Aspiring totalitarians ignore the law
The baffling concept that half of America will
simply shrug their shoulders and submit to the dictatorship of the other
half is as dangerous as it is misguided and foolish. When you toss out
the law, bad things happen. Somehow they got the impression that the
American people will accept whatever they do, whatever injustice they
impose, whatever whims they choose to enforce. That is an unbelievably
dangerous notion, says Kurt Schlichter in this article, Rejecting The Rule Of Law Means Inviting The Rule Of Guns, at Town Hall.
The Impending Catastrophe
There is no rule of law any more if you're a
government employee—or one of those protected by same. The majority
opinion appears to be that as long as you can get your little piece of
the grift, whether it be Medicare, Food Stamps, Section 8 or a rising
stock market it's all ok. Ask yourself—is that actually true or are you
deluding yourself? Are you falling behind despite getting your little
piece of the grift or are you getting ahead? What about your children?
Are they able to get ahead?, says Karl Denninger in this article, The Impending Catastrophe, at Market Ticker.
Tried and true virus protection
A killer infectious disease is discovered nearby.
You drive down to the big-box store to buy a dozen cans of spray. They
are wiped out. It looks like a bomb hit the aisles of the pharmacy. You
curse the social media that generated the panic and left you the last
person in-the-know. But virus, in general, are not that hard to kill.

Old school
What all these fellas had in common was morals,
sense of community, honor, strength, the good old virtues. They vibed
calm, deadly if necessary; do the right thing always, no bullshit, word
is my bond. No showboating or colorful language tossed around just to
hear themselves talk, no hey look at me how important I am sort of
conduct. The Polack that ran the junkyard, he still dressed like a
Polack even though he came home from the Pacific with a sack full of
ears and a face full of shrapnel. "Wat? Wat? I went dere. I done some
tings, I come home. Dat's it," says Chasmatic in this article, Father's Day, at Spillers of Soup.
Reality check
- Both during slavery and as late as 1920, a teenage girl raising a
child without a man present was rare among blacks. A study of 1880
family structure in Philadelphia found that three-quarters of black
families were nuclear families (composed of two parents and children).
What is significant, given today's arguments that slavery and
discrimination decimated the black family structure, is the fact that
years ago, there were only slight differences in family structure among
racial groups.Walter Williams at townhall.com/columnists
Ferguson and the press
- There’s no point in marching around and shaking your fists if no one
is paying attention to you. The riots and looting will continue for as
long as there are correspondents there to shove cameras into angry faces
while asking them what it is that they are so angry about. And if they
aren’t angry yet, they’ll find something to be angry about if they want
to be on the evening news.

I was particularly interested in the virus protection advice. Having worked many years in hospitals, hand washing was always stressed as the #1 defense on spreading infection. I wonder how many of us know how to wash our hands in a protective way and do it with the necessary frequency. When you need to wash your hands, make sure they are under running hot water lathering with regular liquid soap (disinfectant kind is not good) and rubbing it all over your hands for at least 20 seconds, rinsing all the soap off & then dry with a paper towel that you throw away after use. The liquid disinfectant hand cleaners are supposed to be effective if you apply properly, which a lot of people don't.
ReplyDeleteThink of all those children going back to school and how little they get to wash their hands let alone the proper way. Dens of disease and pestilence schools are, and that was BEFORE the youth of Central America came on the scene. Can't wait to see how that all goes.
Can't wait to see how that all goes.
DeleteReally. My father, a country doctor, was meticulous about washing his hands, not so much I, at an early age, though. :)
Heck, no one I know including me always does it right. If I am at home, I am not always meticulous, unless I am cooking. Out in the world, I have to be a lot more conscientious. Makes me not want to eat out any more when I see those hidden camera shows... (
ReplyDelete:) You know, but sometimes I think it must be way overdone considering the many street places where I have eaten over the years.
DeleteIf the food is cooked at high enough heat, the chances of getting sick are much less. If you eat fruit or vegetables that aren't cooked, that's where the trouble is if you aren't used to the food. People who live there and eat it all the time are immune to their germs (but can get sick elsewhere). Nowadays they tell you not to wash your chicken or meat before you cook it, which shocked me. The reason given is you spread more salmonella around your sink and counter by washing the meat. The cooking heat will kill the germs, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thanks.
DeleteNone of this was about the way to save us from Ebola, and other scary things., but I am known for digressing.
