Cast1es comments on Mar 24, 2020:

Equality , isn't exactly equal . Growing up , I learned to hammer in nails , cut through a 2 X 4 with a hand saw , build things . As an adult in addition to my job , I also bought real estate , fixed them up , rented them out and eventually sold them at a profit , before flipping became a thing . We weren't equal , because my brother didn't learn to cook , sew , do dishes , but he still got the same allowance I got . I just had to do a lot more to get it .

For comparison , the closest to us by number of cases , is France . The country of France is smaller than our state of Texas . But we're being told there are not enough test kits to test even those suspected of having it . We're being told the hospitals are full and to stay home ( untested ) even if we have the symptoms of the disease . How can these numbers be even close to accurate , when victims are not going to hospitals and are not being tested even if they show the symptoms ?

Scientists are recovering sites of former civilizations , but seldom know why they died out , after reaching unexpected levels of culture . They claim they can't understand how they built the pyramids and yet many different , unconnected civilizations constructed them . Apparent extremely complex navigational instruments have been discovered , when they didn't have the means to see , much less understand astronomy . Pictigraohs extending over many miles were created at ground level , when the only ones to ever be able to actually see them would have to be in mid air . We've been warned about cimate change and how it will affect the earth , perhaps one of the ways it affects the earth is that new viruses and bacteria develope .

I suspect for some of us , it may deal with comfort zone . Let's try this , I drive a car . Around home , I am comfortable driving without the use of maps or GPS . If I drive more than ten or fifteen miles away from where I live , I may not be as comfortable without the help of some kind of guidance system , or instructions , but I can still drive my car . On the other hand , there are some places where , even though I can drive a car , I would not be comfortable driving , perhaps up a steep mountain side on a narrow road or over a high bridge . Like wise , if the topic she is discussing is one she is very familiar with , or if the people she is talking to , know even less than she knows about it , she may feel confident to pass on what she thinks she knows , where as , if she is with a superior , who knows more than she does about a specific topic , she may be less comfortable talking to them . On the other hand , I've met some people who can't seem to shut their mouths , whether they know their topic or not . I've even met some who feel they have to get in the last word , even if the last word is nothing more than , " Yeah , but you know what I mean . " after someone else has spoken .
