Ten Observations of Life

 1.  A lot of us now feel a responsibility to be silent....when stupid people act-up....so they won't be offended. 

2.  We are all reaching the level of believing in ten different versions of the truth, when there used to only be one single version.

3.  If you asked a hundred people to define tyranny.....more than 70-percent of Americans would respond: (1) it's a Nova Scotia punk-rock band, (2) something to do with transsexuals', or (3) the part that connects the axle to the engine.  

4.  If people can't define a woman, or man....what's the odds they can't define freedom, logic, food-poisoning, or stupidity?

5.  I noticed recently that someone finally sat down and added up the life-long necessities for transgendering over to X or Y.  Total estimated cost?  Around $1.3-million....revolving around hormones, drugs, mental health requirements, and surgical procedures.  Just makes you ask....who is going to fund this...long-term?

6.  A regular guy/gal in 1966 probably had a circle of twenty-odd friends, from the neighborhood, church, hobbies, and work.  We are at a point today because of lifestyles, politics and inability to socialize....where that circle might be two people at best.

7.  The shock you have when you visit a typical US grocery with baby formula missing from the shelves, and the shock you have when you walk into a Mexico City grocery with fully stocked shelves.....is all pretty relative when you think about it.

8.  It is fairly odd to recognize a fair number of people spend time to explain why they 'suck' (fail) at what they do.....over and over.  While at the same time....you don't give bonus points to the points to people who work hard to avoid failures.  

9.  A lot of these Russian generals killed-in-action....will likely get WW II type medals....with text to indicate they died in action to defeat the Nazis.  Expect another war in forty years.....same trigger-cause....same invasion gimmick....same Nazi-threat, and same text used for medals.

10.  We are evolving into a society who continually requires the services of 'fact-checkers'.
