Just for fun: 5,700 mi x 5,280 ft/mi = 30,096,000 ft 6 ft/min x 60 min/hr = 360 ft/ hr 30,096,000 ft / 360ft/hr = 83,600 hrs 83,600 hrs / 4 hrs/day = 20,900 days (fn1) 20,900 days / 365.25 days/yr = 57.22 yrs. Life expectancy of a sloth in the wild is 20 to 30 years. footnote 1: This assumes the entire four hours the sloth is awake is used for travel in the most direct line. A more realistic assumption is two hours per day travel, which would also include adjustment for minimal detours. This would increase the overall time to more than a century.

I'll consider the possibility that the law might be reasonable if you can show me where in the Constitution We, the People, gave the government the right to tell us what we can or cannot grow in our own soil and what we can or cannot put in our own bodies. Since you won't be able to show me that, this part really doesn't matter; having considered all of the arguments that I have ever heard in favor of prohibition, no, the law is not reasonable.

Trump started with Reagan!

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 13, 2018:

Reagan was the greatest acting president ever. He was the show, but he was not running the show. Trump started way before Reagan. The movement that led tRump started with the defeat of Goldwater, and the right's determination to come back from that loss. It crystalized in the Powell Memo published on August 23, 1971. If you are not familiar with the Powell Memo, look it up and read it. It is the step by step game plan that the oligarchs have used to stage their slow, silent coup to take over this country. The final stage was to, as Grover Norquist said, have a President just smart enough to sign his name on the bills that the Republican congress would pass.

If I had to pick a specific date for the beginning of the decline, it would be August 23, 1971. That was the day that the Powell Memo was first published.

"Bless you" actually originated during the days of the plague. Since sneezing was a sign of infection, "Bless you" was a response acknowledging that the person sneezing would soon be dead. It was seen almost as a curse. Knowing the history of the phrase, there are some people I will say it to. Generally I stick with, "Gesundheit!"

It's worse than non-consensual. Here are the lyrics to a song I wrote about it: MFG (Mother F***ing God) Geo McCalip © 2013 BMI This song may upset you just a bit But know this as you listen to it While it may not be correct politically, You will find it's based on true theology. This thing called the Holy Trinity Seems more than a little weird to me. Stranger than a duckbill platypus And just as complex as Oedipus. But people say I'm reasonably bright, And I believe that I've got it right. So, though you may not like what I have to say, I'm gonna just let the chips fall where they may. You've got God the Father and the Son And the Holy Spirit, three in one. The Holy Spirit moved on Mary And fathered the child that she carried. Christ was fathered by divinity But he's part of the same Trinity. Of all the world's religions what are the odds? Christianity got the mother f***ing god.

mcgeo52 comments on Oct 5, 2018:

I absolutely love Long Beach. The theater, art and poetry scenes here are far more than what you would expect in a city this size (470,000). But it is the music that blows me away. On any given evening you can find at least one open mic, but you would be hard pressed to find a single bad performance in a week's worth of open mics. It's not just the quantity and quality of the music, it's the variety, too. I host one of those open mics every Wednesday, and I never cease to be amazed. It's not at all uncommon to have someone singing opera, followed by someone singing country, followed by a rapper, followed by Hawaiian music, followed by someone singing show tunes, followed by a group doing R&B and Motown, followed by a classical guitarist, followed by someone from South America, followed by a talented singer/songwriter, followed by someone doing punk, with me wrapping it up doing a couple of protest songs on ukulele. And we manage to get in a poet or three, too. At the truly professional level, Long Beach was the home of Bird Land West with Charlie Parker, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Snoop Dog; the Carpenters were from nearby Downey, but came out of the music program at Cal State Long Beach. We have a symphony and ballet company, as well as Musical Theater West which does top notch off Broadway productions. And, if for some reason you can't find enough here, you can take on the traffic, or avail yourself of the Blue Line (light rail) and go into LA. Along with the music we have a great variety of food. Of course we have some great Mexican food, but we also have Peruvian and Honduran restaurants. In addition to Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai, and Vietnamese, we also have Cambodian. In one block in downtown you can find Greek, Spanish, Japanese, Irish pub grub, Italian, and a fish house. As for the climate, it's Southern California on the ocean. We occasionally get very strong winds, but they are much warmer that what Chicago gets. If you really want snow, you can go visit it a couple of hours away in the mountains; it's very civilized arrangement. I won't tell you traffic is no problem, but I find more than enough to do within easy bicycling distance that I drive less than 40 miles/month. and most of that is trips to Trader Joe's, Target, Staples, etc. While the cost of housing here has risen noticeably in the last few years, it is still the most affordable place on the ocean anywhere between Malibu and the Mexican border. And my annual bill for heating and cooling (ceiling fan, no A/C) is in the lower end of double digits.
