Diogenes comments on Jun 3, 2021:

In a world where reality stands, whether we like it or not, there needs to be a fact check. The big fish eat the little fish- 'so if we kill all the big fish', is not the answer. If there are starving people, eating eggs disturbs no thinking persons ethics or morals. An unattended hen will sit on an unfertilized egg till it rots. I have heard of people who have collected eggs, and then let the hens live a natural, long life. Even though I don't eat meat- I will never lose site of reality and join some weird cult. Ursi, I agree with you. There are some fantastic meals made with just veggies and spices. I do a good job in the kitchen occasionally- but I also have an inverse talent - I can burn water😁.

Interesting way to put it, & actually totally valid...

A valid quote from Roberts; that puts religion into perspective. One must give inventive credit to the Hebrews and the Christians when they invented the invisible god-dude that only the 'righteous' can visualize. The other gods, made of such material as stone and wood could be dismantled. I have wondered if Hans Christian Anderson ever had a dislike for his middle name. In his writing in the 1850s of the Emperor's New Cloths he trashed religious belief. Only the so-called 'enlightened' could see the cloth that wasn't there. It took a kid to say, "Hey, the dude is sitting there bare assed." ( yes, I am crude) When the Pope talks to god-dude, he is putting on a clown show- for all the world to see.

Diogenes comments on May 9, 2021:

The subject of my missive should have been mentioned at the start, not second sentence from the bottom. It is still "reality" in all its forms. Some times the cure is worse than the original problem. #1, the Hoover Dam was built for Hydro electric, and water usage, now there are problems with lack of water in other areas. #2 Dump has said, lock downs are worse than the virus, which of course is a lie. Dead business people don't do business, and dead customers don't buy goods or services---- EVER! Not even Dump, could have changed that reality. He did get his shots--- in secret, of course. Now back to what dogs eat. #3. Yes, some animals are very big and strong- and are herbivores. That is fantastic. To some, it is a problem that dogs eat other animals. So when feeding them something that Nature never intended, they may die at an early death. There,clearly, is the problem!

The last act of defiance. 😆
