Ha! Unseen.

All of us, by the looks of your map. But not Iceland. Iceland has the moral high ground 🙂

Robert I know! On the plus side, your projection depends on humans still existing in enough numbers to share that opinion.

Unseen, that’s funny in America but not funny in Denmark, for example. Or Iceland. Or many other places where the government actually works for the people.

It’s a testimony as to how far apart the actions of the US government are from the needs of the people they’re supposed to work for.

Americans don’t trust their government. This is a huge element of why there are many unvaccinated people here – and that applies randomly to different state governments as well.

It seems as if your trust in your state government is high, you’ll follow their recommendation and get vaccinated. This can be seen through the different rates of vac…[Read more]

Autumn it feels here in the USA that fear is the underlying commonality, the emotion constantly simmering under the surface. Fear of any accident that would bankrupt you, fear of sickness you can’t afford the cure for, fear of unemployment – most states let you fire at will. It’s called “Hire at will” which is a little Orwellian.

With fear be…[Read more]

Autumn, I’m in Vermont and Canada is directly above us. It’s a 2 1/2 hour drive to the border. I’ll be in touch when we need to flee 🙂

People say the measure of a society is how it treats its weaker members, which includes children, the old people and the disabled (mental or physical).  I am specifically not including foreigners, as in people…[Read more]

That’s going to be Walmart, 2024 on Black Friday, I just know it.

“What’s unfortunate was that it took something as visceral as the idea of mass unmarked graves for Canadians to give the response and acknowledgement that was owed all along. ”

You see that as unfortunate, but really I think you have to celebrate the apparent fact that Canadians are able to re-examine their flaws and try to address them. Yes i…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!

Thanks, Reg!!

Thank you, Reg!!

I see a fair amount of repudiation of post-life life as I surf, although I must admit the digestive tract analogy was refreshingly new to me.

I also have a favourite response to the question.

Theist:- “what happens after you die?”

Me: “Either we are totally extinguished, OR we all go to heaven because God is loving and forgiving so obvio…[Read more]

I have a little gem for you from a Quorean (Jon Jermy) responding to a question on how atheists feel about whether their consciousness continues after their death.

“

My ‘consciousness’ is not an object, or a type of person. It’s a process — specifically the combination of certain physical processes going on in my brain and the r…[Read more]

I watched some exorcism flick and the priest screamed blessings at the jets of water he was pumping from a kids water cannon – which seemed to do the trick. I think more priests should adopt this delivery method.

Reg seriously!  I can’t wait to send this to my Catholic lawyer friend!

Thank you Reg!

Simon, did you actually read the article before you posted about it?
