Being Human: A realm exploration of what makes people, people.
Well the Being Human: series was a complete flop. Raging against Politicians, Cheering for Politicians, Superbowl, the creationists wars, Republican douchebaggery (not a word but I don’t care)and a thousand little things took center stage.
So, I’ll answer my own question, it will be drowned out by first place blood-lust any way. Regardless of the suffering, real or imagined, regardless of the injustice, the inequality, regardless of all the negative we report about on a daily basis–I say yes we can be redeemed as a species.
People do the imaginable everyday but there is also merit in the mundane. You don’t have to save the world, you don’t need to save a life, a smile to a stranger ( of course I’m not talking 2am in central park ) helping someone cross the street, holding a door open for others–engaging in these trivialities is how you pay for the privilege of being HUMAN. Pick something of your own but if you read this and find no value in it then YOU may be beyond redemption—don’t mistake it as WE are all irredeemable.

Hello everyone!!
Today, I will pretend to be a Doctor, and this is a home visit.
Where are all the patients?
Hai, ForPeace, I am getting ready to go out.
Then, I assume you are not one of the patients. 😉
Have fun, Haruko!
she only thinks she is going out. She also thinks she is charlemagne
LOL, hello, captain.
😀
Ahem.
Glad you’re here when no one else is. 😉
I have no luck to see others when ever I stop by in here!!
How’s it forpeace?
Hiya, Doc!..12-hour shifts??….8-)
on occasion. 😀
not too bad the last few days
In the groove, then?.. 😆 ….8-)
pretty much getting the hang of this doctor malarkey 😉
Hell, I sure hope so!!.. 😆 ….8-)
Hey you’re not touching me with that needle!!!!!!!!!!!
What exactly means “Being Human” ?
Redemption?
I don’t believe so.
Hiya forpeace, dear!..XO..We could also ask “What is redemption?” could we not?..I personally bristle at the word….8-)
Being Human: As it pertains here; is a short series of post highlighting qualities, really anything you guys wanted to talk about – an insight into makes people, people. Well in theory.
So for this page the topic is Redemption of the species–I still have not given-up on humanity, what’s your take?
Does 50.5% count??….8-)
http://boingboing.net/2014/02/06/animals-from-60-different-spec.html I prescribe 50cc’s of cute twice a day
Yo doc when is the graduation?
June i think 😀
OK good to know for no reason 😀
hahaha how are you my friend>?
Doing good hopefully after next week things slow down for me and I can catch up with stuff I need to do.
it’s a beautiful thing. Wish I had some land and money, I would get some sheep for my dog to watch over, he would love that!
awwww….. that was great! 🙂
Good to see you, poco!
Hiya Realm!..Everybody staying warm??..It’s 42 in my shop so I’m getting there.. 😆 ..Are we answering to the redeeming qualities of this page?..S33 you upstreaml…8-)..
FourEyes!!!
Haven’t seen you for a LONG time my friend.
IKR??..I’m not getting on much, lately, my dear..keeping busy with a lot of things..It’s like a ray of sunshine whenever I S33 your face!..XO….8-)
hey buddy.
it’s 44 degrees outside here so not too bad inside. 😀
I was just out shoveling again, but I need to do some cosmetic work on a 1969 Ford Mustang center console I’m restoring for my brother, so I just need to warm up a small table area..Then while it’s drying I’m going to take a Cat(s)+Lap=Nap.. 😆 ….8-)
Fancy building me a 69 fastback?
I have a naked one in my garage..In fact, I built one that I shipped to England that has some history to it….8-)
My first car was a 1965 Mustang. Oh, how I miss that machine.
It was a lot more fun when I could bend over and get up from the floor without grunting, Dawg..I miss ’em all.. 😆 ….8-)
Hi 4E, so when you talk about the shop where you are doing the work on the car, is this the garage to your house, or your son’s shop with the fuel tanks ?
MY Shop is a basement garage..THE SHOP is our (new) facility up near your end of town that has everything from his garage and stuff from My Shop..With me so far?..THE SHOP has the oil tanks and the trucks..MY Shop has a 72 Ranchero in it, along with a torn down 460 engine, a built up 302 engine, a new C6 and and a rebuilt C5, and the console I’m restoring..MY Garage has a 69 Mach 1 body shell and tons of other stuff in it including more oil-processing equipment..OUR garage has the daily cars and housey-stuff..Did that make sense??.. LOL ….8-)
4E 42 indoors is beyond redemption crank-up that heat!
in a garage ?
