And living life, is better than platitudes; to actually be part of the reality of this world.. Title this missive, "Some people stink". This morning, I did 15,115 meters on the rowing maching. Ya, well fresh sweat smells like nothing but salt water. Damn, I don't like washing shirts everyday--- and the bacteria on the second day! Ya, but I take a shower, with lots of flowery soap. Perfect! Smell like a cheap petunia. Now to get to the subject: that would be 'potable water' that I was using to wash my perspired parts. There are parts of this world where people are drinking polluted water, not even safe water. They wouldn't wash in it- they would drink it. Some people stink!!!!! That's very, nasty reality.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Diogenes comments on Sep 18, 2019:

But the major part of life is what one is born into, at the various levels. If a person is one of the millions, who has been eating grass for a few weeks to survive, then it is very unlikely that they will refer to the wine list to see which wine goes with grass. I don't think platitudes are funny; maybe 'Mister Williams' needs to take another look at reality.

Well this is about grammar. What about early elementary school math? Mr. Trump himself, seems to have a 'little' problem with math. He wants to have the next G7 at one of his resorts, where world leaders and their 'entourage' (probably 50 or more) won't bring the $ millions directly into his pocket. Ya, he will claim that it actually cost him money.

Vaclav Havel: no one is perfect. But if there ever was such a quaint being as an "honest politician", it was him, and in such turbulent times. Maybe off topic! I was watching the New Zealand Prime Minister being interviewed on TV. (even forgotten her name). She talked about bringing the gun nonsense to a halt in 21 days. She talked about her son, and that her mate had given her an engagement ring and that him and her would eventually get married. "Shameies, shameies, all over the place"- having a child out of wedlock! Those religious clowns really are a hateful lot! Some people seem to have trouble getting it. A relationship with honesty and respect, hands down, beats a hateful marriage. Being together because there is a desire to do so, beats a piece of paper, a marriage certificate.

I agree with James; thanks for putting that quote on. I agree with the term, "linguistic fascism"- and in this warped and twisted society, if a person uncovers the obvious, they are some kind of 'fungus on society'. Being "a person of colour", like I am, I enjoy talking to thinking people of any colour. As far as my skin, at my age, it is a 'sorta' wrinkled, grey-pinky colour. In the current, politically-correct holiness, the term "colour" is to be applied only to a certain group though- so we have "people of colour", and 'people with no colour'. Let's see, something with no colour would be very difficult to see, in fact it would be invisible: 'the visible and the invisible people', and so-called 'intelligent' people, casually, let this drop out of their gob, as if it was supposed to have some meaning. ...and this is just starting into the can of worms; so much blather, with nothing said!

These questions with the 100 or so words, with the 20 clauses, delivered at jet-speed. Was this practiced and set up before hand? Of course! Were they interested in an answer---- or making a fool of Mueller? Mueller should have gone along with the game- and repeatedly ask them to "Repeat please". It was the 'Republicons' who made fools of themselves while trying to pull this farce.
