"It is indeed one of the capital tragedies..."

 new youngsters in the neighborhood...until they become a meal for the hawks etc...

so heard that mr robert kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for a variety of charges which were brought against him...not the least of which was operating an ongoing criminal enterprise...i think he was caught up in the "PIMP" culture which was so popular a few years ago...which we were warned against by mr O'Shea Jackson Sr....but which was promoted by Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr...well all i have to say is 30 years! it is only a number...WHO'S THE MACK!

interesting things in the news last week...monday was juneteenth...celebrating the delayed freeing of those persons who had been enslaved in galveston texas, usa...nowadays they are free to work for minimum federal wage of $7.25 per hour...what a joke..why are there not people protesting in every city in the nation to increase the federal minimum wage! i spent so much time working for minimum wage that my social security is pretty minimal too...better than a stick in the eye...next day was migrant day...(actually we should say refugees) there are 100 million refugees across the globe these days...what the hell is that about!...the next day was the day that the constitution of the usa was adopted in 1788...lets hear a big cheer for the constitution of the usa...well Aristotle collected constitutions but the only one that survived was the one for athens greece...i picked up a newspaper with an interesting story about a fellow...a mr. s. bickings...who climbed over a 4 foot fence and after a cop told him it was not legal to swim in the lake he waded into the lake and drowned...do you know what law was enforced in this case? it was the LAW OF NATURAL SELECTION...thats right mr. s. bickings was culled out of the population....there of course were protests because the cops did not enter the water to save the man from drowning...what a joke   !also there has been protests about monkeys being used to harvest coconuts for the juice...thats what monkeys do...climb trees...this is in thailand where they just legalized pot...maybe they can get stoners to climb the trees instead...just a thought...big news in el salvador...2% of the population has been detained (read imprisoned) 11 thousand of these detainees are children...40 thousand people in all have been picked up because there was so much violent crime associated with "GANGS"...they say 70% of the population approve of this action...i believe this country has some of the strictest gun laws in the world...a computer type worker has claimed that he has a computer that is "sentient"...which means that it has feeling that were not part of the computer program...his bosses say they doubt it...who knows...but i would think twice about how much information you give to your smart phone or alexis or any other mother board...HAL is lurking out there...a good article in NY times about transgender people...1.4% of the population is transgender in the usa...or 1.6 million people...i do not know if this is politically correct to ask but how many people went from male to female and from female to male...

i have been thinking about my "LIST"...which is persons whose absence would be beneficial to the health of the planet...of course at the head of the list is v.putin...i have been reading a book which i have seen around for a while."Legacy of Ashes" a history of the central intelligence agency"....this little misfit agency has made a lot of lists of people to eliminate...but they are pretty inept to say the least...so perhaps a billion dollar bounty could be put on putins head...payable anonymously...i watched a movie recently which i was not going to recommend because...well it is about two used car salesmen...who kill people for money also as a side job...it is called "Jerry and Tom" (2011) 97 minutes...it has several well known actors in it...and the camera work is very creative...it is kind of depressing though...and it has a message...at the end...you might say the message is about "the rule of complete play" as they say in the gambling circles...

"The race pride..."

                     hummingbird in the moon...sort of artsy...

big news in forest world...they is burning up...and also floods is happening...roads to yellowstone washed out...if mother nature don't get you mankind will...

now i hate to keep bringing this up...but i have recently heard  unsettling things in various radio interviews...an orthodox Jewish man told an interviewer that he had 18 (EIGHTEEN) children...the interviewer said he had two and they were a handful..the Jewish man said that after three kids they start raising each other...a woman who was a refugee was lamenting that she had 10 children but three died when she was forced to leave her home country...that leaves her with seven if my calculator is correct...an american woman was lamenting the death of her beloved husband from covid leaving her to raise 9 children on her own...as a long time zoo keeper i can say with some confidence that the more mouths there are to feed and the more butts there are to clean up after the more resources need to be increased to  (1) provide adequate diet (2) provide adequate sanitation...not Ph.D level thinking there but indisputable wheelbarrow and shovel thinking...when a person of a certain age starves, the brain development is thwarted and they have less mental capacity... we need more brain power not less...there is no innate URGE greater than the URGE to reproduce...i am not against sex or reproduction but i do frown upon starvation and unsanitary living...i read an article about birth control for men folks...the research in this field is sadly lacking...an i believe that the reason is that females want to control the births...probably unconsciously...but nevertheless they want to control births...so men folk must take the situation in hand and refuse to let the female "ace in the hole"...in a manner of speaking...be the deciding factor in birth control...

now i see where there are some apparently retarded white  guys who call themselves patRIOTs...retarded white guys are becoming an embarrassment...just as the burning, looting "people of colored" became am embarrassment to Blacks. (i was noticing that"Black" is capitalize and white is not and the Latinos can put an "X" at the end of Latino.) I think it is only proper and fitting for white people to be shown the same consideration and i recommend that we now be referred to as "WHITE Y...sounds like a plan to me...

watched a few DVDs recently and came across one that was worthy of comment it is titled "Flu Birds" from 2008 (95 minutes) it was 75 cents as the usual price was reduced by 25%..i have several 75 cents but eh 95 minutes are running short...the story here is that mutant birds have a virus, actually it is the bird virus that was just detected in southern arizona yesterday...so these birds look like a cross between a man sized bat and a vulture and they like to eat people and they do it very well...the main characters are a group of teens who are doing time at a camp for being delinquents...there is ms slutty, and ms nerdy and tough guy and hip hop and the black guy...there was was couple of more but they fed them to the mutant birds...there are two memorable scenes...one is when tough guy and ms slutty decide to "get it on" and try to eat one anothers face..not a pretty site...and the other is unique in the history of film i believe...it is when the woman doctor decides to leave the hospital and the security guard shoots her in the back...it is obviously an attempt to make fun of retarded people...thats all i can figure...anyhow if you have 89 minutes to spare this movie has "good production values"...that is it is mostly all in focus...

       Putin is on my list...

all day and all night the radio has sad tails of humans who have lost their balance and have succumbed to "reptiles of the mind" as it were...what is the solution? I sometimes imagine myself sitting in a lawn chair...on the moon...looking down at the planet Earth and trying to imagine what it would take not to get mentally trapped by the madness which seems to overcome so many people...and i figure if i would just, first of all acknowledge that i am an EARTHLING...nothing more...nothing less...rejecting all the labels which have been stuck on me since i was born...EARTHLING!...now I have a little breathing room and can politely...or not...reject those folks notion that I must be this way or that way..wear this color or that...be enthusiastic about this politics or that politics and finally embrace my true heritage...EARTHLING...along with all the other species of earthlings and try to show some respect for the fact that my species of earthling should acknowledge the reality that all the other species also have to make a living on this planet...

"Many a person will have the courage to die gallantly, but will not have the courage to say, or even to think, that the cause for which they are being asked to die is an unworthy one. Obloquy is, to most people more painful than death. " Bertrand Russell (1950)
