No Mic. The collateral damage was the over 500,000 dead, because the president before Biden cut the pandemic response team, did not follow the pandemic guide program, and denied that there was a problem, as well as promoted falsehoods and unproven treatments.
Interesting. The lack of frets plus the way the string spacing progressively widens as the length progresses is more similar to an upright bass. However, the string diameter is more guitar than bass. It seems like an almost extinct primordial instrument along the path of bass evolution.
"Force" ??? Some people make mistakes. But those mistakes are not forced. They are mistakes in choosing procedure and what is most important. They are errors in judgement. Hopefully, they learn from those mistakes and become better.
Unfortunately prejudice has been a part of American culture for the small-minded. However, it festered and erupted under the rhetoric and terrible leadership of the past administration. Hopefully, it sparked outrage for change and that will receive follow-through so the healing begins. Regretfully, that won't bring back the lives lost. But, perhaps it will reduce the future occurrence in the long run.
c - I see people as individuals. There are good & bad people, who are white and there are good and bad people who are black and there are good and bad people who are Asian. Most people are not perfect, and most people are not extremists. However, extremists do exist also. People should be judged by their individual behavior, not their skin color. Skin color is merely differences in melanin pigmentation. It's not important, except in cases of severe sun exposure. People fear what they do not understand.
I understand that c. My question regards after all those projects are finished. You mentioned seeking another job while working your current job. Do you plan to fully retire, or work elsewhere, AFTER all those projects for your current employer are finished ? Or are you unsure ?
What may be out of reach for one, may be well within reach for another. It involves different perspectives. Mankind has learned much since the bible was written and since religions and naive beliefs were established. Knowledge has greatly expanded, however, some have not embraced that knowledge, and instead adhered to ancient beliefs founded upon more limited knowledge and understanding. Despite all that has transpired, they cling to those ancient beliefs as it comforts them, much like children are comforted by nursery rhymes and belief in Santa. Of course, that is their choice. However, do not assume what is intellectually out of reach for another person because it is out of reach for you. That limitation may be intrinsic for you, but may not accurately be applied to another. At some point in development most children lose belief in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and other similar beliefs. However, often out of fear, many cling to other beliefs that are just as ridiculous to others. Again, their choice.
M - actually it simplifies things. All parties are relaxed, comfortable and willing, when available. When the message is received and confirmed, there's no mystery as to where it will lead.
E - it certainly seems that way. Of course, justice includes the ability to examine all the evidence and a verdict will not be reached until all is examined and carefully weighed.
I have no wife, if that is what you are asking M. I have 2 ex-girlfriends, who have subscribed to a friends with benefits program. It's a great program !
While I don't disagree with that, the crime is not for being a moron. There's something far more important, than the lack of intelligence of the defendants.
RE: Dad's Home
That's terrific news. Glad that it is working out, so he can be home.
