What about this. Why do we do this?

This blogging thing.  Why? What drives people to share their thoughts every day. Or every week. Or every two weeks?  What is the point?  How many trillions of words are generated every day? So many words. So many people. So many stories. So many lives. Ah, 'tis but vanity....

Letter to a Dead Friend

Dear Debbie, You would not believe what's going on here. It's insanity!  It's crazy!  I haven't been out of the house in over a month, except for going to the grocery store every week and to the park once or twice. Really, we all have to stay inside and wear masks when we go out and people are dying right and left and the President......omg, Debbie, I'm afraid to tell you:  The President of the United States is Donald Trump! Yes THAT Donald Trump! And he's even worse that you could imagine. I mean; Imagine the most embarrasing thing you could think of for a POTUS to do.  Got it?  This happens EVERY DAY! He comes up with a new embarrassment EVERY DAY! Every. Frikkin.' Day. For three and a half years!  So what it is is; The Coronavirus!  AKA Covid-19.  over 3 MILLION cases in the world now. And thanks to DT the US Leads The World in Cases and deaths!  Yes, it's true! Close to a third of that 3 Million is in the US. It started in Chi...

Why Do We Have Laws? (Part 1)

  Why do we have laws?  Because people would do all sorts of bad stuff to each other if we didn't. If people didn't do bad stuff to each other, we wouldn't need laws. Why don't corporations just send out people with guns to hold you up in the streets and take your money? Because there are laws against that. If there were NOT laws against it, corporations would do it. This has been their excuse for every environmental disaster, every financial scandal and every consumer safety scandal since the dawn of business.   I can explain this step by step if necessary. Corporations exist to make a profit for the owners of the corporations. Ergo, the owners of the corporations want to maximize their profits.   The corporations hire people who can help them maximize their profits.   They hire the best people they can, including lawyers and accountants who can look at legal ways to maximize their profits.   The lawyers and accountants do a fantastic...

Remember the last time you were in Heaven?

I'm serious. Think about it.   We say "Oh, I'm in Heaven!" whenever we experience and/or appreciate something delightful.   We say "They put me through Hell" when we've had a hard time with something or someone.   And we think it's just an expression, but it's really not. It's literally true.   What is Heaven but something joyous?   What is Hell but something horrible?   The feeling you get the first time you really look deeply into your child's eyes and see that they recognize you. That's Heaven.   That time you and your best friend made each other laugh so hard you couldn't stand up, so hard the tears rolled down your cheeks and you couldn't stop and it hurt so good.   That's Heaven.   I'm sure you have more. I do. Plenty. The more I think about it, the more I find.   Everyone has these moments. These are the times you slip into Heaven.   I'm not going to bother with ...
