Wasted . . .

. . . time . . .



I've wasted a lot of time in my life, more so in my youth than recently.  Any honest person must admit the same, and I guess that's to be expected. I would venture to say that we've all in the past, and will in the future, waste time here and there.  But I have never wasted four entire months, and even if I did, it would have been MY time and NOT the time of an entire country!!!

WTF!!!

Dear . . .

. . . Congressman. . .

Writing to ask you to take the leadership in having Congress begin the process of writing some ethics laws which WILL apply to the office of President of the United States and his staff.  “You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.”
wrote James Madison in The Federalist Papers. True, all of our Presidents, until now, possessed the principles necessary to understand the immense responsibility they undertook with the office. But alas, this is 2017 and that is no longer a fact.

Please help the good people of this country, and future generations, to ensure that holders of the highest office in the land are held to the standard which any moral being would naturally subscribe.
This is important because we now know, beings other than moral ones can actually be elected to this office.

Possibly . . .

. . . old news, but . . .



(https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brood-awakening-17-year-cicadas-emerge-4-years-early/)
". . . Swarms of cicadas are unexpectedly crawling out from under trees from North Carolina to New Jersey. . . they chirp en masse for their mates, producing a relentless, shrill buzz that is recognized as a song of summer. And within a month they are gone. . . Different populations, or broods, of “periodical” cicadas emerge in distinct geographical regions during specific years, after spending a 13- or 17-year span growing underground. . . Scientists were expecting to see Brood VI bugs in South Carolina and Georgia, which happened, but they got a surprise when Brood X cicadas also started appearing in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Ohio and Indiana last week—four years earlier than anticipated. . . Experts suspect a warming climate, with more warm weeks a year during which the underground nymphs can grow, could be triggering some cicadas to emerge ahead of their brood. . . "

Burning . . .

Do you mean you were just lying there?

Out of reach of anyone who cares

They have bound you with their loving arms

In the distance I still hear you sound the alarm



Can you see yourself more clearly now?

As if you stepped out of a cloud

Beginning when it seems to end

Above below merging



Your mind doesn't feel

Your fingers don't think

Your eyes do not touch

While the heartbeat goes skipping away



It's now and then you're living

While you wait start the giving

Prove it it's always there

Burning grey without its flare



Obligated but one hand is tied

Constant chattering within your mind

How to leave it no one cares

To hear the silly language spoken there



There's a love that empties its own veins

As they spend they fill up again

The flow traffics through eternity

Carries on in all purity



Now you feel and you think

You see and you touch

With a matrix that springs from your heart

To your hands through your head

Burning grey

Alternative . . .

. . . grammar doesn't exist EITHER. . .


(http://thewritepractice.com/how-to-use-either-neither-or-and-nor-correctly/)
". . . My mother . . . bought me the book I Judge You When You Use Poor Grammar. (By the way, it is equally correct to say “bad grammar.”) . . . Either is always paired with or, and neither is always paired with nor.  If you are matching either and nor, I hate to break it to you, but you’re doing it wrong.  Additionally, nor is generally not used where neither is not also used. . . example:“I fear man nor beast!” Jay proclaimed as Frank stared at the python coiled on the branch over his head. (Wrong.)
“I fear neither man nor beast!” Jay proclaimed as Frank stared at the python coiled on the branch over his head. (Right!) . . . Either is used when you are making a comparison between two ideas, and only one of the ideas will come to pass. Example . . . “Well,” said Frank, “either you start fearing, or you are camping by yourself.” . . . "

More Facts . . .

. . . to IGNORE . . .


(from http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-paris-agreement-science-research-wrong-misunderstood-latest-a7768296.html)
". . . Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) officials have said US President Donald Trump badly misunderstood their research when he cited it to justify withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. . . "Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100 . . . Tiny, tiny amount." . . . The Cambridge, Massaschusetts-based research university published a study in April 2016 titled "How much of a difference will the Paris Agreement make?" showing that if countries abided by their pledges in the deal, global warming would slow by between 0.6 degree and 1.1 degrees Celsius by 2100. . . "If we don't do anything, we might shoot over 5 degrees or more and that would be catastrophic," said John Reilly, the co-director of the program, adding that MIT's scientists had had no contact with the White House and were not offered a chance to explain their work. . ."


(from http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kerry-trump-decision-abdication-of-responsibility/)
He (John Kerry, former Secretary of State) accused Mr. Trump of "unilaterally walking backwards from science and backwards from leadership on behalf of polluters and fringe ideologues," and said it "may be the most self-defeating action in American history."
