My 2020 Election Post

 As I've mentioned previously, I avoid politics and religion on social media. I prefer to share my amazing dogs and an occasional school related post.

But here on my blog, I'll express my views. I take no offense if you disagree, but I make no apologies for my opinions. Feel free to comment, but I won't respond.

Here is my 2020 Election Post:


"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." 

1st Corinthians 13:4


 "...clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience."

Colossians 3:12


"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another."

Ephesians 4:32



"Forget everything I said 2000 years ago. 

Brag incessantly about your greatness. 

Treat women as objects and brag about your ability to grab them by the $%^$*#. 

Mock the disabled in front of thousands of cheering supporters.

Threaten to lock up those who disagree with you.

Call those who nobly serve their country "losers" and "not so great," even those who have risen to high levels of leadership over lifetimes of service, and even tried to serve with integrity under your own leadership.

Call those who were captured and tortured in the service of their country "not a hero," even as you avoided service to your country yourself.

Consort with and admire other leaders who oppress their citizens and who assassinate those who speak out against them

Let your speech be filled with hyperbole and outright falsehoods.

Take credit for things that others accomplished and blame others for your own failures.

Mock those who spend years studying and researching for the betterment of humanity.

Take no concern for the environment of the world I created for you.

Disregard the rules imposed by local authorities and health facilities as you promote your own agenda.

But most importantly, appoint conservative judges who will overturn a previous ruling that prevented states from outlawing abortion. For if you do this, nothing else matters. It is for the one and only greater good. I really don't care how you behave otherwise. The fact that even if this ruling is overturned, abortion will still be legal in many states throughout your country not withstanding, and the fact that my people seem more obsessed with changing the law than with changing the hearts and minds of people and the circumstances that lead to unwanted pregnancies not withstanding, and the fact that over the past two decades the number of abortions in your country has decreased dramatically without the help of judges not withstanding, still, if you will appoint these judges you may rule in the land, and mock, and belittle and brag, and lie, and benefit your businesses at the government's expense, and grab $%^$*# all you want. For the ends shall always justify the means."

21st Century Bible: 1:1


"If you can't behave that way in my classroom, you can't behave that way in the Whitehouse."

Jayverbs: 1:6


"Our children are always watching. They value what we admire."

Jayverbs: 1:7


*I am affiliated with a political party that is neither Democrat nor Republican. Until four years ago, I was registered as a Republican. I could not in good conscience continue that party affiliation.

Europa

Europa is the smallest of Jupiter's four major (Galilean) moons.  As best we can tell it is covered by a thick icy surface that shields a large liquid saline salt water ocean from Jupiter's lethal radiation. Plumes of water that escape the icy surface would indicate subsurface geological activity, and thus a source of heat for Europa's ocean. Why does this matter? It means that, based on what we know about Europa, and about microscopic life's ability to thrive in similar environments here on Earth, Jupiter's moon could theoretically harbor life. And, if it did, it would, ironically, be another step like the ones that got Galileo in hot water (and house arrest) with the ruling religious authorities of his day. It would be one more small step for mankind toward the realization that the universe does not revolve around human beings. In the story of civilization thus far, we have written ourselves into the lead roles, the main characters. We are why everything else i...

They're Only Words, and Words Are All I Have

If you don't recognize the title of this blog, review your ancient Bee Gee's history. "Choose your words wisely." - Traditional "Think before you speak." - Traditional "The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil."  - Biblical proverb "Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity." - Biblical proverb "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt." - attributed to Abraham Lincoln, and others “Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” - Benjamin Franklin “He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.” - Confucius “Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.” - Plato           I have always had a great respect and ad...
