When I took the "rich homes on the water" tour in. Ft Lauderdale...I came to a shocking realization; those rich folk were more stressed out...more just "not well" or "not happy" people than you ordinary folk. Lots of "smokers". Lots of people "embarrassed" that "ordinary folk" were touring to "look at them". I came to the realization that being rich is the result of an "addiction" to greed - and those "addicts" were not happy people. Now greed isn't a bad addiction. Nothing to snort, smoke, nor shoot. Clever greed addicts don't even have to use their own money. Your family loves the greed addiction, but fear/loath the drug addiction. But it is an addiction. You do suffer "withdrawal symptoms" if you're suddenly "without" your fix of cash flow. So I've learned not to count to a billion, nor envy billionaires...or even millionaires. They're suffering.

Yes! I concur 100% It looks like either Sanders,Biden, or Bloomberg will win the nomination. So let's lay out the VP and Cabinet choices NOW. From Mr. Friedman's article; “I want people to know that if I am the Democratic nominee these will be my Cabinet choices — my team of rivals. I want Amy Klobuchar as my vice president. Her decency, experience and moderation will be greatly appreciated across America and particularly in the Midwest. I want Mike Bloomberg (or Bernie Sanders) as my secretary of the Treasury. Our plans for addressing income inequality are actually not that far apart, and if we can blend them together it will be great for the country and reassure markets. I want Joe Biden as my secretary of state. No one in our party knows the world better or has more credibility with our allies than Joe. I will ask Elizabeth Warren to serve as health and human services secretary. No one could bring more energy and intellect to the task of expanding health care for more Americans than Senator Warren." He continues to name nearly all the candidates we've seen... "“I want Kamala Harris for attorney general. She has the toughness and integrity needed to clean up the corrupt mess Donald Trump has created in our Justice Department. I would like Mayor Pete as homeland security secretary; his intelligence and military background would make him a quick study in that job. I would like Tom Steyer to head a new Cabinet position: secretary of national infrastructure. We’re going to rebuild America, not just build a wall on the border with Mexico. And I am asking Cory Booker, the former mayor of Newark, to become secretary of housing and urban development. Who would bring more passion to the task of revitalizing our inner cities than Cory?" ...and he even goes on to name the former challenger to Obama, Mitt Romney - to fill a position. “I am asking Mitt Romney to be my commerce secretary. He is the best person to promote American business and technology abroad — and it is vital that the public understands that my government will be representing all Americans, including Republicans. And last, but not least; Andrew Yang! " I would like Andrew Yang to be energy secretary, overseeing our nuclear stockpile and renewable energy innovation. He’d be awesome." WOW!

Put yourself out there. Post lots of pics. Be honest and open....talk about your good and not-so-good features. That way you'll be contacted by those who aren't in a hurry to meet. You're sharing who you are with images and a detailed bio....so this will allow more selectivity. Say that you insist on taking your time. Warn potentials that "being in a hurry is a turn-off" - then you'll get the patient fellas/gals/dates who like you for the images and bio you post. Otherwise with few/no images. and a cranky bio...then of course potentials will want to get to know you right away to see if you're a waste of time...or not... ...and these are just the types you don't want...right?

Robecology comments on Feb 27, 2020:

Sadly, he's right. The common cold virus is classified as a "CoronaVirus". Having said that; the mortality rate of the common cold is less than 1%. The latest strain of this rapidly evolving CoronaVirus -2019 nCoV - has at least a 2% and in some areas and conditions (filthy, crowded, unclean) up to 6% mortality rate....and it's destined to go higher. Here's the science (Epidemiology) from http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/epidemiology/epidemiology-fact-sheets/coronaviruses/ Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can infect humans or animals. Sometimes an animal coronavirus can change so that it can infect people and become a human coronavirus. There are seven known types of human coronaviruses. Four types (229E, NL63, OC43, and KHU1) are common and cause mild to moderate respiratory infections, like the common cold. Two types, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), can cause severe respiratory infections. The seventh type (2019-nCoV) is a new coronavirus recently discovered in China. Public health officials are trying to learn more about this new virus and the infection it causes. It's this last morph - 2019 nCoV - that's NOT a common cold...but far more dangerous. The good news is that tens of thousands of health pros are "on it" and it's likely to be contained, and a vaccine is being worked on right now. https://sars-cov-2.creative-biolabs.com/vaccine-discovery-services-for-sars-cov2.htm?gclid=CjwKCAiA7t3yBRADEiwA4GFlI_LIIfuZb4iR7FKVwL9fEtkeHgItGdhQVFZGfuufAjIcXjFI9S-DIxoCKi0QAvD_BwE

Should we also trust the health organizations and medical pros that are "in the field" with these diseases to be doing good things to control them? Of Course!! Here's a synopsis for those who are upset that I'm "joking" about serious diseases; Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that can infect humans or animals . Sometimes an animal coronavirus can change so that it can infect people and become a human coronavirus. There are seven known types of human coronaviruses. Four types (229E, NL63, OC43, and KHU1) are common and cause mild to moderate respiratory infections, like the common cold. Yes....the common cold is in the CoronaVirus group. Two types, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), can cause severe respiratory infections. The seventh type (2019-nCoV) is a new coronavirus recently discovered in China. Public health officials are trying to learn more about this new virus and the infection it causes. This one has a mortality rate between 2 and 6%...which is pretty high for "colds". ...and mutations happen quickly...so it could strengthen. SO

💭 What does it mean to you to be a free thinker?

