Let’s Apply a Little Thought Here
“Object permanence” is a term developmental psychology used to mean the point at which infants, usually at the age of perhaps six months, come to understand that the things around them like bottles, toys, and people don’t disappear simply because they go out of range of sight, only to somehow reconstitute themselves later, when they return to the baby’s field of vision.
The idea that the candle shown at left “regenerates” itself is almost as infantile as the belief that Rover vanishes when he leaves the room and then later comes back into being.
When they burn, the hydrocarbons in wax candles are transformed into CO2 and water, as heat is released. This process doesn’t build new candles.
Remarkably, there are people who believe that it’s wrong for our most visible artists and athletes to share their progressive political viewpoints. I use the word “remarkably” because generally, the folks most critical of, for instance, Taylor Swift, are staunch supporters of Americans’ rights to free speech.
Those of us who were paying attention to the 2016 Republican debates that winnowed the field of GOP hopefuls will remember John Kasich, then governor of Ohio. He’s not unlike Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney in that he really doesn’t have a progressive bone in his body, but fairness demands that liberals regard him as essentially a sane and decent human being.
This lady brings up a good point here, but the answer to the question she poses is obvious: everyone is so wrapped up around the concept that Donald Trump may be re-elected that we have no mental bandwidth for anything else, and that vice presidents are generally inconsequential to the country’s well-being.
A reader asks: My wife just said about some left over green veggies “ Don’t worry about those, I will salad them.” Grounds for divorce?
I was on a Zoom call the other day on which someone was trying to explain the hostility between two sects somewhere in Central or Eastern Europe. (Was it Hungary? I can’t recall.) The caller explained, “These people just don’t along with each other.”
With each passing day it appears that Trump is losing a few more voters. Take the story of the Haitians in Ohio as an example.
Trump is revered by two groups:
Are you telling me that the “Patriots Network” creates and promotes memes based on quotes that they themselves acknowledge to be fake? I’m struggling to think of anything more stupid.
As shown at left, key public figures in red states are slamming Trump for his selfish and traitorous behavior.
