I like it. That’s cool for Gun controlled Finland. My personal space begins at the muzzle of my 9mm. Being a N.J. resident, you probably don’t have either choice available.
Balderdash! We agree on a lot. You’ve made some good posts about this. But then you finish it off with condescension and ruin it. And I have to teach you.
You can be negative if you want to. It’s not the American Way. Did Churchill or ■■■■ head Roosevelt ever go on and on about millions of casualties? Show me one of their speeches where they discussed the “exponentiallity” of dead soldiers. Where they spoke about millions of wounded next month.
I had a preacher one time. Smartest one I ever saw. He was working on PhDs in theology and psychology. He preached at a very high level and I really enjoyed it.
The congregation wasn’t there for that.
Your reality is not everybody else’s reality. Nor is it the only reality, despite what you have been led to believe. And the truth is it mostly isn’t even reality at all, it is a potential result, one of many. And it is extrapolated to predict the future, something you cannot do.
You don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less 2 weeks from now. You just think you do because you have an algorithm on a spread sheet. Human beings are not mathematical equations. There are a gazillion possible outcomes to any situation involving humans. You are picking one.
And unless you are the new Secretary of Parade Pissing, I don’t see how it’s your job to force your reality on anybody else.
We could all wake up dead tomorrow. We could all wake up perfectly fine tomorrow. Or anything in between. It’s not up to us.
