The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The one who walks alone is likely to find themselves in places no one has ever been before.” Albert Einstein ...........

Take a very good look and understand this not with your mind but with your heart and soul

I saw a video tonight with a woman throwing a temper tantrum at the airline ticket booth. That's one problem to itself. The other problem is she was wearing bedroom slippers.
I'll wager that airlines have listed what can and cannot be worn when attempting to board a plane and it wouldn't surprise me if wearing flip-flops, thin lace-up sandals or bedroom slippers makes it to that list. Passenger comfort is one thing, setting yourself up for failure is another.
The movable ramp that leads to the plane often has carpeted flooring and a good place to catch your shoe when there is a height difference from adjoining sections and I recall one woman had her sandal catch and break off as she boarded the plane. Her other shoes were in he luggage probably in the belly of the plane waiting to take off. Think ahead lady.

People don't consider panic and 'push-comes-to-shove' crowd situations. They are probably the ones who complain their freedoms are being taken away when that are forced to wear closed toe shoes. That's a cousin to wearers of tank-top shirt...

When I was at junior school, we used to buy bubble gum that came with picture cards. The ones I remember were a series about World War 2, Mars Attacks and the American Civil War. Some of the pictures were very gory, many of them depicting scenes of extreme violence. Such images would certainly not be sold to children nowadays, although, strange as it might seem, being exposed to them neither caused anyone any trauma nor produced any homicidal maniacs in later life.

The American Civil War series is the one I remember most clearly. In the little pack would be a flat, square piece of pink bubble gum, several picture cards and a pretend US bank note. The subject of the American Civil War certainly captured our schoolboy imaginations for the duration of their being on sale. For the playground bullies, they were like a gift from the gods. They would run up to some defenceless little soul and demand to know if he was “Union or Confederate”. There was no way of knowing where the bully’s allegiance lay, and if yours happened not to coincide with it, there were consequences. I don’t remember exactly what the consequences were, but I’m pretty sure it involved a measure of being roughed up.

New Law Requires You To Listen To Greta Thunberg Lecture Before Purchasing Gasoline

October 7th, 2019
U.S.—A series of new bills working their way through state legislatures in New York, California, Oregon, Hawaii, and several other progressive states will require you to listen to a Greta Thunberg lecture before purchasing gasoline.

Motorists will be required to watch a 20-minute lecture by the 16-year-old climate activist before they purchase gallons and gallons of harmful fossil fuels.

"We want to make sure drivers are informed," said California Governor Gavin Newsom, who says he will sign the bill into law. "So we are having them get lectured by a 16-year-old so they will have all the facts before they do something rash like put gasoline in their cars to go to work."

Once the driver has listened to Thunberg's entire lecture, they will be prompted to complete a quick, fifteen-question quiz to show they understand how horrible they are for driving a car. Drivers who get at least 80% will then be allowed to refuel their vehicles. As they refuel, the screen will simply play a clip of Thunberg saying, "How dare you!" over and over again.

The law will not apply to celebrities purchasing jet fuel.

...for American liberals. Behind Boris' mandate victory lies a philosophy of belief in ourselves, beginning with the Founding Fathers (no girlies need apply), and extending to Ronaldo Magnus, and now our MAGA Brilliant President Trump. Anathema to the racist political pandering pols of all but the most justified and temporary welfare/dole handouts, it's a core life philosophy for folks who are really honest about such beliefs. Indeed, voters in the English former industrial north, now increasingly with cities resembling our own democrat ruled failed metropolises, were a big force in this election of a conservative---they had voted left for generations up until now. Oye como va, o mis campesinos. Rising crime, government over-regulation, PC, vanishing middle and lower class jobs, food pantries, homeless shelters, runaway inflation, decreasing adjusted incomes, porous borders making it all worse,-----anyone seen any of the same here, at least until the last 3 years? So now this British conservative mandate is also a mandate for a quick Brexit, finally honoring the will of the voters there. If you wonder why the distaste for capricious rule by unelected ueber lib bureaucrats in Brussels, and what the liberals here have always planned for the USA, try to spend a few leisurely afternoons sauntering about in Chicago, or LA. Just be sure to be carrying a pair of Glock nines, and extra clips.

I don't care for a f*cking bra picture or bikini shot, but all this public allowed violence is a bit much.
