Random Thoughts for June,
2017.
By Robert A. Hall
Feel free to post or forward.
Muslims screaming, “This is for Allah” murder 7 at FIVE
locations in London .
Police unsure of their motives.
Few people have done more harm than "activists."
People go around uttering comforting platitudes that are
patently false. You know: "Everything works out for the best."
"God doesn't give you more than you can handle." "There's a
reason for everything." Okay, explain the holocaust, WWI & WWII, the
Stalin-created famine in the Ukraine ,
the Moa-created famine in China
and, of I don't know, throw in the Black Plague, for starters, all of which
killed many millions of people who didn't think things were working out for the
best.
Because your parents told you that you were special doesn't
mean the world will believe it.
I posted a review on Yelp, using Facebook. It said I was in San Francisco ? And Yelp
started sending me reviews of SF restaurants.
We need severe measures to fight global warming. Let's
outlaw private jets, limos and homes over 10,000 square feet.
They say, "Follow your dream." My dream is to run
a topless bar in Mecca .
They say only the good die young. But I've noticed that the
stupid--those who succumb to food addiction (obesity), alcohol, drug, or
tobacco addictions, and those who indulge in reckless behavior with sex,
driving and other things--kick off far earlier than those who are just good.
Support Planned Parenthood--they keep the black welfare
rolls down. Just as promised.
Went to a local restaurant where we hadn't been for a year
or two, but where I've always loved the clam chowder. It was bland. I asked
them what they changed. The waiter said they took the bacon out. I wonder why
in multicultural Madison
they would do that.
If liberals really thought Islam was a religion of peace,
wouldn't gays be suing Muslim-owned bakeries for not making wedding cakes? They
won't dare, of course.
You are almost unique and just that close to being special.
Pro- and Anti-Trump true believers: "Comey lied about
everything I don't want to be true and told the utter truth about those things
I want to be true."
For some people, "It's all about me and all about
today." But other people stop helping them and avoid them because it's really
about everybody. And tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow roll in to smash them
like waves against a rocky shore. These folks lead poor, sad and unhappy lives.
For which they always blame others.
Note for dealing with BLM, AntiFa, protesters, etc. Giving
in to bullies is like paying Dane Geld. Once you do, you never get rid of the
bully and the demands go up and up.
Some folks are generous beyond their means.
I've had 3 or 4 friends go dark on Facebook and email, not
responding. Worrisome, as I have no phone numbers.
Hillary Clinton must be experiencing a deep sense of
satisfaction. Trump got elected promising the faithful he would appoint a
Special Prosecutor to investigate her. Five months in, it's Trump, not Hillary,
being investigated by a Special Prosecutor.
Headline, Wisconsin State Journal, June 18, 1867: "New
fuel could make it too hot for polar bears." Excerpt: "With the aid
of petroleum (replacing coal on ships), we may yet make our northwestern
possessions too hot for the polar bear." Settled science, you know.
Been working on my genealogy on MyHeritage. Turns out Al Gore
is my 13th great grandfather in one line. Robert Algore that is.
It's a mystery to me how the United
States managed to defeat the great military power of Germany and Japan in WWII without women and
transgenders in combat.
A jerk in England
rammed a crowd of Muslims, killing one. Of course, the Muslims blamed "Islamophobia."
So when Muslims slaughter Christians and Jews, is in
"infidelophobia"?
The Most Liberating Epiphany is When You Realize "It's
Not About Me". --EM
Have perversions and bigotry against certain groups
(Christians, whites, men) become civil rights?
Otto Warmbier's death should remind people that it's dumb to
travel to countries that are hostile to the united States . For any reason.
You don't have to carry a gun. But make it easy on the
police and carry your own body chalk.
I'm going to join the Corvette Club of America. I don't own
a Corvette, but my Outlander SUV self-identifies as one.
Before (and long after) the Civil war, slave owners argued
that blacks were unfit for freedom or self-governance. Too many of today's
black seem to be trying to prove them right. Slave owners, for example, passed
laws against the education of blacks. Inner-city blacks who disparage education
as "acting white" are doing as the slave owners would have
wished--preventing blacks from being educated.
School is in session everyday. Doesn't matter how old you
are, you should - and must - be learning new things. And everyone you meet can
teach you things you don't know--even if it's how not to behave to avoid a
crappy life.
I've had a lot of success in life. An important component of
that is simply being a reliable person when so many are not.
From Jonah Goldberg: “I’m laughing
my Ossoff,” about the GA-6 special election.

Old age is when everything gets stiff. Well, almost
everything.
"It is impossible to maintain discipline without a
revolver." --Leon Trotsky, 1919
There's an easy way to eliminate the student debt crisis in
the future. Pass a law that if a graduate doesn't find work in his/her field,
after a good faith effort, in one year, the university has to assume 20% of the
student debt. It then goes up 20% a year to 100% after six years. This would
bring both tuition increases and the practice of educating kids in unmarketable
majors (think those that end in "studies") to a screeching halt. As a
bonus we'd all get to enjoy the agonized howls of academia.
Pacifism is acquiescence to evil.
When you see a sign advertising "home cooking,"
trust me--it's not home cooked.