With an insulated door?
If it’s small enough. I could be wrong but it sounded rather large. I thought he was storing some big tanks in there.
Big tanks of what?
We just finishing adding on to my shop. It was an uninsulated shed, attached to the shop. It’s now insulated, a door cut through from the main shop. But, because the milling machine that’s going to live in there is so tall, we’re putting on an insulated garage door. It should be pretty toasty in there. Not terribly large though. The door was supposed to go on today, but the storm pushed it back a day.
I might be thinking of his son’s shop, that has the tanks for alternative fuel. I’ll ask.
My brother-in-law put an insulated garage door on his garage and turned it into a man cave. Of course he lives in the Cape Fear area which is right on the coast between North and South Carolina, a lot warmer than the Northeast.
Hey, my own hair colour!
Hi Fi ! My avi is from the TV show Suits here in the US. I love the show and this woman’s character is very sharp.
Jack is partial to redheads ! That must be why you guys get along so well 😀
Hey, Dawg..Tanks of used cooking oil that gets turned in biodiesel..all local….8-)
Nice! I’ve dreamed of getting a van that runs on bio-diesel.
I had a Jetta TDI that I was about to convert when the trans AND the turbo quit.. I’m hoping by summer to have our F550 converted to run on it..Moar diesels with the new biofuels means less oil refining to make gas..So it’s a good thing….8-)
I know -zero- about cars, I’m sure what you said there made sense. to someone….
😆 ..Biodiesel is my biz, MS..Gramma would know what I’m takin’ about.. 😆 ….8-)
The SHOP, Jack, not the HOUSE!….8-)

Dr. forpeace..? Calling Dr. forpeace??
Bass, are you looking to get a shot ?
LOL, waverly ………. I’m not giving him a shot.
I’ve hired a nurse to do that for me. 😉
LOL
Dear, Bass!!
I heard you’re not felling well, the Doctor is here.
What can I do for you? 💐
I need me some doctorin’..!!
Don’t change the page too quickly, Jack. I have a few things I’m writing up for this page.
Hey Neb, it’s only at 353 Responses, so he shouldn’t change it too soon.
Greetings, Waverly! I just want to make sure 🙂
true with Jack you never know 😀
How fares your day?
All is is well here, may venture out to see what’s on sale and have a bite to eat. How ’bout you Neb, what are you working on ?
I’m working on a few long comments to post about the theme redemption.
I will let you finish, gotta bundle up and head out. See you in a little bit.
Be safe out there. Grab something good for dinner!
Would any of these comments involve Justin Bieber? 😆
Oh you! 😉
Totally agree with you dear, neb ……… even though I have nothing in writing for this page.
Greetings, ForPeace! Great to see you. How have you been?
I’m not working today, that’s why I came in here twice!! 😉
But, life is as good as it gets, how are you doing?
A day off is always a treat! I hope you are enjoying it? Looks like you are!
I’m doing good, staying sunny though it is cold outside, it is manageable. Wish the warm weather would get up off its lazy behind and show up soon 😉
Yes, if starting to get sick because of the reckless employees with flu coming to work is a treat, then YES, a day off is a treat, and I’m enjoying it!!! 😡
I guess we need more water, therefore more snow and rain is a good idea, it is winter after all, although some prefer warm weather. I just feel so sad for the homeless people!!
Catching the flu from those that aren’t decent enough to keep it to themselves is a pain. Working in the public can be a risk when flu season begins, best always to wash your hands and if needs be turn away from their breathing!
I sure hope those without a home this year have the means to a warm place to stay for the night. They suffer a lot in these conditions.
We cannot live in a bubble, but there are always people who are reckless and have no respect for others health.
Sadly, not all of them are staying in a warm place, I have seen so many of them.
Politicians can live in bubbles though 😦
Oh wait …….. there was another time I cam in her twice!!
Mr. Jackholius,
Don’t worry, I’m not touching you with a needle.
I’m just a Doctor, not a nurse!!
Regarding Being Human ………….. MORE please!!
Well, no bank today, the police told me to go back to my car, there’s an armed robber running around.
Where?
