Is that man a man, or a woman masquerading playing a role?
Is that woman a woman, or a man masquerading playing a role?
Is that man or woman a deviant, who is masquerading for a purpose?
Parents worry for their children over many things, now they have one more.

Goal: Sterilize everything in sight.
Nature: Urgent! -
You make your mark and then expire. You came, you lived, you died. There is no steady, no flow, no continuance. Unless you make an indelible mark, once you expire, the book is closed, and may never be opened again.
Less than a flash, more like a sparkle, your length of existence is deplorably short. It seems such a waste to invest effort in establishing improvement, when, after remarkedly little time, you will be gone and forgotten.
The mighty sun that controls the orbits of many planets lasts billions of years. The Earth itself has been approximated at 4.5 billion. Life may have begun shortly after the solidifying of the planet. Macro life, much younger, is still estimated over 500 million years.
There is no strong continuance. One generation leaves some information for the next, but then they die, taking the nuances with them. It’s like each generation scrapes the scum from the top of the vat, all the details below being consigned to oblivion. Information accumulates, yet one life is inadequate to assimilate it all, no one man is capable of knowing all that has been learned, much less have time to add to it.
How does humanity improve from generation to generation? A record of what has been learned has been scribed. A fragile pool of information, vulnerable to the next catastrophe. If another asteroid comes at this early date all could be lost. It must be admitted that if no one survives, no one can learn from the information… If there is any recovery, whatever intelligence that follows, will have to start anew.
You have to wonder if life is just an exercise in futility. -
Humans seem extremely self-harming. The use of substances that directly do harm to their frail bodies seems to be insane.
There are many substances that interact with the biological processes within the body. Some of these substances are proven safe and help to improve the well-being of the body. Others, though mildly affecting, do harm. Still others are downright dangerous.
There are medications, there are stimulants, that have been used safely for many years:
1. Caffeine.
2. Aspirin and other pain medications.
Some substances are safe in regulated doses. Many are hallucinogens, or produce effects that are illusionary. Some make you feel strong, others merely strange. These that produce such marked effects are dangerous. The majority produce either psychological or physical addiction.
The mystery is why they will do this to themselves, even knowing they will deteriorate. Why would any sane person even try something that will cause degradation?
Perhaps they are seeking something to help them to endure the hardships of life, or to ease the boredom and humdrum. There really is a choice involved. The human could choose a physical activity, perhaps read a new book, engage in a sport like skiing, bowling, or even croquet. Anything but administering lethal substances to create artificial escapes.
No, many choose the “low road”. Myriad illegal and legal drugs are chosen and abused. The greatest “high” is sought. Many times they soar so high, they die.
Instead of striving in the real world to better their state, they seek betterment with illusionary effects produced by drugs. What has to be asked is: are they mentally unbalanced? Are they insane? What drives these pitiful human beings to hasten their demise? -
Christians, Muslims, and Jews, plus others, have had thousands of years to prove the existence of their gods. Charlatans were plentiful, but others were extremely fervent believers. They were desperate to prove that their god, was god… the only god.
Thousands of years have past. No believer has ever proven the existence of their god. If it were possible, if their god existed, at least one fervent believer would have succeeded during those years.
No god has ever been shown to exist even in the slightest. This would make gods merely mental constructs. Human imagination is very powerful. Humans… made gods to replace their parents after their deaths.
Conclusion: Despite arguments to the contrary, the lack of evidence, the inability to present evidence, is positive proof of the non-existence of gods.
Go ahead and die if you wish, oblivion awaits. -
What if “this is it”? What if there is no soul that carries on beyond death. You die and you are dead, from that point no awareness, no consciousness, just nothing… a nothing you are not even aware of. Life would be considered precious.
Religion offers the promise of eternal life. Paradise without end. At least they think that.
What value would this life, this organic life we live that lasts less than 100 years? How does this life, the only one we have, compare to eternity?
To exercise maximum control over its subjects, religion must have you ready to sacrifice your life in service to it. If your life is cheap here, then you won’t mind losing it, as you will then enter a new life for eternity. Religion cheapens this life.
Religion paints itself as pure, totally good. It hides behind this veneer to lure its victims. In reality, religions, all religions… are evil. Any religion that can elicit behavior from its subjects, in effect, directing them, is evil incarnate. The leaders, of course, being human, will never fail to direct the followers to assume their causes, their self-interests. They promise paradise eternal. They deliver war and suffering.
Religions carry negative value. They always have.

Humans do not need science, or actively reject it, when emotions override reason. Although society will not permit me to be frank, there are many instances where groups have insisted on acceptance, and even though science has not proven their existence, they demand it. They have threatened, they have rioted, they will be accepted as legitimate, regardless of their lack of basis for same.
This has occurred many times. Some forget that these illegitimate groups have been elevated to legitimacy through coercion. It continues today. People who formally were considered liberal are labeled as bigots and shamed into silence. To hold a contrary view of this is not permitted by politically correct society. So it is, all groups are closeminded about some things. Narrow minded is usually the domain of the far right. You can suddenly acquire the narrow-minded label merely by questioning the legitimacy of some facts.
This post is vague. It is so on purpose. This is to hopefully avoid being torched out of house and home.

Due to cannabis products of greater potency the risks of addiction and psychosis are increased. Also, the availability of this drug promotes the idea that it is safe. However, it is not safe. Some of the negative effects can have a lifelong impact on health. Adolescence, the teenage years, when the brain is undergoing rapid changes, is an extremely risky time for cannabis use.
The pre-frontal cortex is altered by THC. This area of the brain that is important for solving problems and emotional control experiences accelerated thinning due to cannabis use.
The risk of depression and ideas of suicide are doubled in teen users of THC. Those that used it daily were more likely to develop dependence and use other drugs and attempt suicide.
The risk of schizophrenia is also related to cannabis use.
Another affliction called cannabis hyperemesis syndrome that leads to nausea, abdominal pain, and repeated retching can result from use of high potency cannabis.

The cowards sit back, afraid to act, afraid to contradict a fascist. We know who to blame should the United States become a dictatorship led by an immoral man, a thief, a greedy and crude man. We of America know that these sheep are being threatened… with what we don’t know as they meekly keep their silence.
The Republican Party is a party shepherded by a madman intend to destroy a Democracy: the U.S.A.
It doesn’t matter what you vote… voting doesn’t matter anymore. When the madman loses, which he will, he will claim he was cheated, that it was stolen from him, that he really won. Then once again, the insurrectionists will appear in hordes to do his bidding. They all know, they know very well, that his orders, Trump’s orders, come from Moscow.
Serving the people or the will of the people, means nothing to Republicans. Power is their only idol. In absence of power, they would rather the country fell. Causing misery does not deter them. If that were the case they would never have invalidated Roe vs Wade. They hide behind the cloak of religion, in this case Christianity. Their intent is clear… to forcibly convert everyone to their beliefs. There is only one other thing that they will allow, in place of conversion, and that is your death.
Yes, the only thing that Trump can do to help America now is to die. It seems though, that evil doesn’t die. Despite looking like a man who died several weeks ago, a man who can’t remember his own name half the time, a stumblebum and clown, he continues. The foolish still support him. He is determined to tear down their very support systems, and they applaud. Many on Social Security still wear his hat and fly his flag. When they feel the knives entering their backs… someone remind them that it was they that pushed them in.
If by some chance the U.S. survives this round, there is always the next round as these evil people will never go away.
