Political thoughts... 014*

1) What kind of society kills fetuses and has compassion for drug addicts? 

2) Can you believe these Congressional “representatives” are going to collect a lifetime 6 figure pension for their work? 

3) Mayor Pete consensually allows another male to squirt seminal fluid into his anal canal. I don’t like his decision making abilities. 

4) Democratic Party – a small group of millionaires and a large group of welfare recipients. 

5) Chicago needs a Special Prosecutor to indict Jussie Smollett for filing a false police report, the Democratic elected official to do that job refuses to prosecute anyone, for just about anything. 

6) I smell another Bernie heart attack coming on. 

7) I don’t see a single citizen with housing open their doors and welcome a homeless stranger to live in their home. Why is that? 

8) “You’re a lying, dog-faced pony soldier.” Wow. 

9) With much gratitude, I say, I am so glad I didn’t book Corona Cruise Lines. 

10) People forget, but FDR spun 180 on almost every aspect of the New Deal in his second term. It was all war business that began after that election.

Social Solution... 001*

'HOMELESSNESS'

I was watching a YouTube video featuring Ellen Lee Zhou (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmJGwZZBfug).  She is a declared candidate in the upcoming race for San Francisco mayor.  She made the statement that the current mayor, London Breed, wants to create 'clean spaces' so drug addicts can inject themselves in a sterile, safe environment. I was aghast at the misplaced empathy, but I have come to develop a further idea, one that I present as a social solution of a problem causing extreme hardship in America, and West Coast cities in particular.

Any musician not affiliated with The Eagles of Los Angeles, CA should be banned from attempting another lame version of the song Hotel California. Recently, while in the audience of another insufferable rendition, listening to the demonic, horror film lyrics backed by out of tune sloppy, guitar work, they gamely got the the part of the song that says, "You can check in, but you can never leave." That got me to thinking...

Whether it's you or society as a whole, a problem can never be solved unless it is properly named.  I, for example, don't use the description of those  unsheltered residents by the river as 'homeless'.  I prefer 'drug addicts'.  If I meet a 'homeless' person, I ask them, "Why are you hanging around with drug addicts?" 

Suppose Mayor Breed opens a Hotel.  Any drug addict can find shelter, if and only if, they supply their vital information, their nearest kins' address and phone and if they designate where to send or what to do with their remains.  While at the Hotel, they are provided all the Meth, crack cocaine, opioid of choice - unlimited and free.  There will be no hand holding social workers or police or paramedics on site.  All you want, for as long as you want, until you are dead.  You will not be returning to a public space.

I can't see any abortion supporter being put-out by such a suggestion.  Please, do not use the sanctity of human life argument.  These people with their own free will come through the entrance.  That can't be said of an aborted fetus, no matter what stage of embryonic life. We are simply giving the drug addict what they want.  Stay and enjoy - leave horizontal and cold.

This could work.

A breakthrough may lie in the hands of a Hollywood actor. Where the collective prowess of the oil industry has failed, Kevin Costner believes he may succeed after paying scientists millions of dollars to come up with an ocean-cleaning device — inspired by his 1995 film Waterworld — that could mitigate the environmental catastrophe.

Besides the chronically homeless, comprising about 18% of the total, homelessness results from factors including poverty, job loss, home foreclosure, loss of public assistance, divorce, domestic violence, drug or alcohol abuse, serious illness, mental illness, unaffordable housing, the lack of emergency help, and a federal government that doesn't give a damn.

The US position is that the biggest nuclear threat in the world today comes from those who do not have nuclear weapons, or whose nuclear armory is diminutive to the point of invisibility, and that global security is properly vested in the hands of those who have substantial nuclear arsenals, starting with the only country that has actually dropped nuclear bombs—and indeed lost them (eleven in the case of the United States since 1945).