He robbed a Motel 6 and a Taco Bell this morning, they think he’s an escaped rapist from Bozeman. So all the banks and downtown businesses were closed.
That’s good they closed the banks and businesses, you never know what a person with gun is capable of doing?
Well, there’s been a ton of updates on the CVS Pharmacies story. Fox News blamed Obama … they really did. http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/02/05/fox-freaks-out-over-cvs-ending-sales-of-tobacco/197947
Sucks for the Fox Ministry of Propaganda!
They blame him for the rain (if it rains), the snow (if it snows), gravity (if they fall down), I guess since he -is- “the great satan” and all…. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1446724.1378398017!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_635/satan6n-1-web.jpg sigh…. even for the faux-news crowd…. those people are just plain batshit…
Redemption, Is it possible?
To be redeemed indicates you have worth, worth as seen in the eyes of your friends and family, worth as seen by the whole of humanity, worth as seen spiritually; are people worthy enough to be forgiven?
Are people worthy enough to be accepted with all of their faults and mistakes? Are people worthy themselves to redeem themselves? Surely redemption is something seen in the eyes of others, but redemption when it matters the most is found within, salvation lies within. Only within can the demons people carry with them throughout their life be fought. It is a constant battle, it is a battle that lasts over lifetime. There is no easy way out of this, nor a shortcut to avoid this. There is no vacation or even a coffee break. It all lies within your heart, all hearts collectively, because to see worth in another one must see that worth has substance.
Is redemption possible? It can be, it ought to be, but it is up to the person that feels they need to be redeemed. Nobody is perfect. We are all flawed. Our flaws make us the same and different at the same time. Everybody has experienced pain and sadness, depression. It may vary in degrees for each person, but we all share it and experience it; it is a gift, because if we didn’t feel anything who can really say we are alive?
So, is it possible? Yes, but you have to want it bad enough. Bad enough to stop beating yourself down inside. Bad enough to scream and actually fight the demons you carry inside. If you don’t fight back they will beat you down, keeping you down, and changing you inside. We have all been given this wonderful gift of life. Does life itself have worth? Does living for another person have worth?
There comes a point when either a person gives in to the demons and completely wastes this gift of life, in doing so ruining a good thing because they see that life has beaten them down and they feel they have had it worse than everyone else. Or, they take this gift and run with it for the short amount of time that it lasts.
This is an old planet, human beings have been around for a long time. Countless millions, perhaps even upwards to a trillion since the dawn of humanity. People have always had it rough, but no one person has ever had it worse than everyone. We all as human beings share these emotions and hard times.
What are you worth? Do you matter? Do you make a difference being alive to other people?
Do you see that there is beauty in this life? Do you feel for other people? Are you sympathetic to the plight of another person or people. Do you have empathy? Do you want this world to be a better place? Do you want to bring joy to another person’s life?
All of those questions above have answers. If you can answer those questions you have worth. If you can’t answer those question, well…Why are you wasting space? Please check out and spare us all the pity-party. I have no time for it. I have seen people waste their lives away. Yeah, we all have demons. I have a few, but I’m not going to bend over for them. I don’t have the time anymore to beat myself down. We are all flawed people. We are flawed for a reason. The reason being we are all not perfect creations, nor should we be perfect creations. So, when it comes down to it. Either let the demons you carry around rape you, or, kill those motherfuckers one at a time and keep killing them.
Are you angry enough to want to live?
Q’Plah!!!
Greetings, BassFace! How are you doing today?
Over the worst part, it seems… it still isn’t easy, but the worst is apparently over for now.
My thoughts and prayers to you while you recover. Keep soldiering on!
Most appreciated, and honourable!
Excellent observations. Coming into being is easy and out of our control, dying is a different story- regardless it’s the time in between living and dying that matters. I suppose that is the fate of humanity, no one said we are guaranteed to be around forever.
Greetings!
“A good conscience is a continual feast.”

Ah but Paris is a moveable feast. 😀
🙂
Sorry Neb. Don’t mind me and my corny stream of consciouness.
I haven’t read that Hemingway back yet. Have you read it?
I have, one of my favorites.
I need to read more of his stuff. I have a few of his books. I really love “A Farewell to Arms.” I have a collection of his short stories I need to go through. “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” is a griping story. Next time I see a copy of “Feast” I’ll pick it up.
