Steve: We’re *finally* figuring out that we should be protecting our most vulnerable while letting the healthy get on with their lives? This is something that was immediately obvious. Or, at least within the first two weeks.
Yep. I posted this back on April 18:
If we were truly, “The land of the free and home of the brave:”
Leave your home: your choice
Stay home: your choice
Stay 6 feet from others: your choice
Don’t stay 6 feet from others: your choice
If others choose to not stay 6 feet from you: your choice to take that risk if you choose to leave
your house
Wear a mask: your choice
Don’t wear a mask: your choice
Go to work: your choice
Don’t go to work: your choice
Possibly fire you for not going to work, your employer’s choice
Businesses remain open: their choice
Businesses close: their choice
No government involvement necessary.
Sadly, and tragically, we have become, “The land of the fleeced and home of the slave.”
Invading the personal space of others, regardless of the situation, is trespassing your liberty to violate that of others. It’s why concealed carry is so useful.
Because I choose to leave my house and go out into public spaces is not consent or license for anyone to trespass on my person. I will object, and my objection will be in proportion to the measure of trespass.
Otherwise I agree the rest.
1) on the swimmer denied participation; he has learned a very valuable lesson at a young age: “Life is not always fair!” That is probably more useful to him than any trophy he might otherwise have acquired via competing.
2) on the 3 bacteria not yet identified: clearly it was Trump’s fault that unidentified biological objects are on the ISS. He failed to stop them at the border with the stratosphere, where Bill lounges occasionally.
3) on quantum supremacy: so now not only do we need to concern ourselves with the viewpoints of people of color, but now also with particles of color (or that have color or exhibit color parameters, or …). So it is not so much quantum supremacy as particle supremacy that we should be on the outlook for. Of course, that is particalist, so I will stop now …
Quarks come in red, yellow and blue.
Martin Caidin wrote a book ‘Four Came Back’ about a mutated bacteria in a space lab.
As for Motivation
I’ll add a possible cause for the ‘unknown bacteria’ on the ISS. Presumably in space, even if shielded, the ISS receives more ionizing radation than might be the case on earth so perhaps that radiation led to accelerated evolution or genetic change in ‘normal’ bacteria which got there from earth.
using Steve’s logic we must have all been evil commies in a past life to continually deserve the Lightning Round
RE: “Life forms unknown to science” on the ISS
I say we boost off and nuke the whole thing from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Bill Deblasio is the perfect example of what happens when a lifetime pussy attains bureaucratic power.
Quantum Cowardice threatens to cancel Quantum Supremacy, a Physics Professor is proposing this because it ads insult to injury? I’m curious to see if he submits this poorly reasoned, socially correct sphincter smooching argument for peer review.
I would recommend that New York citizens shoot back when the officers arrive to accuse them of hateful behavior. Oh. Wait. New York is not place the average person can be armed. Never mind. Carry on with your oligarchy.
Does NYC have hardware stores? Home Improvement mega-box outlets?
Give me 20 minutes in Home Depot/Lowes, and I can put together a projectile weapon that will fire multiple rounds which can penetrate body armor, intruder, next intruder, next intruder…
Just get ’em to “stack up” like they do. Don’t need S&W for that.
For that matter, thugs in that “city” have begun to embrace the elegance of the edged weapon. How many machete attacks have made the news out of NYC lately?
You are absolutely correct. It was demonstrated in Boston several years ago that a pressure cooker, some chemicals and nails are all that need to inflict damage. Weapons are easy. Using them resposibly is apparently becoming less so given the increasing number of “children” in society — I present Creepy Joe and the Skank as exhibits one and two for your consideration.
I keep thinking that if these rifle bans actually go into effect in a misguided attempt to stop mass shooters, the deranged could (not sure if they would have the brainpower or not, they might not be as coldly calculating as the Boston set David P mentions below) get a couple of 5 gallon buckets, fill one with ammonia and one with chlorine, walk into a place, set them down to pop the lids, grab a deep breath and dump them over before running out the door.
Ya know, I’ve reached my BS saturation point a long time ago and I really don’t care what the “woke” mob has to say anymore. It’s all become garbage in my ears and if it doesn’t change my everyday life, I just don’t care. I’ve become numb to their senseless yammering about diversity and gender selection based on what anyone feels they are. I am a heterosexual Christian white male and proud of it. If you don’t like it, it doesn’t bother me a single bit. I’m beginning to think sanity today is abnormal. Society is going to hell in a handbasket but I won’t be going with it. I will follow the rules just enough to keep me out of prison and that’s all.
I have no idea where I’m going with this and I think my rant is over. Carry on.
All I can say is good rant.
Your “rant” is simply a slightly longer version of Lionel Griffin’s outstanding adage: Reality Is Not Optional.
When discussing alien life, why don’t we start with politicians who assume their own greatness absolves them of criminal behavior?
The super woke physics professor is worried about a lack of diversity in STEM. Other branches of the woke-ocracy are telling us that math is racist, so black kids shouldn’t have to learn math, which would ensure that there will not be more diversity in STEM. It’s almost like the situation is really just how the woke want it to be.
Also, I thought De Blasio believed cops are racist thugs? But now he’s sending them door to door to police smack talk? Has De Blasio even met a New Yorker? And what if the “hateful” perpetrator is black? Is the cop supposed to take a knee in solidarity and apologize before leaving? Hmm.
When I was very young the equivalent of the modern woke were the anti-establishment typically comprised youthful idiots with limited life experience. Today, such childish behavior has exceeded the confines of our youth. The primary example is our current resident of the oval office with an ignorant, childish woman selected as his running mate, who has been recently tapped to oversee the illegal alien problem at the southern border. The most laughable thing about that appointment is that in recent years she made an equivalence between ICE border agents and the ku Klux Klan: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kamala-harris-immigration-border-decriminalize-ice-kkk
Indeed, the world is insane.
When met with the threat of covid19
what better than water chock full of chlorine,
but when the religion of fear has its mass,
not even the faithful will get a sure pass,
When new life is conjured in labs far from Terra,
It promises us a brand new world era,
brought back to a world that its never seen,
will the new form of life get covid quarantined?
In New York, they say, the badges quell hate,
they knee cap dissenters for the good of the state,
and when you’re disabled, unable to roam,
they’ll finish you off in their state nursing homes.
Ban all the science! All the trigger words swarming,
terms like “quantum supremacy” and, umm…”Global warming”
But lest we forget, the science is settled,
white folks should not speak as they lack mind and mettle.
The ol’ Texas cowboy shows no sign at all,
of extermination by free neanderthals,
In DC it galls them that the dead don’t stack high,
How else can they force all the free to comply?
Bravo! My new favorite sentence “They knee cap dissenters for the good of the state” LOL.
Quantum supremacy? In all fairness, this goes back over 20 years – the most powerful weapon from Star Trek DS9 was the Quantum Torpedo
The kid should have showed up for the swim meet, decalred that he’s actually a girl and forced the school to not discriminate against trans athletes
No Bill, nuke it from the ground, it’s the only way to be sure. 🙂
I thought that blowing it up from orbit was the only way to be sure?
They’re already in orbit…
good stuff. one trusts that neil degrasse tyson doesn’t get his panties in a wad.
