Just Observations

1. I noticed in the news that Melanie Gates (wife of Bill) wants the Covid-19 vaccine, when done, to be administered to minority people....primarily blacks, first.

It's a bit comical how she explained this, but I'm in full agreement.  Most engineers and chemists would always suggest that the first version of something is usually 'crap', and as you learn from your mistakes....you get to a safer version.  So yeah....I got no problem in letting some 'other' folks getting into the line ahead of me.

2.  Nike is reporting a $790-million loss....forty-six percent downward trend in the US.  For the remainder of 2020?  I'd expect that trend to continue for them.

3.  Some news story floating around LA....a BLM white-protest dude....apparently got hit by rubber bullets fired by the cops. Took one to the balls....and doctors were unable to save that one ball.  If you ask me....there are 10,000 reasons to avoid riots and demonstrations and this is just one of them.  Based on the picture....he's over 40, and probably should have been at work. From this point on.....work associates will remember him by 'one-ball Larry'. 

4.  Bubba Wallace did write up a noose apology of sorts.  Maybe it'd solve his problems with 5-percent of the public.  The rest are just sitting there and laughing over the hoax.

5.  How many Confederate officials were involved in riot operations over the past month?  Can you name any?

6.  Just odd....the same people who hype up on burning the Confederate flag....are the same ones who'd likely burn the US flag.

7.  Just who manufactures the Confederate flags you see?  Well...Chinese folks.  And frankly, they don't know anything about the flag, except it makes a pile of cash for them.

8. Go to a college kid or college graduate (from 20 years ago) and ask them....define Emancipators, and Abolitionists.  I'll wager you that fewer than 10-percent can give you a decent two-line explanation of either.  Why?  Ask the same kid....if there is any difference between the two (there shouldn't be). 

9.  Ever looked around for someone who fled capitalism for communism?  The only example that most can give?  Lee Harvey Oswald, except he didn't stay long, and he got shot by someone (ask people to name the shooter over Oswald....80-percent can't do it).

10.  The 'Dixie Chicks' gave up 'Dixie' in their name.  So, just 'Chicks'?  Isn't that sexist?