The two you mention plus A Moveable Feast are my favorites. Plus he did some short stories, my favorite was A Clean Well Lighted Place.
Is that short story the one that takes place in a small diner?
Cafe, yeah (diner, bite your tongue man). 😀
🙂 I remember that one! Did you see the HBO movie: “Hemingway & Gellhorn?” That was a neat movie.
Nope, unfortunately never had the money to get HBO.
Here is a neat interview with Martha Gellhorn: http://youtu.be/qj9D3GIczW4 .
Thanks for the link Neb.
Life’s a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!
I don’t think that’s what Hemingway had in mind 😉
Excellent post Neb!
Thanks, Dood! Great to see you. How has your day been? How is Clancey?
A good day here…did a short walk…it’s really cold…5F and gonna drop below 0F tonight…another brisk one in the morning!
Bundle up! Or just use Clancey as the blanket!
He sure cranks out the heat when he sleeps next to me!
Haha!! Clancey’s not that bad……yet!
http://youtu.be/max7vGs-qBk 🙂
😀
Is Millie a long or short hair?
Long hair. She uses me as a pillow when it gets cold, that is if she isn’t sleeping in her bed by the heating vent!
I had a cat like that…always wanted to sleep on my head.
Millie used to do that but she kept trying to stick her tail in my face so I told her that this would really hurt my ability to get treats for her. She bought it!
Heh! Sneaky!
I had another cat that liked to stick her paw in my mouth when I was asleep…..yuk
Oh! The worst is when they crawl over you at night and step on you!
If Clancey did that, it would hurt….he’s 85 lb!
Just making certain he never steps on your ‘you know what!’
He doesn’t walk about much but he has stretched his paw into the family jewels before….that’ll wake you up!
I had one that would paw at my eyelashes to wake me up. Direct and to the point!
My son once found one of our cats sticking its head partially into his open mouth- he was snoring. THAT woke him up!
🙂 http://www.buzzfeed.com/paws/awkward-cat-sleeping-positions
Wonderful insight, Neb! We all need each other in order to survive this human existence and accepting each other for our flaws and moving forward is tantamount to keeping your seat on the roller coaster that is life.
Indeed, Ricki Lee! Well said!
I nearly died LAUGHING reading this…

Hey, Bass!..How’s the mouth??..Saw DDS today to go thru it, too..*sigh*….8-)
Finally got over the worst of the swelling today… still in a little pain, but now trying to avoid taking any further Oxycodone (even though it is mixed w/Tylenol it is still addictive!), just keeping my jaw iced-down. I did get the denture fitted yesterday, but that was during the worst of the swelling, so I’ll get it refitted on Monday.
What is the extent of your situation, 4E? Just the wisdom-teeth, or is it more than that?
Wisdoms long gone, some bone damage, but been nursing it along for a decade..Time’s up….8-)
Sorry, Bass..Tao is climbing all over me and I never finished..Took impressions today and discussed options..$$$$$..Ouch!!….8-)
I’ve been lucky that it’s only been my lowers that were removed… the uppers have all been reasonably healthy though I had a couple of bad (& crooked) incisors that were replaced a couple of years ago by a dental-bridge (one extracted, the other ground into a post for the bridge), and I’m all set now with the uppers. The short-term suffering aside, I still have yet to feel the long-term effects of (& adjustments into) of using a denture, so in some respects I’m just as much “charting new territory” as you are/will be. Feelin’ for ya, dude!
I’m feelin’ for YOU, Bass!!..Going for full lowers first..learnin’ what to expect from your experience, buddy..I’m gonna get knocked out….8-)
well of course, it goes without saying…
Hmm: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2014/02/06/Michigan-costumed-crime-fighting-group-split-by-leadership-feud/UPI-76941391725212/
Hi, guys! Is that Mr. Hole still here? I caught him red handed making the next page!
Greetings, Barb! Great to see you!!!
Hi, most honorable Neb!
How have you been? I’ve missed you.
Digging myself out of my depression, mostly. Thanks for that- you are very kind.
I’m still your escort if you plan to attend any parties! Just know though that I won’t escort you to the park if you want to slide down any slides 😉
On second thought I would escort you, but I would have to look away!
Sheeeesh! Let it go, already yet! 😉 I can’t go to parties, but I appreciate your chivalry, Neb!
