Missouri Shooting

-
Here is how it is going to lay out for the policeman. If it proven that the police officer shot the young man after no confrontation. If the officer just shot him for whatever reason, then the officer is guilty, and should go to jail. If it proven that the young man tried to get the officers gun, and was fought off and the young man ran, and was shot then the officer made a mistake and id guilty. If the young man tried to take the officers gun was fought off ran, and turned and ran BACK toward the officer then the officer is in reasonable fear for his life, because the young man could be coming for the gun again. If that is the case then the officer is justified in shooting him. Nothing else natters, not him going to college, stealing cigars, either's home life. The only thing that matters is whether he scuffled, ran and then ran back at the officer. Anything short of that then the officer is guilty, not of a hate crime, or murder, but he is guilty of making a mistake.

All of these buildings hold memories for those of us old enough to remember and those of us young enough to wonder. Christmas time was the best time of year at the mall. The Christmas tree salesman in the parking lot by Sears. The decorated light posts. The Christmas music while you shopped in the mall. The package wrapping tables for the gift wrapping challe...

Quotable Quotes

-
  I care less about what happened in the past, other than to learn from it. That is its only value. Humans don't make hurricanes, and tornadoes, those are naturally occurring. We do have something to do with the severity, length, and frequency of them both. We can't exist in the environment without having an impact on it, both negatively, and positively. That is a fact and it is not in dispute, what is in dispute is to what degree our existence impacts the environment. People quit watching the legacy news because they don't like the message, which devoid of entertainment, they in turn watch Fox News, because it is entertainment and not news. Entertainment since it began in the public domain and has pandered to the lowest common denominator of the human character. Entertainment has no substance, just emotion. It makes us feel different, but does not enlighten us. I forgive, but I am not looking for forgiveness, or absolution, not from anyone in this world anyway. In this ...

The problem with cancel culture is that it looks at right and wrong through today's mirror of fake tolerance, and dubious moral indignation, instead of through the looking glass of greatness and, dignity.
