Social Distancing And 1984 Some have pointed out how ‘social distancing’ is a divide and conquer tactic and I have made mention to how odd the names given to these things are. AIDS, for example; just whom does it aid? Now I know it’s an acronym for Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome, but who acquired it? Here we have ‘social distancing,’ not  ‘physical distancing.’ Why? Physical only has one more syllable in it.  But what is wanted is more than physical distancing. The pictures of the Italians with their wine glasses on the ends of large poles, clinking their glasses together in a toast from their balconies show that they understand. Of course they lived through Stalin. It’s wanted that people should be less friendly and less able to communicate. They should fear the other person; they have a disease they are trying to give you. You are in competition with them for toilet paper.   Anyone who hasn’t read the book 1984 should do so, while they’re in lockdow...

Returning To 'Normal' We are starting to see more talk about returning to ‘normal.’ I would like to point out the definition of ‘normal,’ which is; “conforming to a standard, usual, typical or expected,” which means that, if we were in a ‘normal’ condition before, a pandemic could not have crept up on us, therefore we were never in a state of ‘normal’ to begin with. Well, these things happen, you might say. It’s bats or rats, as in the case of the bubonic plague.  Well, here is an interesting article; https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/8/9/01-0536_article   It talks about how the bubonic plague was used as a biological weapon during the siege of Caffa by catapulting corpses that were infected with the plague at the enemy. I doubt this was the first time it used in this way. My opinion is that it probably goes on back to the ancient Egyptians who were likely among the first to stockpile this virus.  This article also mentions this practice of stockpiling viruse...

Do What You Want To Do ‘The lunatic is in the hall. 
 The lunatics are in my hall. 
 The paper holds their folded faces to the floor  
And every day the paper boy brings more.” Words from Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, the song ‘Brain Damage.’  And it does seem the media is holding our folded faces to the floor. It’s a field day, for the media being able to peddle so much fear and death and they have our rapt attention, in fact there’s no escape, not even on social media.  They are the Piper, calling the tune and we follow like the mice to the river.  “The lunatic is in my head. 
 The lunatic is in my head 
 You raise the blade, you make the change 
 You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. 
 You lock the door 
And throw away the key  
There's someone in my head but it's not me.”  Well, you know what I say; “Do what you want to do, And go where you’re going to. Think for yourself ‘Cause I won’t be there with you.” ...
