The Theology Of Daniel Boone -

"Love and fear God,
Believe in Jesus Christ,
Do all the good to my neighbor, and myself as I can,
Do as little harm as I can help,
And trust on God's mercy for the rest."

There are a lot of books on spirituality & religion out there.
I don't suppose any of 'em said any more or laid it out any clearer than ol' Dan did in those few lines.
cheers

BANG BANG YOU'RE DEAD



It's A Film About A Play About School Shootings.

I heard about it last night on a Coast To Coast AM radio program discussing school shootings.
The guest, Dr. Charles Simone, mentioned the play and claimed some 100+ wow people identified problems in their lives similar to those depicted in the play - and sought help.
It might be presumed that several school shootings were thus averted.
Perhaps more than by all other preventative measures - legislative and otherwise - combined.

Of course, this won't grab media headlines like a mass killing ("If it dies - it flies." "If it bleeds - it leads.") or stirring up controversy over Gun Control/Gun Rights.

Dr. Simone suggested the play be periodically staged/the film shown in every school in the U.S.

This first came up on sky's 'School Shootings' blog.
I felt it deserved a blog of its own.

Memorial Day, May 28, '18 - Remembering PTSD

(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Our veterans' group will be raising awareness of PTSD this Memorial Day, May 28.

Memorial Day is set aside to remember those lost in our wars.
We should also remember those - military & civilian of all nations - who to a greater or lesser extent have been and are being lost to PTSD.

The following vid presents the WWI Suresnes American Cemetery in France.
The vid highlights the graves of twin sisters Dorothea and Gladys Cromwell.
Both served as American Red Cross civilian nurses in The Great War.
Both became victims of PTSD.



The following article relates the story of the sisters.

(Troll) Trouble Brewing?

I'm Taking The Unorthodox Step Of Posting My Final Comment At The BEGINNING of this renamed blog...

COMMENT -

Shall we begin by defining our subject?
We shall.

INTERNET TROLL troll
"In Internet slang, a troll (/tro?l, tr?l/) is a person who SOWS DISCORD* on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by POSTING INFLAMMATORY*, extraneous, or OFF-TOPIC MESSAGES* in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or BLOG*) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or otherwise DISRUPTING NORMAL, ON-TOPIC DISCUSSION , OFTEN FOR THE TROLL'S AMUSEMENT*."
- Wikipedia (*emphasis mine, Mic)

I submit to the gentle reader (and any other interested parties) that what follows below the horizontal line is not the perfect picture of a trolled blog.
And if so, how said trolling was instigated, enabled & accomplished in the astonishingly short span of a very few comments.

The original title is included. The blog appears in its entirety below the line.
No comments have been deleted for the sake of brevity.
The 2nd blog referred to in one of my comments may viewed @ miclee blogs - Coffee Talk

THE ORIGINAL BLOG AND ALL COMMENTS APPEAR BELOW. Judge For Yourselves -
__________________________________________

Trouble Brewing?
Do You Have Difficulty Making Good Coffee?

This blog is not about coffee. Or tea. Or beer.
I got that out there so y'all won't have to make puns in the comments.
Considerate of me, no? batting

It has to do with the timing of certain current events...

1) Israeli F-35s overflew locations in Syria & Iran undetected, including the site of Iran's alleged nuclear goings on.

2) Netanyahu spoke about Iran's alleged nuclear aspirations - (Casus Belli dunno )

3) The U.S. backed out of the Iran nuke deal & announces strict sanctions.

4) Iranian missiles were allegedly launched into Israel from Syria.

5) Israel launched the largest air strike in Syria since the '73 war.

6) Israel will celebrate its 70th anniversary of becoming a nation on Monday.

7) And the U.S. will open it's embassy in Jerusalem.

8) Ramadan (and presumably the attendant annual spike in terrorist attacks) begins on Wednesday.

Is it just me?
Or does anyone else see any potential problems here?
dunno

U.S. vs Canadian Police

Law Enforcement, U.S. Style...



Law Enforcement, Canadian style...



Those two vids should be shown - in that order - in every police training program in the U.S.
Those are ultimate Bad Cop/Good Cop examples.
And sadly, the U.S. example is becoming all too common, excused & accepted.

tip hat Orchids to Canuck Law Enforcement for showing how it should (and can) be done.

thumbs down Onions to Murkun Law Enforcement for creating, condoning & excusing repeated incidents such that which occurred in Charlottesville.
