The intent of this blog is to promote human equality, human progress, human peace and justice, and optimism. To accomplish this, to encourage the discussion of ideas after identifying and discovering problems, and then creating positive solutions for "we the people," in order to provide for the "general welfare" and "domestic tranquility" of America now and its "posterity" into the future. To encourage an emphasis on separation of religion and state for all, no matter if this is for those "of faith" in a Maker / Creator (Deists, God-loving people, Christians, various people of spirituality) and atheists or agnostics.

Vaccines (Letter to Editors, Press & Sun-Bulletin, Oct. 16, 2021)

Dear Editors:
Interesting figures on the front page today about the number of health care workers who have lost jobs because of not taking the vaccine. Oh, boo hoo. Being a bleading heart liberal and lawyer, I must say oh boo hoo and feel sorry for them, right? Where is the number of people whom I have known who have died because of COVID-19 after refusing a vaccine. What are those numbers? Why make us feel sorry for these healthcare workers? What is the purpose for making us feel sorry for them? And where are the statistics of those who are not against the vaccine who have caught the COVID-19 virus and died? Or for those who have the vaccine and caught the virus and perhaps have not suffered as much as death, but still suffer? Why not project feeling bad for these others?D

Why did your newspaper make us feel bad and a huge photograph of someone with a sign, “Honk for medial freedom”? Oh, yeah. What about a sign which says, “honk for all American’s freedom to live and move beyond this war on a virus.” Or, a sign which reads, “honk for the freedom of all to be able to not wear masks and get a virus because it is no longer necessary.” What does that mean, only if we die and go to heaven? What a joke. We all want the ability to seek “life, liberty, and pursue happiness” while on this earth. These people seeking their own idea of “medical freedom” create a hell on earth for all of us.

I can go beyond this with other matters. How about my freedom NOT to pay such GODDAMN high prices for prescriptions and eye injections while on Medicare and not with a job with a medical insurance. Excuse me for saying, GODDAMN, but that is the way I feel about the evil people with greed and selfishness at big pharma and big insurance with their evil love of money. Yes, I mean it. GODDAMN them in the big fat lazy boardrooms at the top with hedge hogs and corporate welfare, while working to deny the return on investments of capitalism that we as Americans should be receiving after long-term investments in healthcare and Medicare (plus interest). Where is my “medical freedom” after spending tons and tons of money  in support of organizations researching solutions for diabetes, heart, Alzheimer’s, and cancer? But really. Spending money on investment in a supposed CAPITALIST… CAPITALIST… CAPITALIST… CAPITALIST… CAPITALIST…. economics for many years and that is not very important at all. So we give a voice on the front page of a newspaper in favoring these idiots who deny us our freedom to live in peace and justice in this society – with their loud microphones they are given. Where is my microphone?

There are other matters i could mention which address freedoms for us. Personal injury lawyers are another example, with people making money by pitting Americans against Americans and proclaiming a religious belief that to everything there is a good and an evil and never is there “time and unforseen circumstances which befall us all (Ecclesiastes).  Sure. I am cherry-picking the Bible when I say this. But is that as bad as the cherry-picking of the Bible by those against the vaccines? My cherry-picking involves examples in the Bible which demonstrate a God with agape for all God’s children, not a chosen race, religion, heterosexual traditionalism, or white power, etc.

How many have died because they did not get vaccinated? How many have died because of the spread of the virus while catering to the big mouths like those on the front page of today’s newspaper? Perhaps inquiring minds would like to know, but are denied when a newspaper chooses to invoke sensationalist journalism on its front page rather than present ALL the facts. Emotions of sensationalist journalism suck, big time.

And a member of the royal society also said that we need to devote more of our time and resources to fighting the problems on earth, before going off into outer space. Stuff that into your boots, Mr. Bezos, the trillionaire. Kudos to people like Bill Gates, one time person at the help of Microsoft, for working for world health considerations.

There I Go Again: Vaccinations

When my mother told me about the days when America had to ration sugar and she was limited, by her mother, to how many pieces of cake she should consume in one sitting, she told me how her mother tried to validate the rationing by saying, “I hope someday you will have a family and not have to be limited to the amount of cake and sugar you consume. Added to that, was my mother explaining the fear that German u-boats had been seen off the Atlantic coast. it has been proven there was such an existence. In fact, she may not have known, but there were actually German Nazi troops coming ashore in some locations. Despite the fact she, as an individual child, wished to consumer more cake and have her freedom to do so, she learned about the collective freedom of America.

When one claims they have a freedom not to have a vaccination, prove with vaccine ID they have, or wear a mask for te “war” against COVID-19, I think about my mother and the cake she was not able to consume. Such people are an insult to America as they are talking about putting oneself first and more concerned about individual freedom. They are not talking about our nation’s collective freedom to fight a war on a virus. With wearing masks, it is more about protecting others, not about our individual greedy selfish selves. It’s a war, stupid, not individual selfishness and individual freedom. Period.
There I go again. And I am not unhappy about repeating what I say. In fact, I find anyone who finds me to be stupid for saying such a thing, they are being ignorant and unwilling to humble oneself in order to LEARN!

Get Vaccinated

The person who wrote about the “angel of death” during today’s Passover being one who requires a proof of vaccination card is crazy, mentally ill, a sicko. Whatever religious group mesmerizes people like this to believe these false things and put this nation in chaos needs to be strung up. If this is a message about Armageddon coming, then it’s these wackos who speak like this who will bring on Armageddon, not God or our Creator.
The ones who are the “angel of death” are those who express the lies about not getting vaccinated. They will have the death of those who die from COVID-19 and the Delta variant on their hands. They will be responsible for the deaths of many people and God our Creator, I am quite certain, will not approve. 

For me, I will be happy when we are no longer needing to remain separate from one another, due to people getting vaccinated properly and curtailing the spread of the virus. It has been proven that those who are vaccinated stand less risk of contracting the new Delta variant. This variant spreads faster than the original.

Stop the arrogance of egotistical religious nuts who speak lies to their people.

I do not express my disdain over what happens to my fellow humans just for my own sake and to pursue favors and handouts. I do it in order to gain R – E – S – P – E – C – T for me and for millions of other Americans of any race, ethnicity, religious belief, or sex and sexual identity who try to walk in integrity as they attempt to achieve, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  PERIOD.  One nation under God [our Creator] with liberty and justice for all.
