Getting Old, Killing Baby Sea Turtles, Which Lives Matter, Turning on Your Bullshit Detector, The Greatest Destroyer of Peace

"I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is 'Abortion' because it is a war against the child... A direct killing of the innocent child, 'Murder' by the mother herself... And if we can accept that a mother can kill even her child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love... And we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts..."

Happy Saturday, May 7, 2022; my computer thought it essential to insert the date after my happy Saturday, May 7, 2022, it did it again, so here you go. Thank you, magical computer, for helping me formulate my morning soup. I have no idea what we are doing today, so no predictions on that front, but I can share about my day yesterday. I worked from home and took the dog on two walks, one was shortened by rain, and the other was a nice long walk. It’s funny; one of my favorite things to do at my age is walking my dog. Is that old man stuff?

I am getting older, have three grandkids, do old guy stuff, and my wife is a grandma. I enjoy this age, I am free to do as I choose, and no one tells me what to do. If I want to take a nap, I take a nap; if I want to walk the dog, I walk the dog. I’m blessed to be at a time in life that I have the freedom to live my life as I see fit. Could that change? Maybe, but I’m putting my money on “do what Anson wants to do” until I die.

My wife worked from our office, she picked me up at 4:30, and we headed to the Dugout to meet our neighbors. We had a couple of drinks, split a pizza, came home, and watched Ozark; my goodness, what a great show. We got to bed about ten, a little later than usual, and I slept in until seven, so I got my 9 hours, my OURA tells me I’m in great shape, so I’ll use my ring from the future to assure myself things are well.

I think it interesting that you can go to prison if you kill a baby sea turtle. As a society, we put great value on sea turtles. If only we put the same value on other babies. Oh well, as we know, some lives matter more than others. Thanks, guys; I’m glad my mother and father chose to see me through my incubation period. I think it is interesting all the people clamoring for killing babies are alive.

I think Joe Rogan put it perfectly when he said there is a difference between a clump of cells and something with a beating heart and eyeballs. We must agree that that’s a baby, and it needs protection. I saw a video yesterday where many doctors and nurses were screaming, “black lives matter,” and a man asked, “what about black babies?” and they went silent.

As a society, we seem very interested in the death of a person of color when killed by a white person. But when a person of color kills another person of color, that is not news. Ask yourself why? When a baby, not “white,” is aborted, do their lives matter? Where is the consistency in the logic by some? You can’t scream my body my choice and then think it acceptable to force everyone to take a vaccine that now shows very little effectiveness.

Compliance is assured if we have learned anything from these past two years. I wrote the other day that I was embarrassed for buying into the hype and getting a vaccination. I can’t get unvaccinated and was sent a note by a friend who shared he never fell for the scam. I wonder how many people there don’t have MRNA floating around in their bodies, maybe causing an earlier death.  Dear Ministry of Truth, can you fact-check my words? Please, can you let me know if what I am sharing is information, misinformation, or disinformation? I would love to see if I am part of the problem or maybe a start of a solution.

I was on a call yesterday; we talked about staying in our lanes, how sometimes we get out of our lane, and the repercussions of that ideal. Some thought it acceptable to jump around the pool, while others leaned on the value of staying in our given or projected lanes. I think I’m a lane jumper. As one person said, “when you pee in the pool, the pee goes everywhere.”  Is it fair to say that we are nothing more than pee in a pool?

Get ready for the media to remind you we are amid a pandemic. Sure, we don’t wear masks anymore, we don’t have social distance, and if you go out, you will see humans screaming, spitting, and hugging. But the media wants you to know that “this” is not over.  The first headline on my Ground news app is “Coronavirus wave this fall could infect 1000 million administration warns.” Here’s a pro-tip, anytime you see the word “could” be suspect. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, women cannot show their faces. They say, “a burqa is best.”

I encourage you to be free and use logic and critical thinking to help you live your best life. Don’t believe everything you hear, and don’t be afraid to fact-check whether the information, misinformation, or disinformation you are told is true or untrue. Use your brain to navigate the world. There is no agreement on simple facts; men can be women, and women can be men. In Oregon, they are not putting tampon dispensers in the boy’s restrooms due to a menstrual dignity act. Can men menstruate? Well, you’ll have to figure that out on your own.

I think I’ve shared enough to get me on the radar of some, and others will shake their heads in agreement. I’m a human being, just like you. I have thoughts and ideas, and I tend to pee in the pool a lot. I trust you are using your brain to seek out what is right, wrong, and bullshit. Our bullshit detectors will be more critical in the coming days and months; trust me. The campaign to tell you black is white and white is black is underway. Be careful, be safe, and use critical thinking to guide you to the way, truth, and light.
