    Capital punishment.

    I understand he had a "grievance" with the Mayor of New York. He has been caught and we have to await answers. But it does show that once may be long ago when we would "air" our grievance's in a less Physical way those days have come to an end and now "we take arms against a sea of troubles"...

    The Primary Human Drive Is ... ?

    IMHO what drives us Humans is simply "Survival" We can take pleasure in helping others, or standing up for what we believe is right, but "when the clock is ticking" and we (or our close Kin) are under threat "survival" brings the "blood flow up " and we find strength not only in a physical sense...

    Can a quotation brighten your day?

    While sorting "items and papers" collected over the years, this inspired me. "When someone really irritates you" Do not allow yourself to react by punching them in the Face. Instead, step back, take three slow deep breaths, and remind yourself you are in control. Then step forward and punch...

    President Biden: State of the Union 2022 / 03 / 01

    After most of the world's atomic weapons are detonated around the world, even if the planet's population was the same as it was 4,000 years ago, the population of nuclear holocaust survivors might be spread so sparsely there might not be enough genetic diversity, from inbreeding. Rampage A very...

    President Biden: State of the Union 2022 / 03 / 01

    Though it is technically unofficial, the U.S. nuclear missile launch command sequence does include humans that may disobey an order. Rampage I just wonder if (the Being forbid) that could happen. After all each and every person who has the "Button" in front and was ordered to press, they would...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    Today, I read a very interesting article about the opposition to Putin in Russia. It appears even though he is "manufacturing" news as to the War in Ukraine a growing number are questioning his "so called power". He is 70yrs old and the article went on as to say he will not see much longer. The...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    "Ramble". It might look like that. The problem is, you've attempted to apply rational analysis to the most extreme actions of madmen. Rampage Thank you Rampage, you have made me feel almost Human again. More later.

    Capital punishment.

    Today I read, a report about a "person" seriously injuring people while travelling in a Train in New York. I read that they are hunting a man who has issues with leader of New York so decided "I will make him pay" by shooting and gassing those on the train. Now I see that a number of people...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    When viewing current affairs, from our humble status, one often gets the impression, (well I do) that some how the world in general is made up of "Working persons-those that claim and don't work, and those that would be helped by putting them into a Mental institute" i.e. our present leaders...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    Putin has a tiger by the tail, and he's not smart enough to get himself out of it gracefully. Rampage I think that sums up the on going problem. He has totally miss-understood, not only the people of Ukraine, but and may more important that the "civilised" world will not allow him to get away...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    "With its plans thwarted for a quick takeover of Ukraine, Russia has named a new commander for its continuing assault on eastern Ukraine, a military leader U.S. officials say has a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other war zones. Rampage. Totally agree Rampage. What does bring...

    Can a quotation brighten your day?

    I have quoted this simple "formula" before. 95% of the Worlds population is either inept or leaderless. 1% are Saints 1% are "rear-end people" 3% are leaders. Viewing what is happening to the world I am convinced the formula is more or less correct. So, as in the 1920's and on to the 1930's...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    Russia is calling back to active duty recently retired military, and recruiting from outside Russia. Sear. Now that is very interesting. Simply because it could be a way that the Ukraine Government, could start to allow "others" to join the fight. As for the new so called Commander, he had a...

    Just may be the "one true being" has with thought allowed a number of interpretations to flourish allowing Man to "pick and choose".

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    I think you Sear, have general summed up the situation at present. But what if as this "grinds on" a growing number in Russia start to question. Back may be 10 or 20 years ago, it's possible the the Leaders including Putin would have got away with it, but now the Russian people have for the last...

    Can a quotation brighten your day?

    "There is no pleasure worth foregoing just for an extra 3 years in the geriatric ward." Sear Now while I age, that thought is beginning to take hold. However when you age is it possible you start to "see things as they really are". By that I mean when you look back and remember what has happened...

    Capital punishment.

    Until the prisoner has exhausted his appeals process, a process that may take decades, he's receiving food, clothing, & shelter from government anyway. And b) paying lawyers to both prosecute, and defend the criminal convict is more expensive than life imprisonment. Sear And that really sums up...

    Could this strategy shut down Putin's aggression at Ukraine?

    Putin may be being lied to about the actual events in Putin's war on Ukraine, lied to by his own Russian team. Sear. That is a very plausible possibility. But surely he is an intelligent person, that the question has to be asked "why has the War continued". But another thought and it gained some...

    Capital punishment.

    Sear, as I age, there are some things that seem to become clearer. I am not saying that it's the right way, to end a person life by official means, but the question I raise is spending funds on keeping someone alive in reasonable comfort while the funds could be better spent on the needy, plus...

    Capital punishment.

    And yet again, we had a "Murderer" who has served 20 plus years so far but was put in what we describe as an "Open Prison". He went missing and again we had alert the Police force to catch him. In my mind not only a total waste of time by" keeping him locked up" but the cost, which again in my...