I’ve been trying for a couple of years to let it go and I can’t 😦
If not a party perhaps a dance?
Sure. I love to imagine a Realm get-together, with music and dancing. 🙂
That would be wonderful! We could all dress up and listen to Big Band Music!
Ha!! Good evening!
Hi, Dood! Good evening to you, as well!
Have you gotten any rain yet? You’re in CA right?
Yes, we have. I don’t know how much, but at this point if somebody would just spit in the reservoir…. !!! It is a welcome respite. I usually detest rain, but not this year! Yeah- I’m in central coast area of N. Cal, about 70 miles from Caller and about 35 miles from Orcas, when he’s down here. 🙂
I’ve heard of you all getting together sometimes! Sounds like fun! I’ve been reading how bad the drought is there! Hope you all get some good relief soon!
It is fun. Those two guys are so nice to me, and fun to hang out with!
I have to admit I’m a bit jealous! There are so many nice and interesting people here!
Badge!! Woo hoo!!!!
Bass! Oh, I feel for you with that dental work. So sorry! I’ve got major tooth problems myself, and I fear it!
4Eyes is in a similar situation… My procedure was long in coming, and will take some adjustments to get used to eating with a denture. Not to mention what it’s doing to my budget!
So I gathered. Sorry for him, too! I really need a bridge up top, and some implants on bottom. Not gonna happen. Even when I had dental ins. at work, I could not afford what my share of the cost would have been. I hate being seen in public with a tooth missing out of my mouth. Hope you feel better real soon!
Thank you… I’m not sure how I’m going to do with this denture, the dentist did tell me there’s a second procedure to get implants and a permanent-denture but not for at least 6-8 months while the jaw heals from all the extractions. I’ve set up a health savings account @work to pay for that pc. but it could take a year or two before I have enough in it to pay for that procedure. The one I just went through was drastic but necessary due to several abscesses… I’m only glad that is nearly over with.
Only consolation I can offer is that I hear dentures and denture products are MUCH better than in the old days. 🙂
Hai, MsBadger!
Hi, Haruko! I really like your rainbow avi. Very nice! And poor Pepe; but at least right now he can’t “give you any lip”, right?
Thank you. I love it.
He already gave at the office! 😆 He doesn’t have much left.
Nobody was hurt, so I can joke. They DO advertise “Flame Broiled”, right?

Hiya, Badgerooni!
Hello, my Squirl! 😉 Good to see you are feeling mo’ bettah, my friend!
I can’t stay 😦 things to cover. Maybe catch you here later this evening?
I will try. 😀 Did you get my e? New Ph#?

Televangelist: Second Civil War inevitable over Obamacare ‘rat poison’
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/02/06/televangelist-second-civil-war-inevitable-over-obamacare-rat-poison/
“Joyner, who has called for a military takeover of the U.S. government and believes Christians should rule over a religious society, suggests extreme measures to stop Obamacare from eroding freedom any further.”
deys a-cumin fer yur liber-teas!!! /em shakes fist!
For some reason that makes me think of Dr. Strangelove….
May I be the first to spit on Joyner’s grave when the time comes…
I’m at the point where I have no patience for these Theocrats.
Screwwwwwww, em.
Ship him to Gitmo…
Hmmm, curious I like how he uses religious society and freedom to be synonymous. Needs to review his separation of church and state.
Greetings, Caller! Thanks for the link!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christofascism
Exactly!
I wonder if people saying, “Execute Obama” in Oklahoma counts as sedition.
Well, contrary to the lyrics of the song.
sometimes it does rain in Southern California.
(Just not often enough.)
It’s been drizzling all day.
Hello, Realm.
Hi tg!
Check this out!…http://whatshouldwecallnursing.tumblr.com/
Hi, dood.
Well, as far as I’m concerned, nursing is a very noble profession, but I’m sure it can be frustrating at times.
You just gotta laugh sometimes!:-)
Definitely.
The CHAMP is here! Move way, make room for the CHAMP!
Hello, neb.
“CHAMP”….. I like it!
How all is well with you.
All is well today! Did you read about the new lineup for the NFL regular season yesterday?
I heard they’re bringing back Saturday night football.
