@Castlepaloma Eisenhower warned about the ' war and murder industry' way back in the 60s. But beside that, Dump has been the first to try to be a dictator- and because of the lack of investigative education---- the US is sinking very fast.

@Fernapple I 'finally' did a little reading- obvously I need to do a lot more reading. I even spell "Anne Boleyn's" name correctly this time. Oliver Cromwell was a distant relative of Thomas Cromwell, and also a relative of Anne Boleyn, but to please Hank 8, he testified against her. Yes, Anne was beheaded, but so were both Cromwells, although over a century apart. Thomas Cromwell got what he deserved by being a suck-up to Henry VIII.

But what is the purpose of the question? Is it to show the 'brilliance' of the stupid questioner---- or to get an unknown answer. The wife of James Joyce asked him, "Why don't you write something that people understand." But Socrates still makes a valid point.

@rogerbenham It was all too late when I started to figure out what this circus was about. Too little, too late does nothing. I worked for Ontario Hydro, part-time! Wadda joke! Mr. Tom Parkinson, CEO, committed fraud for $45 thousand on his expence account- so after 4 years, of fun and games, they gave him $3 million severance pay. ALL fucking fun and games!

Yup, I can see this....

I don't quite understand your 2 x 4 remark. If you had said 'a pile of sand', I would understand. I had a trade in the air force that I didn't particularly want, an armourer. A bullet goes a greater distance through hard wood than through sand. The sand closes off the vacume behind the bullet. And no, I have never owned a gun, and guns don't interest me.

@Marionville Marje, now that I'm a geezer I must take my driver's exam every two years. The irritating, patronizing tester said, "Now remeber, do your 15 minutes of exercise every day." I got along with the guy sitting beside me- he was also in his 80s.He shook his head in disbelief. He said something about his skying all day, the day before. About a month ago, I was with the over 50 crowd. We did a three hour hike and it was a good one with about 10 upgrades, long and short, at about 45 degrrees. To me that was a relativelly easy one. Stupiid habits aren't about living forever- or not. It is about the quality of life- strokes do VERY mean things to a person.

I just read a bit about Israel Ehrenberg. He was born in East London in 1905. He did not have a doctorate from Cambridge or Oxford. He was dismissed from Rutgers. Apparently he also "appeared regularly on The Tonight Show". Why would anyone with serious concepts appear on a show designed for pulp entertainment? He had serious race issues! I have Jewish friends- NOT token friends, and my doctor is Jewish- BUT I also am dealing with a couple of Jewish lawyers- they would steal granny's false teeth. Ashley Montague, Israel Ehrenberg- or whatever you want to call him!

Diogenes replies on Oct 4, 2021:

@FrayedBear I totally agree with all of that. Some of the best English comedians really stick it to the English "posh". And although there is only the smallest percentage of all reigious groups, some actually do good works. I have NO 'residual' interest in any religious group though; to do so one must believe in moronic fairy tales.

@FrayedBear Yes, I read that long ago, that de Valera had said, "... history will record the greatness of Michael Collins...". I am not going to get into all the history about the assasination of Collins in Cork- and the biggest reason is that I don't know enough about it. My old granny was from Cork. I don't like the name of the sports clubs being called "Rebels" though. Excuse my twist in logic too. I believe Winston Churchill was Foreign Secretary in 1922 and he sent in the Black and Tans- that caused enough anger to cause the Republic to be formed. Thank you Winny!

Glad you said, "average mainstream" doctor. Many decades ago, when I was 'still alive' (excuse the dark humour), I talked with a doctor that did ultra marathons. For Death to do him in, Death would have to catch him first.
