When people lose all sense & Sensibility... And decide they can post anything on the blogs? Where is the line drawn? People attack other people, we lose our kindness and common sense. We talk about intimate s*xual details of our private life and of course, there is just plain stupidity....I will be back later to hear your comments. Thank you.

I ask this as a simple exchange of ideology.
In the western world, the idea of eating cat or dog or insects and rodents is considered out of the norm.
Ask 99.9 percent of the population here if they would eat a cat or a dog and they will turn green and want to vomit.
What most people do not realize is it was actually quite common for dog and cat to be consumed in the America's long before white people invaded.
Native tribes have been known to eat Dogs and puppies and large cat (mountain lion) it was a staple of their diet and the norm during hard times.
I have actually eaten cat and dog and do not find them to be terrible tasting at all except dog is a bit greasy and grainy to me.
Cat I have found the meat texture to be a cross between chicken and rabbit with a slightly sweet taste.
Now I know I will get people complaining and saying snarky and rude shit on this in comments but let me ask this do you complain to the Hindu for not eating cow or the Muslim for not eating pork?
In the long run what is more important that cherished family pet or staying alive with a full stomach.
Now there will be people on here that will say I would never I would rather starve these are the people that have never truly been hungry in their life.
So the general and original question stands have we as a society gone so far that we empathize with our food in an unhealthy way?
Can anyone here logically and intelligently say why it is wrong to eat a cat or a dog other than their feelings?
Or have you all lived the hype of civilization so long that you have lost connection with your primal self?
The world even in this day and age is a horrid place if you do not believe me then look at India they still have leprosy there.
So have you been Americanized by your television by what others tell you is unacceptable?
Have you succumbed to the idea that everyone can afford to run to the corner market and buy their daily bread?
Would you eat your cherished fido if it meant living would you feed it to your children if it meant they lived or would you say oh don't worry sweetie mommy/daddy will figure it out while they die and their stomach distends?
Food for thought

Lots of products are sold by weight, but I'm finding some are sold by wait. In that, the things in demand that have a long time are priced by how long it takes to receive. They are sold by wait.

I'd only eat the brains of collegiate educated Scorpio's and Pisces. Cuz those I've metaphorically licked (so far)
have been the tastiest. Mmmm

Awwww …. One of my most favorite signs of spring is upon us … the hummingbirds arrived this morning at the feeders and are busy about getting stocked back up on their sugar water. I was starting to get a bit concerned since they usually would arrive about middle of this past month, but then again we’ve been having some terrific storms along their migratory root so all is forgiven!

Funny how I notice these sorts of things now days when it made little to no difference to me in earlier years. I suppose it’s just another sign of ageing or perhaps, now that I’m no longer a card carrying member of the rat race, I have a little more time to notice what which is truly important. Along with the birds, feral cats, wild turkey, rabbits, deer of course, the occasional skunk the parade through the property has resumed. I can predict the time of day simply by looking out the window to see who is on their way in or out of the large woods behind my house. This year there have been considerably more rabbits than in years gone by. Yesterday, out of the corner of my eye I noticed one, then two, then five and before it was all over I counted 22 of the critters scrambling over open ground, avoiding the many red tailed hawks that seem to be circling on a daily basis.

I suppose it’s these things, my garden and a few friends I see each day at breakfast that have eased the pain of being an elder orphan. I’ve been offered a few jobs over the past year, but each would essentially require me to move to another city in a different state and start all over again. I do enjoy the challenge, but now days the risk is a bit more than I care to endure. What good is a great job when the place you live isn’t as great so why take the chance? Again, another sign of the times …. A tiny bit of fear for the unknown.

But, thankfully, more of my friends have returned, on wing, to amuse me with their acrobatics and their antics. It seems to be the smaller things in life now that I’m most thankful for … I just hope I never forget that!

Sports are awesome because they are
completely unpredictable. For an example: use the stereotypical Star Trek or Futurama geek. How many times do they watch the same episodes over and over ?
Do you watch a game over & over? Hell, if someone tells you the score & you've pvr'd the game, you're pissed! It's the unpredictability, the drama.
You have to be left & right brained to be an analytical person & a sports fan. Because you have some emotion, unpredictability, things that aren't really related to logic & reason... though when you understand sports
deeply, you can use logic & reason to predict outcomes, ie bookmakers.


I blame a friend of mine that wrote scripts. He use to bounce a lot of his idea's on me & ask for my perspective. Now when I think about TV or movies... We spoke about & somehow I have a certain insight now. I've learned some tricks of the trade & now I watch things that are scripted & it ruins it for me as I can usually guess what is going to happen. But with sports, even if you know what's going to happen, there's always the human element. Some people like reinforcement in their comfort zone. I want to be challenged. I enjoy being surprised.

Like most issues in America, this one will have many people on both sides of the debate, but here is one where compromise is possible even though neither side is going to be entirely happy. I can still remember as a very young child, my parents with my two older sisters walking over to our local school to stand in a very long line in order to each take that little sugar cube with the pink dot on top. It was one of the first polio vaccine’s. I also remember the little girl in a wheelchair. Her arms and legs were so tiny and my mom told me to hush when I ask why she was so small. Her parents were crying so much because the nurse told them that sugar cube was not a cure for polio and would not do anything for their daughter. I also remember that later that year my father telling me that little girl had died.

