Honor versus victimization:
Well my friends, another week’s end
Where highs and lows now seem to blend.
Because negativity seems the trend.
What kind of message does chaos send?
Why does what we do seem now to offend?
Why from our past does new anger descend?
Why must we always fight to defend,
When Its only caring we want to amend.
Will the grey in skies ever expend?
Will we once again find sunlight to send.
Will the greatest document ever penned,
Remain, so free people can ever depend?
Yes, let’s hope more join to comprehend,
That unity is always our great dividend.
I judge a good crab cake by about how much crab is in it, and not about how spicy you can make too many breadcrumbs.
Can this ebullient market keep on surging?
The Question:
Name the ten most inspiring people. Bonus: Who was Harriet Quimby?

I guess the great USA war I continue to wish we had won was the war on drugs. They are so insidious. They destroy people and neighborhood and maybe even cites alike. They create false economies and irrational choices; they kill and they maim. They seem to inspire false hopes, especially among those who have trouble seeing anything beyond the greyness of their existence. I sympathize dearly with all people caught in that web, and thank my angels above I was never one of them. Though, it may have been only a matter of inches. How do we bring down drug suppliers? That is the trillion dollar question I want answered.
Albert Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” H went on to define its meaning, “For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
“Hate Crime” Bills seem discriminatory to me.
Lucid Motors says its “Air” car can add 300 miles after just 20 minutes of charging.
That is, if you can find a charging station. I was thinking about charging stations last night. Better than who will win The Bachelorette in 2023. I was thinking that hotels on travel routes would be a natural but a big investment to accommodate a lot of EV’s over one night. Would probably need an EV Clerk to shuffle cars. And what would it cost for Hotels to recoup investment plus electricity costs for an overnight charge. (Can you charge it with your Visa or MC? That was a bad joke that just popped in. Sorry!) But, here are the facts I could find. There are about 20,000 charging stations across the USA with 68,000 connectors. Each location averages about 2.85 outlets. It costs about $33 pee 1,000 miles.
In this new world of ours, a person who would rush to a bridge to stop a jumper would likely shout, “No, no, no…don’t jump.” Then he would pull out his phone camera and say, “Ok, now, go!”
Smoking in movies is considered disgusting, but drug use is often romanced.
It is ingesting to hear Democrats say how important it is to update the Supreme court after so many years since original inception, but when they had the leverage, it wasn’t even on their radar screens.
This sudden Dem hysteria over the SC reminds me of the former GM of the Indianapolis Colts, Bill Polien, who demanded the league change the rules every time the NE Patriots beat them for a championship.
It was nice to hear Nancy Lala-Pelosi say yesterday that the progressive attempt to introduce a stacking the court proposal will never see the light of day. But of course, she is the great game player and will wait until Biden’s commission on examining the court system has completed it’s task. And that will become the ubiquitous national debate for our summer when all we want is a good hot dog on a glorious Fourth of July.
Interestingly, a rather significant achievement has been reported that scientists at Purdue U have created the “Whitest Ever Paint” that reflects 98% of the sun’s rays. If, for instance, rooves were pained with it, it is expected that such reflecting power could save energy and fight climate change, if it isn’t declared racist.
The Answer:
This is a list that will probably great many an argument. But we have to start somewhere. They are Isaac Newton, Martin Luthor King Jr., Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Dali Lama, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, and Mother Theresa Bonus: American pilot Harriet Quimby in 1912 was the first woman to fly across the English Channel. She must have been pretty damn inspiring at the time.
You know, it is pretty inane to think you can narrow down all of the people who have inspired walking upon this earth to just ten. What about Jesus, Mohammed, Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Babe Ruth, George Washington, Bach, Marie Curie, Florence Nightingale, Andrew Carnegie, and Shirley Temple…and about tens of thousands more, Including Harriet Quimby.
Have a great weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
