Some thoughts on the trans movement, and I'm pretty sure “movement” is the right word.

DenoPenno comments on Apr 7, 2024:

Whatever trans is I'm sure it is not just a fad and it will not go away. It cannot be changed or "prayed away." With that said, we had all best be learning just exactly what this means and deal with it in a rational way. I have recently discovered people called "intersex" and they are in between male and female. This is a real thing and they are born this way. A UK person called Blume can tell all about it on You Tube as she is one.

A part of me wants to live in the past. I use phones that recharge in a cradle just like 20 years ago. Many of my movies and TV show choices are just the same. I see people in my programs waking up to a clock that looks exactly like mine. Another part of me knows that I do not think the same as I did last month or even last year. Thoughts should change and beliefs at least be open for modification. I'm a social person but also a recluse. Many commercial ads I do not understand and do not want to understand. I'm still not sure what "woke" is.

DenoPenno comments on Mar 31, 2024:

Yes, we know it's crazy. I recently got a phone call from my pharmacist who wanted to know if I still take Metformin. This is most likely coz she saw that my doctor's nurse had wanted to update my medicine and called me in something that would cost $142 a month. I came unglued and told everyone that I am in control of my medication. I am in no way in the control of a doctor and I discuss things before taking them. No way in hell would I ever pay $142 per month for something. Updating my medication in my opinion translates into "let's pay the developers of this newer medication."

You never know with a person like Soto. He may be nuts or wanting some sort of care or something. If he goes for psychiatric care or even a prison sentence who can ever say he is cured. Would anybody believe it? Then there is enough in this for religion to get involved and and claim they have cast out his demons. The only way I would ever trust a man like that is to find out he had something wrong with his brain and it was fixed by surgery.

Exactly true here is the fact that Trump has never read the bible or the Constitution. The horror is that so many will believe this conman and give him money to get his bible version. His followers are so dumb that they refuse what his ghost writer for The Art Of The Deal has to say about him. Like everything else it must be "fake news." Then his followers or those that may vote for him declare "he tells it like it is." I must stop writing now coz I'm getting sick.

It is impossible to be moral on your own. Zeus is your moral compass. Depending on where we are in history you may substitute any other god of your choice. Well certainly you don't believe that our morals come from the society that we live in do you? Well, do you?
