Between mass shootings and black people being killed by police, you have to wonder why and what you can do about it. Guns and the easy access to get them are just partially to blame. But what is most to blame is attitudes. White supremacy, the selfishness of conservative Christians who are so far awayContinue reading “Too Many Deaths”

Sleazebag Loses
I’m so glad to see that Eyeman finally is being forced to pay for his grifting. He lived off the donations from supporters, money that was supposed to be used for political campaigns, like one of his first; demanding that car tabs be a flat rate and ignoring that the fees from these tabs goContinue reading “Sleazebag Loses”
Hatred and Discrimination
I find it sad that so many people “hate” others who are different. Growing up, I thought everyone thought like I did, that all people were people, even with their differences. As I got older, I felt that maybe racial biases were more of a southern thing until I started seeing the racism all aroundContinue reading “Hatred and Discrimination”
Republican Short Attention Span and Selective Amnesia
One thing about conservative Republicans or “Trumplicans” is their double standards about rules rights. They demand “religious freedom” for themselves and the demand that no one else gets the same rights, insisting that America is a Christian nation. Spoiler alert: it’s not. They want to determine what others, who don’t follow their own ideas, beliefsContinue reading “Republican Short Attention Span and Selective Amnesia”

More people died in the FedEx shooting than got blood clots after the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. But when the vaccine showed a problem with a tiny percentage of people, it was immediately stopped. When guns showed a problem with a huge percentage of people, it’s completely ignored.

Blame is not the same as responsibility. Responsibility literally means the ability to respond. In other words, to do somethingContinue reading “Responsibility”
Pandemic Anxiety
I would bet this a strong reality for a lot of people. But not me. I’ve been retired for 21 years and now I’m pretty much homebound in my recliner with my laptop. Funny how some things can feel like blessing.
Revenge Houses
Hating others is nothing new. It goes back to the beginning of time. Here are houses built just annoy others, including on in Seattle. I guess some of these could be the first tiny houses and others the first McMansions.
Multiple people with gunshot wounds after shooting at FedEx facility in Indianapolis, police say
I’m so tired of people saying things like “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” No! People with guns kill people. People with knives kill people. People with cars kill people. The key words are “kill people”.. guns, knives and cars are just the process to deliver death. ****************************************************************************************** “Earlier, law enforcement officials said thereContinue reading “Multiple people with gunshot wounds after shooting at FedEx facility in Indianapolis, police say”
