". . . Since the pandemic began, many conservatives have insisted that actions to limit the death toll — social distancing, wearing a mask and now getting vaccinated — should be matters of personal choice. Does that position make any sense? . . . driving drunk is also a personal choice. But almost everyone understands that it’s a personal choice that endangers others; 97 percent of the public considers driving while impaired by alcohol a serious problem. Why don’t we have the same kind of unanimity on refusing to get vaccinated, a choice that helps perpetuate the pandemic and puts others at risk? . . . "

Mambo . . .

. . . eh, not really 


I'm not trying to mislead you
In the making of this post.
The song is real. The effort too.
Your interest to gain, I crave at most.

The tune was actually well conceived,
Written, recorded years ago; was complete. 
Only now, using software, so nicely conceived,
Am I able to create this nice sheet.

This sheet, with two and a half in addition,
Does is take to show you the whole anthem. 
Unbelievable feat it is not to be sure,
But quite possibly this starts you dancing

Ring . . .

https://unsplash.com/s/photos/bell
. . . in the rightness . . . 

Surrounded by a force
Making all things new
You are safe you are whole
Nothing goes askew
There comes a day when you know
Just where you belong
When you act from this place
Nothing can go wrong

Ring in the rightness
Create it yourself
Ring in the rightness
Renew the face of this earth

Unwell . . .

 . . . or confused

http://clipart-library.com/delusion-cliparts.html

(from https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/07/mike-lindells-plot-destroy-america/619593/ with many thanks to Frank DiVenti)
". . . (Pillow Guy Mike)Lindell’s thinking contains a large dose of Christian millenarianism too. This is a man who had a vision in a dream of himself and Donald Trump standing together—and that dream became reality. No wonder he believes that a lot of things are going to happen after August 10. It’s not just that the Supreme Court will vote 9–0 to reinstate Trump. It is also that America will be a better place. “We’re going to get elected officials that make decisions for the people, not just for their party,” Lindell said. There will be “no more machines” in this messianic America, meaning no more voting machines: “On both sides, people are opening their eyes.” In this great moment of national renewal, there will be no more corruption, just good government, goodwill, goodness all around. . .He will not, on August 10, find that “the experts” agree with him. Some have already provided careful explanations as to why the “packet captures” can’t be what he says they are. Others think that the whole discussion is pointless. When I called Chris Krebs, the Trump administration’s director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, he refused even to get into the question of whether Lindell has authentic data, because the whole proposal is absurd. The heavy use of paper ballots, plus all of the postelection audits and recounts, mean that any issues with mechanized voting systems would have been quickly revealed. “It’s all part of the grift,” Krebs told me. “They’re exploiting the aggrieved audience’s confirmation bias and using scary yet unintelligible imagery to keep the Big Lie alive, despite the absence of any legitimate evidence.". . . He is our country after all, or one face of our country: hyper-optimistic and overconfident, ignorant of history and fond of myths, firm in the belief that we alone are the exceptional nation and we alone have access to exceptional truths. Safe in his absolute certainty. . . "

Slowride . . .

https://www.fastcashforcars.ca/blog/2018/09/22/fast-c
ash-for-cars-buy-junk-cars-for-sale/

I got in my car,
But had nowhere to go.
Saw a few friends
On the corner I know.
Told 'em 'get in the car'
Leave the grass to just grow.
We're takin' a ride
But it's gonna be slow.

Sensible . . .

https://www.pinterest.ch/pin/294282156871862881/

(from https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/07/27/mike-enzi-retired-wyoming-republican-senator-dies-after-bike-crash/5383267001/ and thanks to Pamela)
". . . Retired Sen. Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican known as a consensus-builder in an increasingly polarized Washington, has died. He was 77. . . His “80-20 rule” called on colleagues to focus on the 80% of an issue where legislators tended to agree and discard the 20% where they didn’t. . . “Nothing gets done when we’re just telling each other how wrong we are,” Enzi said in his farewell address to the Senate in 2020. “Just ask yourself: Has anyone ever really changed your opinion by getting in your face and yelling at you or saying to you how wrong you are? Usually that doesn’t change hearts or minds.”. . . "
