Bold New World

 I sat and read through this story.....the University of Washington Law School has drafted up this idea which basically says....as a 'guest' of their school....there would be regulations to limit what you say on social media.  

I pondered over this for a while.

Who exactly would determine the list of forbidden topics?  That's not clear.  It sounds like the University law school folks would have the final say.  Who made them special?  Well....that's not clear either. 

For example....you might wake up one day, and find that discussing whores or hookers was a bad thing (thus forbidden to talk about) but slutty women was approved (thus a good thing).

Another example, you could wake up and chatting about blacks and high cholesterol was a forbidden topic, but it was ok to chat about whites and high cholesterol.  

Personally, I'd look at the situation (if I were a student) and build a secret identity with a fake moustache, $19 used wig, and a VPN that led back to Gila Bend, Arizona.   

Six months into this deal....if they finalize it....you'd probably see a thousand fake ID folks....chatting over forbidden university topics, and the university elites just grumbling that people weren't supposed to do fake identities.

What If It Came From the Lab?

 Supposed solid evidence came up and the Covid-19 virus was a 'critter' that was brought into a weapons lab, and over a two-year period....was a bio-project that kinda reached a good stage, and then 'Hu-Chung' (the bumbling clean-up guy) accidentally took some element out in the regular garbage and the virus 'escaped'.

If true....what now?

China being responsible?  Why?

The fact that Fauci and the US might have paid for part of the research?  

This is the chief problem you have at this point.....there's no punishment great enough for the 'escape' of the virus.  I'm guessing the 25 Chinese lab technicians who were around the project....have all been executed in the middle of the night.  The head of the department?  He's dead.  Probably the next three bosses above that single idiot....dead as well.

We'll spend the next decade figuring out the virus, and eventually reach a stage where you have to lick the spit off some walrus to get some kinda natural immunity, and repeat this yearly.

The Thing About 'Binges'

 Breitbart put up a story yesterday....here's this private security company that hired up a Secret Service guy as their CEO about a week after he personally handled a discreet but messy event....with Hunter Biden.

What is said is that Hunter showed up in Los Angeles....stayed at a hotel at some point in 2018, and got on a alleged drug and prostitute binge.

I sat and read over the story for a while....several times.

I kinda know what a drug binge is, and how you could be there in a fancy hotel room with a fair amount of cocaine, and really binge big time.

But then I came to a prostitute binge situation. Being from Alabama, we'd naturally say that two hours with one single hooker.....was a binge point.  

Some folks from Birmingham would say three black hookers for a 24-hour period, would be a binge point.

Some folks from Florida would say eight hours with four hookers would be a binge point.  

Some guys from NY City would say that two hookers for twelve hours....would be a binge point.  

I've known Vietnam vets who'd say that in Thailand in 1968....seven days with two hookers was a binge thing.

So, I'm kinda left wondering.....what exactly was the hooker binge level in 2018 for Hunter?

Mask Story

 I sat and read over this Epoch Times piece several times this morning.

Back around 5 Feb 2020.....our doctor doom (Dr Anthony Fauci) answered an email.

The question posed was....would the regular masks you could buy at drug and grocery stores....be adequate.

His answer?  “The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.” 

Then he added: "Those masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infections.” 

He wasn't finished.....saying “I do not recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are going to a very low risk location. Your instincts are correct, money is best spent on medical countermeasures such as diagnostics and vaccines.”

So either he is 100-percent right, or 100-percent wrong.  The countless millions spent on masks across the globe in 2020 and 2021?  

All of this begs questions, but no one will go to that level of leadership.

What is a 'Outrage Peddler'?

 Well....it's a new term that has been thrown around for the last year or two, but rarely described.  So this is my definition.

It's a guy/gal....who talks a lot, and hypes you up....to feel 'outrage' to such an extent....that you'd go and attend a protest, demonstration or vote in some wild way. 

Rush Limbaugh?  Yeah.

FDR?  Yeah.

Trump?  Yeah.

Most journalists at CNN?  Yeah.

TV ministers?  Yeah.

Cuomo, Pelosi, and Doctor Doom of Covid fame?  Yeah.

The plain blunt truth is that most of us....if outrage peddlers were not around....wouldn't be that hyped up over politics, national leadership or anything in Washington DC.

Outrage peddlers going away?  No.  If anything, the profession seems to be growing.  There are kids now (Greta) who serve as outrage peddlers.  You've got various members of the NBA or NFL....who portray themselves as outrage peddlers.  You have comedians who've dump comedy, and actively portray themselves as outrage peddlers.

Latin/Greek Discussion

 To be honest, I shouldn't care.....but it came up yesterday that the University of Princeton has dropped Latin and Greek as a language requirements classics major.  Reason?  Well....it's 'systemic racism.’

If you look around....most all universities in the US have dropped Latin/Greek in general, over the past hundred years.  It used to be a big deal....you went to a college and they mandated debate....they mandated geometry even if you were going for a degree in history....they mandated Latin, and so on.

The necessarily for Latin?  It basically goes back to knowing and understanding Roman history/culture, and how it interacts with our lives even today.  Some people will even say that it leads to linguistic problem-solving and opens your mind to true meanings of words.

Latin already gone in high schools?  If you look around.....it's down to a few private academies.  Back in the 1960s, there were around 700,000 kids in America studying Greek or Latin.....I doubt if you even get to 5,000 today.  

As for it causing systemic racism?  You might as well make the case that college basketball/football also triggers systemic racism, and end that.  Maybe even these basket-weaving classes might cause systemic racism, and you ought to end them as well.  Frankly, in general....all college is system racism, and you should just limit your educational path to air conditioning repair, plumbing, and carpentry.

So, How Much Would You Spend to Save the World?

 It's a stupid thing to discuss.

First, the world is collapsing from global warming.

President 'Joe' says we need a climate agenda.  He says only by spending trillions (not billions)....can we save the world.

A poll got done by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, where people were asked how much would pay per month....to save the world.  

First off, almost one-third of the folks in this polling said....zero.  Not even a nickel.

Then you came to roughly fifteen-percent of folks in the poll kinda said in a way that they weren't willing to go past $10 a month on saving the world.  Yeah, basically three-quarters of a case of beer was the max on which these folks were willing to spend....per month. 

So half of the folks in the polling were either giving nothing, or ten bucks.  

The poll also included this odd question....how willing are you to replace your gas-car with a battery-car (E-car).  Majority of folks (53-percent) said they had no interest.  

The odds of the Biden administration getting any gains out of this chatter?  I would have my doubts.  

If you could save the world on $8.99 a month....maybe it'd sell well.  I just have this gut-feeling that $8.99 won't cut it.  

If you just said that 75-percent of the airports in the world would close and flight activity were only limited to the well-to-do or the political class?  I'm sure that would not sell well either.

Converting everyone over to vegan, to save the world?  That's probably not going to work either.

Maybe you'd be better off to send the Chinese back to the lab to build mega-Covid-20, and try to wipe out forty-percent of the people on Earth.