Robecology comments on Feb 27, 2020:

Good question! It's both a noun and an adjective; not to mention the name of a famous group and magazine! Historically to be a "free-thinker" (adjective) implied you were unencumbered by "religion"...you were "free to think" about creation, gods or no gods, an afterlife or not...etc. To be in the "Free Thnker/Freethought" society/group was to imply that you just weren't religious. It was a safer "adjective" and or "noun" (group name) to be in - in the very religiously dominated past. Scientists - those demanding evidence, proof, and a process of studying things...quickly adhered to the strategy. It was the name given to the organization or group of Agnostics and Atheists in England nearly 140 years ago. It's also a title to the longest continually running publication...ever....in the whole world...The FreeThinker. The Freethinker was a British secular humanist magazine, founded by G.W. Foote in 1881. One of the world's oldest surviving freethought publications, it moved online-only in 2014. It has always taken an unapologetically atheist, anti-religious stance. First issue: 1 May 1881 Final issue: April 2014 (print) The website is called Patheos.com...here's the link; https://www.patheos.com/blogs/thefreethinker/ And here's the Wikipedia info page; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Freethinker_(journal)

I'm guessing that I (and you) have people who resent what I/you post - So S(he) falsely reports that my/your posts "go against community standards"... Both Social media sites (FB and A.com) allow for "anonymous' reporting.... so anyone who's offended by you or what you say can lie and make up stuff - Thus; you're reported and banned. They can keep on doing it because they were allegedly "offended". That's just the way it works. So I suggest you lighten your tone. Reword your posts to be more fact based... .less socially "challenging"... and your posts will more likely remain unchallenged. Or just quit posting? I won't.

The history of the "Flat Earth society" is an interesting one; and many clues indicate it was formed to poke fun at the #religulous of society. Interesting read; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_flat_Earth_societies

Helloooooo Nurse! It's Tuesday! How are you treating yourself nutritionally these days?

Robecology comments on Feb 25, 2020:

This is a tough one. I know my/our metabolism slows as we age...and the number of food choices continue to grow - so we civilized folk will gain weight with age. A few months ago; BK only had the "Impossible" burger (VERY good meat imitation) for a rediculous price - now's it's down to very competitive - for example. My rule; feel hunger a couple times a day - especially at night. Works for me... And check out this Slate.com article - great GIf map of America's growing obesity. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/map_of_the_week/2013/04/obesity_in_america_cdc_releases_gif_of_epidemic_over_time.html

Happy Monday! A simple question today: do you prefer to wake up early, or stay up late?

Robecology comments on Feb 24, 2020:

When you're up before dawn for 45 years (of teaching) you either become a "morning" person or you end up finding another career that doesn't require you to be at work at 7 AM or so. That's the plight of most schools...start early....end early. Not your "9 to 5" schedule at all. So 8 years after I had retired (in 2012) I'm still an up before dawn person.

In my household, I do most of the cooking.

Robecology comments on Feb 24, 2020:

It's been a bone of contention between me and the on-again-off-again lady friend. She accuses me of being too messy - I think she's a bit messy and disorganized herself. She likes low/no salt - I'm a salty-seasoner. And on, and on. It's a real issue with her...so I'm glad I'm 120 miles away.

This is harder than i thought it would be.

@Davekp I have a friend who wants to go "birding" in Ecuador. Do you have any information, contacts, people who I can talk with that live and work there?

Does anyone else share my view that there should not be a category called hate crimes?

Robecology comments on Feb 23, 2020:

@lonenonbeliever But there ARE "hate motivated" crimes. There's other motivations for crime. Greed. Frustration. Sexism. Xenophobianism. = wo why not categorized crimes that are ruled to be motivated simply by hate? The better we get to know the motivation of the criminal, the faster we can reduce the crime rate.

Deerfield Beach, Florida in 2015 and 2019 ...where did the beach go in only three years!

Robecology comments on Feb 23, 2020:

Global warming is at an unprecedented pace...not seen for hundreds of thousands of years according to ice-core records. Warmer air = warmer seas = expanded seas (anything heated expands) = melting ice = sea level rise...and the graph isn't a straight line...it's a parabolic curve. That means every day our temp rise/sea level rise not only increases...but it's rate of increase increases. Most beaches world wide can be gone in as short as a few decades if we don't act soon. Greta was right. We're in deep trouble. Here's a simple video - with Elon Musk...the CEO of Tesla, saying "This is the dumbest experiment (keep pushing fossil fuels) in the history of mankind." Then he asks..."why would you do this" - I'm afraid the one word answer - is Greed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM=IwAR3ttXRoZE4TH2OI4VDw1qediNVGMWH9IU1wecWO3GMKYVCrtyGfgDLpMEw

Robecology comments on Feb 23, 2020:

Great cinematography! But I'm saddened to see such a beautiful wide beach. It's future is in doubt. The wider the beach...the more slowly the evolution of sea level change in that area. Rocky shores show relatively "fresh" (shorter) evolution of declining seas - or even encroaching (sea level gaining) shorelines. With the rapid global warming and unprecedented (in recent geologic history) rising in sea levels, we will see a disappearance of many of these beaches. http://explorebeaches.msi.ucsb.edu/effects-climate-change

Except common folk admit this. To admit a flaw in politics is suicide.

Very good advice about how to keep happy and well, with out spending too much time money or effort.

Robecology comments on Feb 23, 2020:

Being active has its' value. The most common factor that seems to exist with aging is slowing down. We tire sooner, easier, faster. Yet we also complain if we put on weight. I love my "volunteering" for the simple reason it prolongs my life. I can eat the same as a usual day and lose weight....or at least not gain it. I sleep better. I feel a thorough "tiredness" after doing something active, vs not feeling that "exhausted" feeling on an inactive day. So I get the message. And I hope my fellow agnostics do to. Thanks for sharing this, @Fernapple!