Aside from the Saturday night games,
“The deal calls for CBS to air eight Thursday night games early in the season, with the NFL Network broadcasting eight late in the season. The package will also include a double-header in Week 16, though the destination for those games is still unclear. As reported earlier, the deal spans just the 2014 season, with the NFL holding an option for a second year.”
http://nfl.si.com/2014/02/05/cbs-nfl-thursday-night-football-tv-broadcast/
Hmmmm. I pay extra for the NFL channel. I’ll have to mull this over. Problem is… it’s a pkg deal that includes The Red Zone, and I love The Red Zone.
The Red Zone is a neat channel. I love the idea of a late double header in the final week! That will be exciting for those teams still trying to get into the Playoffs!
Indeed.
I’m kind of going through no football withdrawals right now.
Same here. I’m missing football right now. I did catch the Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Clippers game last night, great game. When Chris Paul gets healthy they will be able to do some damage in the playoffs.
Hi, tg!
Hi, Bass.
It sounds like you’re doing much better.
Good to hear.
It’s been tough, but I see light at the end of the tunnel…
(and other metaphors 😉 )
Hi, TG and Copp and MS!
Hi, msb.
So good to see you.
MsB so happy to see you out and about ! How’s everything out your way ?
Hi, Wave! Back atcha! We have had actual wet stuff falling from the sky here. Last year around this time the creek was FULL. Now it’s pathetic. I hope we get rain for a week, at least!
I hope you guys get some more rain too.
MsB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!8^)

Hi, CBD! Present company is always excepted, here. It does remain applicable to the rest of the world, however! 😀
So you guys got a bit of rain today?
Yeah, last night and earlier today. Nothing right now but grey skies. Drought really frightens me, and it would really be awful; not to mention a disaster for the food basket that is our central valley. A lot of the whole country’s food comes from there.
Frightens me too, msb.
The fire danger alone is scary.
I try not to even think of it. It is absolutely terrifying.

G.I. Joe turned 50 today. I’m not sure how, when I was a kid I had no problems blowing ’em up with fireworks.
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/happy-50th-birthday-gi-joe-180949665/
50??? Geez.
Barbie is 50+ and looks pretty good for her age.
Maybe cuz he has that “kung-fu” grip? 😉 My son had that doll…. er- “action figure.”
I never had the doll, always the little action figures.
One time my brother and my youngest sister got in a fight (she had to be about 5 or 6, he was about 9 or 10). So the family is leaving for a weekend trip and we’re all in the car. My mother asked my brother to make sure the back door was locked. So he hops outta the car and runs out to the backyard to check the door. He comes back to the car in a fit and says he needs to get back in the house. My father is getting impatient and says no we’re leaving now!!
Apparently my sister took my brother’s GI Joe and hung it by the neck naked in his bedroom window. I laughed my ass off for days after that. My baby sister what a ball buster, she didn’t take shit from anyone, LOL
You can’t make this stuff up. All these years later and I still remember how pissed my little brother was.
I love the hell outta that!
I’m still laughing, funnier than hell !
What a great story.
Thanks, I’m sitting here, all these years later and I’m still laughing. Lots of funny stories from a family with five kids.
Didn’t? I hope that hasn’t changed!
I’m really enjoying the Oscar month on TCM.
Some of these classic, back and white, films can’t be beat.
TG, what have you seen so far ?
Well, last night I watched “The Best Years of Our Lives,” and fell asleep during “Notorious.” Tonight they’re showing “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe.” (This film always makes me feel uncomfortable. I guess it’s supposed to.)
Best Years of Our Live, that’s the one that has the war vet with no hands ?
Yes, and what was interesting was today I read about a new type of prosthetic.
“New prosthetic hand adds sense of touch
Device allows amputee to tell shape, adjust grip..”
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2014/feb/06/new-prosthetic-hand-adds-sense-of-touch/ .
Amazing isn’t it ?
It really is.
Those NC rivers just get cleaner and cleaner, not. 🙄

“Dredge the whole river bottom for miles? You can’t clean this up. It’s going to go up the food chain, from the filter feeders, to the fish, to the otters and birds and people. Everything in the ecosystem of a river is connected.”
Just like GE & the Hudson River..Cleaning it up could make it worse..All these polluting companies are killing us….8-)
4E, dija ever have a GI-Joe ?
Nope….8-)
Did your kids ?
Nope….8-)