Most young parents these days have no idea what it is like to be so desperately afraid of an invisible bug that could strike their children down, rob them of their every bit of energy, and eventually kill them … and there is nothing that can be done, no amount of money that can buy back their health. They simply do not know until maybe now. I remember having measles. I was seven years old and it was terrible. Mine seemed to itch and scratch terribly. I remember my mom sitting with me all day long and telling me not to scratch or it would leave me full of scars. She put calamine lotion on me, soaked me in cool baths, just anything she could think of to keep me from digging at my skin.

I know my parents insisted I get every vaccine as a child as I did for my own kids as they were growing up. It was just common sense because we knew the diseases were something to be genuinely afraid of and we were absolutely afraid of that. There was no mention of downs syndrome or anything like that.

Over the years, especially in recent history, there have been a lot of allegations about vaccine’s, about aluminum in antiperspirants and a great many similar things. Often the claims have been incredible boarding on paranoia with each story more sensational than the next. The press is all too happy to publish all of this mess and play devils advocate with so many “what if they are right” stories. Sadly, as each of these claims has been proven to be nothing more than groundless claims, the press seems to forget the importance of publishing those facts. All for the sake of selling more newspapers, more advertising, the never ending chase for the almighty dollar, and in the end it is the public that is fooled and poorly served.

Adding to the hysteria is a government that has so completely lost the trust of the American people, that nobody is likely to believe any information coming from it. The CDC can’t keep up with their own deadly pathogens so how could they possibly know anything about vaccines? One bit of ill will begets another and in the long run it will be we, the citizens, that lose out.

Perhaps this outbreak is a hidden blessing. Perhaps it will take hundreds of children dying in order to wake up so many poorly informed parents and maybe in the long run it will make more parents actually do their own research rather than believe that over opinionated idiot next door that has only opinions and no sound advice. Unfortunately it will be the innocents, the children that will pay the price. And what a price to pay, all for the purpose of waking up parents that were not prepared for parenthood and all that comes with it.

1. Why does one photo from behind show the man on the road is not handcuffed and the video from the front that he is handcuffed?
2. Why is the cop car in the restaurant surveillance video different than the one Floyd was lying behind (different car numbers)?
3. Why were the cops in the surveillance footage that arrested him different than the police in the actual incident?
4. Why does the video show the diesel fuel price as 99 cents instead of the regular price in the area of $2.49?
5. Why does the Police Car have a non-Municipal license plate with "Police" on it?
6. Why does Derek have a completely different police badge on top of a second police badge matching his partner's if they work for the same precinct?
7. Why is it not odd that both Officers Tou Thao and Derek Chauvin have both previously been investigated for excessive use of force and not charged by State AG Amy Klobuchar?
Additionally, Officer Derek Chauvin is married to his partner's sister Kelli.
8. Is there any cop dumb enough to continue kneeling on someone’s neck for 8 minutes when surrounded by people and being video recorded?
9. Is it possible for the deceased’s cousins and fiancé to be completely tearless during interviews?
10. Why does the main cop have one hand in his pocket most of the time he’s kneeling?
11. Why did the kneeling officer appear completely cool and calm, as if he was posing for the camera?
12. Doesn’t it seem strange that Floyd and the officer that kneeled on his neck worked security together on the same shift at the El Nuevo Rodeo Club, the officer for 17 years (both were laid off because of the Covid Virus)?
13. Why do the neighbors of this officer say they didn’t know he was a cop and never saw him in uniform?
14. Why has the same attorney been hired as with all the other big supposed police killings of blacks? Attorney Benjamin Crump. The same attorney that worked on previous cases that resulted in busses bringing in rioters from outside the city?
15. Why does store surveillance video show Floyd calmly and submissively walking with the officer and not resisting arrest while the officer gently allowed him to sit down on the side walk, and multiple officers calmly chatting with him? Is this the kind of suspect that a police officer would feel the need to put on the ground and place his knee on his neck
16. Why did the EMT workers (wearing Police Uniforms including bullet proof vests) roughly handle and dump the unconscious George on the stretcher? This is not how trained emergency workers lift a person with a possible neck injury. Why did they not attempt triage or try CPR?
17. Can someone really not breath when someone kneels on his neck and is the victim really able to speak for considerable periods of time if he can’t breathe?
18. Post killing: Why is a white man that looks like an undercover (St Paul) cop in black and a riot gear mask carrying a black umbrella walking around breaking windows (and others dressed similarly starting fires) and instigating a riot? Is this reminiscent of “umbrella man” during the JFK shooting?
19. Why were almost all the rioters leading the destruction of the neighborhood at the beginning of the riots “white” and not from Minneapolis... in a black neighborhood after a police killed a black man?
20. Why did the Chief of Police make it a point that those Inciting the Riots and Arsonists were not from Minnesota?
21. Why was a CNN News Crew not only detained but also Arrested?

What did I miss?
