
As far as your exposure goes, I don't know, but you're probably okay. Listen to your doctor (maybe get his opinion on the HCQ). But a lot of folk who are exposed never develop symptoms, and most who do, don't wind up hospitalized. And we are learning how to treat it.

A buddy's mother worked in an ER. She had to admit two boys who's names sounded like Oh-ron'-jel-o and Le-mon'-jel-o.
But they were spelled "Orangejello" and "Lemonjello".
So this could be part of something we might call a "ghetto tradition"?
I learned about Marion berries just recently. I thought somebody was making some play on words, because I only knew the DC mayor.

Possibly because people are dying in the state of Pennsylvania. And they've changed who they are counting because Orangemanbad.
Of late, I don't know to trust the numbers. If a lot of things are paid with Covid-19, then you're going to get a lot more Covid-19.
Seems like we could have watched the death toll tick up for the hurricane in Puerto Rico as well. Since the dead that they eventually counted could be sitting in NYC somewhere months afterward.

My Mom had me in the kitchen doing scut work early on. Then I progressed to actually handling food and cooking. She stated, 'No son of mine is going to grow up as ignorant in the kitchen as their father!' My Dad could burn water. As I got older, my Mom actually liked some of my cooking because either she didn't make it (eggplant parm) or I did it better (fish and veggies). Once, she bought a fresh ham when I visited so I could make it on the grill for her, which I had never done before. She didn't complain. In fact, she scraped off the burnt b-b-q'd fat and ate it fresh off the grill.

Which wasn't exactly in line with a famous speech that O'Blabbo gave years ago about perhaps sending grandma home with a pill, instead of spending the money for a medical procedure. in order to bend the medical cost curve down.

Unfotunealy, there does not seem to be a way to end this nightmare in short order, looks like we will have to put up with the lockdowns till mid May and you know the usual suspects will try to push this garbage till June or July or beyond.

Then they asked blacks about all that. The reactions ranged from amusement to mild irritation at the preposterous notion that blacks don't have and can't/won't get an ID.
Posted by: Gooshy at April 17, 2020 06:27 AM (cJiUd)
I saw one of those a while ago and the blacks were in upper Manhattan. And their reaction was what you described, either bemusement or anger at the idea that they can't get an ID.
Just like the Land of Lakes Injun on the butter carton, white proggies are always saving, unasked, some minority from themselves.

And then they'll say Republicans are racist and vote for the (D) candidate.
You sort of have to admire the Democrats in a way. They are extremely good at the whole gaslighting thing. They literally hanged these peoples grandparents, call them idiots to this very day, establish scholarships because they view them as intellectually stunted as a race, and have managed to convince them that killing their babies is "healthcare."
That's badass.

Florida, at least to the early 80's, they had the the state owned liquor store system. Many of those had bars under the same roof. At the drive-thru, you could order anything you wanted...including mixed drinks. No shit. I'd pull up on my bike and get a rum and coke. Kinda tricky with a full-face helmet, but I managed.

Vermont has cancelled its annual virtual signaling event called Green Up Day. Supposed to be the first weekend in May and basically involves volunteers picking up trash along side of road ways. You are outdoors, widely separated from each other, and the trash that is picked up is placed in green bags alongside the road that are then picked up by town trucks. Chance of exposure to anything is virtually nil and yet it is cancelled. I have to admit to being surprised by that.
