I'm an optimist. I think it's Bernie's time. Once the convention is done, and he's nominated by a huge margin - Obama will post a few comments which will hopefully boost him to a sure win. Bloomberg will buy ads for him. There's too many who want Trump gone. We're going to see a strong Democratic run after the convention. Hopefully.

Robecology comments on Feb 21, 2020:

What's going for Trump - and the reason Twitter and FB "look the other way" when he gets insulting... Is that he won the presidency. Out of 18 candidates. He won. His popular vote might have been low (less than 62 million) and his electoral college numbers weak...but he got a mandate... ...remember when Sean Spicer made that first public press conference where he clearly lied about the record numbers at his inauguration? ....that was the precedent that allowed his lies to continue and get worse. That lying, cheating, racism, xenophobia and homophobia was OK to a majority of voting Americans. We all know some. The tax cheats. The wife cheats. The racists. The sexists. The #religulous. Those who fear and bad-mouth immigrants. Their numbers are still huge....and their presence is formidable. The 2020 vote will be "telling". His highness just might win "the throne" for 4 more years.

EVOLUTION - ever think about it?

Robecology comments on Feb 21, 2020:

@CutieBeauty The "reply" button doesn't seem to be working... So I'm replying to you here. I agree with @AgnoBill and disagree with you...evolution has no goal. 99% of evolution of life on this planet resulted in extinction...so if there is a goal of evolution, it's to allow a process to either thrive or not thrive. We're a product of millions of positive "mutations" that allowed us to have all the features we have...but for every one positive mutation there's been millions of negative ones. - cancer, cells having a limited number of reproductions comes to mind - that cause an individual to not survive. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2871823/ "People who understand evolution know that it has no 'goal', because as Martin Simons correctly points out, the concept of having a goal implies agency, intelligence and desire. This is exactly the opposite of evolution, which is the result of purely mindless natural processes. " https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-goal-of-evolution

I was born and raised close to "the beach" in New York state, USA......1st 3 years in Coney Island (south Brooklyn, NYC) then only 10 miles north of Jones Beach in Nassau County (NY)....so when I went to college in upstate NY and started teaching there....while i did "fall in love" with the rolling hills, the Vineyards (wine-grapes and apples) and the Hudson river...I longed for the beach. When my young wife passed (Cancer, '77 -aged 29) I decided to get "back to the beach". I sent resumes to nearly every beach/waterfront town in Florida. And I landed a job in Key Largo. The move was memorable, and challenging. 3 sailboats. 3 moves, and 3 jobs later.... ...I have a retirement condo on the beach in Ft. Pierce, Florida...and love it!

Chutney was invented in India, and avidly adopted by the British.

Robecology comments on Feb 20, 2020:

Chutney is basically a fruity condiment; if well made it can be left on the table, unrefrigerated. It's tart (the strong acidity is what allows it to go unrefrigerated) and the chunks are usually cooked to a very palatable consistency. Try some commercially available chutneys first. When you find one you like...then you strive to "imitate" it. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51EFxXWmalL.jpg

The blocking process seems to be wrecking havoc, and it is because it is a mutual self destruct.

Robecology comments on Feb 20, 2020:

I like the blocking options on A.com. You can chose any length of time to block anyone being offensiv. I don't follow your "mutual self destruct" comment....I'm happy the argumentative, the hostile and the profane are blockable. - - - - - - - - - - FB has a lot of good blocking options - but one. BEWARE... the Conservative/pro-Trump FB patrol is reporting anything that offends them...and the FB judges (I call them Gestapo) believes their evaluations. It's a blocking technique which I think is being worked by the pro-Trump foreign FB team. Let me explain; I noticed an obviously false comment on FB (Bloomberg takes national lead) and i not only commented publicly that this was false; I included a link to show how he was doing ( via RealClearPolitics.com) . A few minutes later I was informed that I was blocked from posting to ANY groups for 72 hours (3 days) because my post (explaining the falsehood) had been reported as "against community standards". FB is usually considerate with these....i've been able to explain my posts and get them unblocked... but not lately. Could it be Zuckerberg's association with Trump? My post wasn't fake news. It wasn't obscene. It didn't go against community standards. What I now know I must do is not be so quick to comment publicly that a post is false. I need to report directly to the FB Gestapo whose blind obedience possibly would have blocked them.

Robecology comments on Feb 19, 2020:

I've done some research on this on my blog page. (Becoming Human). I honestly feel that it's at that point in our lives... the farthest we can think back - to our earliest memories - even pre-puberty (pubescence?) of an early home, a ride on mom/dad's shoulders, a weird dream in our youth....THAT's when we became human. Before that we are growing toward it...but not there yet. I became human around aged 4. I can recall sitting on a bare floor in a new home in Queens Village NYC. I can recall asking my mother "what happens when you die"? I recall riding on my dad's shoulders. I recall my mom's "onion, lettuce, cream cheese and tomato" sandwiches...all around that age. pre-kindergarten. And puberty? Discovering those first "pubic hairs"....the changing voice....the unplanned erections....yep....I recall them all too well...

@Hugo_Stiglitz I think this was wishful thinkIng on Leo's part - or perhaps not an accurate quote. I'd like to know the source of this quote. I'm not sure he said this. I've bought and read several of his books. He was the eternal optimist. Having said that; it's my firm conviction that you only hate former loved ones...and the wiser the person - the shorter they dwell in the hate. ....and the quicker they move to apathy or indifference. I "hate" D.Trump only because he said he'd "love" us...but has proven, over and over again...to have lied. The hate will fade to apathy when he's either out of office, or resigns, or is locked up. He's not just lied about loving the American people...he's actively shown resentment and anger against too many. Sorry; I can't feel "apathy" for such a person. To quote the Leo I know; "Love is a choice that offers alternatives to frustration, loneliness and fear". Another one I like that Leo said is "It is an injustice to speak of "love at first sight", "happy ever aftering" and "unconditional loving" as if they were givens - to be expected simply because we are human. We are "Born to love"...but we need to learn how to love, and to work hard to keep up our skill at it". I'm well versed in Leo Buscaglia. I'd like a specific reference to where he said this. I find it hard to believe. https://www.audible.com/pd/Love-Audiobook/B0741CB169?source_code=GPAGBSH0508140001=true=CjwKCAiAp5nyBRABEiwApTwjXt8GA5WUQle18DK43fDIWxO0jo0L1k1iq5LcUNygUOcG2hHK3gCwaRoCF3MQAvD_BwE=aw.ds

Once you know the #religulous history of St. Valentines - you'll never want your child celebrating this "holiday"... https://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/history-of-valentines-day-2

❤Happy Valentine's Day❤

The sad tale of the life of the man who would become St. Valentine leaves me...well....sad... The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Still others insist that it was Saint Valentine of Terni, a bishop, who was the true namesake of the holiday. He, too, was beheaded by Claudius II outside Rome. All three were martyred. All three beheaded by the #religulous. All three allegedly earned "sainthood" centuries later. AHH...THE #RELIGULOUS!

Happy Valentine's Day ❤

Tough one...very variable. But you're a fool not to ask some sort of confirmation about safe health situations.

Being intelligent , unfortunately , does not mean a person is moral .

Greed is the perfect addiction. Nothing to "imbibe" - nor inject, nor smoke. etc. If you get good at it...everything gets better. Food. Sex. Homes. Cars. Clothing. Your family fears and loathes you if you have a "drug" addiction. They praise you and applaud you if you have a "greed" addiction. Unfortunately it is an addiction. There is serious withdrawal illness if it doesn't work for you. But it seems that this "addiction" has become the way of the modern world. I think it will lead to our downfall as a species.
