1. I'd dump January, February and March primaries. I'd have a brief six week 'fun-packed' primary period starting in late April and ending by early June.
2. I'd mandate a national ID card (issued by Social Security)....free of charge, and required to vote. No ID? No vote.
3. Some kind of mental/physical check of candidates (even down to county commission seats).
I paused over the amount of security going on (especially in California).
My old three-hours browse? Well....with these conditions....it'd probably add at least two additional hours onto a simple trip.
But here's the thing....if you really peeved me off and wasted that much time....I'd probably lessen my shopping trip. I might even just go to Amazon and order 'stuff'....rather than walking into a store.
So this brings me to the consequences of this added security business. I think in three to five years....more than half of the brick-and-mortar stores in America will shut down.
We probably will not realize it until the damage has been completed.
Almost 70-percent of Republicans (remember, it's a GOP Caucus only) said 'NO'.
CNN journalists? I get the impression that they are a bit peeved. They've done everything possible to stamp out the questions.
If they had gone to include non-Republicans? With the exception of metropolitan zones....I think 20-percent of them would probably agree....there's problems with the 2020 vote-count.
This triggering people to be more skeptical? That really is the whole landscape....it runs across various topics now.
ABC TV news went out last week and polled folks.
What they said? "Just 28% think that President Biden has the mental sharpness to effectively serve for another term."
I pondered over this. Who were the 28-percent?
So you start with 100 folks:
- 16 of the 100 are probably 80 and older....seeing nothing wrong with President Biden's behavior.
- 12 of the 100 are probably on serious medical-cannabis use.
- 13 of the 100 are brain-damaged folks....from farm-accidents, NFL football and combat action.
- 32 are woke-enthusiasts.
- 2 are probably dead (still registered to vote).
- And the remaining folks just want to see a crazy old guy do crazy stuff daily.
Back in the old days...meaning when Greeks were supreme race on Earth, and were contributing vast amounts of knowledge....they had a habit of inventing 'Gods'.
I won't say that it was a big deal or discussed that much. You needed to have some element of 'protection' and you had a list of Gods created (in the fictional sense) to correct the woes that you ran into.
One of the more interesting Gods that the Greeks created....was Dionysus.
Dionysus was a unique creation. He served around 7 purposes:
1. When you needed entertainment or humor....he was the God of theater. You'd pray to him for singing, a good laugh, or stoic words of inspiration.
2. When you needed top-class wine-making.....he was the God of wine production.
3. When harvest came up for apples or pears....he was the God of orchard harvest.
4. When things seemed dull, and you needed some crazy stuff to happen....he was the God that you generally sought.
5. When you needed hot passionate lust stuff....he was the God to deliver. I should note....in those days without a bunch of chatter or woke-stuff...LGBTQ-stuff just occurred along with 300-odd fetishes, and everyone seemed happy.
6. When the yearly ritual talk started up....he was the God you sought hope for a successful ritual or party.
7. Finally, when you coupled up with some Greek gal and hoped for a kid or two....yeah, he was the God that you had quiet discussions with.
I'm not saying Dionysus was a guaranteed thing....just that people seemed to believe in things not accidentally occurring.
Level of position? Unknown. Manager-status? Unknown. Security clearance? Unknown. People with a IQ of 85 or below? Unknown. People with paranoid schizophrenia, or having invisible friends? Unknown.
The problem I see....people tend to have a level of trust in the FAA (like it used to be with the FBI or National Forest Service). If you said that 300 FAA employees will exist in the future....with some 'Forest Gump' label/status....I doubt that trust will be maintained.
But this begs the question....why couldn't the CIA, US Army, Border Patrol, or Secret Service....hire up intellectual misfits (maybe even with a PhD) or psychiatric disabled people? Why can't the House/Senate mandate at least one or two members of their crowd fit into this category? Why can't we get a President who is mentally disabled?
It just seems like something bad is going to evolve out of this....where you'd advance far in life....if you had a FAA job and had an imaginary friend.
So one night....science chatter started up in the room....we are all mostly Air Force folks working on a degree unrelated to science (yeah, kinda forced into the course, for degree purposes), and the topic of science constantly evolving or changing was coming up.
The professor (smart gal but strongly attached to digging up dinosaur crap)....more or less admitted that about 10-percent of science wasn't really fact-based or proven....it was just a best guess situation. She wasn't claiming it was hoax-stuff or BS....just that people looked at something and best guess #1.....was fact until proven wrong.
As she noted....some fields....it was worse than other fields. In the dinosaur business....she kinda hinted it might be closer 50-percent made-up.
So when Fauci stood up and said that the 6-foot rule for Covid might not be based on science...I pondered upon this.
Personally, I always questioned how this came up. Germans for example....said 1-meter (3.2 ft) was good enough. How you could easily this distance....well....just hold your arm straight out. But if you asked a German doctor where this idea came from....they would mostly grin.
Looking back four years ago....it's amazing what people accepted as fact, and how some people just refused to participate.
This brings me back to the professor and wondering....maybe I should have gone off into science, and gotten a PhD....then just made up a lot of BS facts. How much could I have gotten away with?
