It's not true to say "No one will put a mentally challenged, Alzheimer’s ridden, unhealthy eighty-year old in jail." Adrian Andreas Florian, a sick 85-year old man with dementia and no criminal record, was imprisoned for months by ICE and died in custody. So why is the convicted felon not jailed?

I tried this argument a few decades ago, when submitting a second year history essay a day late, and I cannot say it worked.

When I was a kid, I learned about the Holocaust and I met Holocaust survivors. Because of that, I believe that never again should there be genocide against anyone. Yet the Israeli minister Ben-Gvir supports murder and genocide. Sickening. www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-...

Watched 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' again last night. Still one of the best films ever made. When I first saw it, I thought, thank God all that racism, corruption and stupidity is receding into the past. When I saw it last night, I thought, this is no different to how things are now.

This brings to mind, the late Ron Camm, Queensland Minister for Mines in 1973, who had an equally 'scientific' reason to justify putting oil rigs on the Great Barrier Reef.
The Minister for Mines in Queensland, Australia won my heart with his remarks to the Press when there was controversy over the proposal to drill for oil on the Great Barrier Reef. First of all, he said, there was no such thing as an oil slick. He then added that if by some billion-to-one chance oil should escape, there was no problem for (and here I quote him verbatim) 'as every schoolboy knows, oil floats on the surface of the water and coral lives underneath the surface, so no harm could be done'.

Journalists: "If someone tells you it’s raining and another tells you it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. It’s your job to look out the f—ing window and find out which is true.” - Jonathan Foster, quoted by Peter Greste theconversation.com/its-the-abcs...

Now that Texas is forcing kids to read the Bible in schools, there is every chance that many of them will react like Winston Churchill's son, Randolph, who read the Bible for a bet and then exclaimed "God, isn't God a sh-t."
Randolph Churchill, son of Winston, was as ill-read as he was talkative. Evelyn Waugh and Lord Birkenhead were stuck with him on a mission in wartime Yugoslavia. They each 'bet him fro that he will not read the Bible right through in a fortnight. He has set to work but not as quietly as we hoped. He sits bouncing about on his chair, chortling and saying, "I say, did you know this came in the Bible, 'bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to the grave'?" [Gen. 42: 38, 44: 29]. Or simply, "God, isn't God a shit."'

HOMEWORK MACHINE by Shel Silverstein
The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine,
Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen.
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it is—"nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."
Three?
Oh me...
I guess it's not as perfect
As I thought it would be.

I believe in a woman's right to choose. I think those in the anti-choice lobby who hate child welfare, public health and human rights are not pro-life. I also think male right-wing politicians may want to criminalise abortion just to ensure silence from women whose abortions they paid for.
