Remember To Board Up Your Windows

Remember to board up your windows. Election day is nearly here, and if the party of peace, love, and tolerance loses, hatred and destruction may rule the land. This is a natural by product of the loss of peace, love, and tolerance of course, and is in no way attributable to the party that promotes and supports those virtues. Any suggestion that it does just proves how hateful and destructive you are. But because such hatred and destruction does exist, it is prudent to board up your windows, and possibly even paint some well-known slogans on them, telling everybody how peaceful, loving, and tolerant you are. You also may want to purchase some garden seeds. They end up being unavailable to purchase at the darndest times.

Remember To Check Your Plumbing

Remember to check your plumbing. Leaks can happen at the most pesky of times, as seen so often at night. Especially in the first couple weeks of November, when the cold weather starts to come in. It is so sad to see so many people and places unprepared for these cold snaps, especially in places where they are counting votes. I’ve seen so many counting places have to stop the count because the pipes froze and broke and water went everywhere and they just had to protect the workers and the ballots. So look ahead. Be proactive. Check your plumbing. Make sure your heat tape works if you are in a climate that needs it. Test for leaks. No one wants to see the vote count delayed because of poor plumbing, right?

They Say We Are Dangerous

If you listen to the Democrats this election cycle, the only important issue is abortion, and every Republican is on the Wrong Side of that issue. We are dangerous to their women, children, and grand children. Our beliefs are unforgivable. We are absolutely wrong. We cannot be trusted. We are far too extreme to be allowed power. We Cannot Be Allowed To Win. They say this publicly, on the open airwaves. They shout it in every commercial break. And that is when they aren’t calling us racist, homophobic, insurrectionist, mega double-Nazis. One has to ask, if they actually believe everything they say about us, wouldn’t it be right to do anything to stop us from winning? Wouldn’t that make cheating to win a moral act?

My Body, My Choice

My Body, My Choice is a phrase the abortion industry and protesters have used all my life to very good effect, because it makes a lot of sense. It fits our ideals of liberty for all, of bodily autonomy, and all that goes with that. It has a lot of power, because it sounds good. The problem is that it rests upon a deep inequality. In generations past, our society accepted the idea that some humans were less human than others, with fewer rights. The line was skin color back then, and our laws allowed ownership of humans of a certain skin color, and killing them was protected. Today the laws differentiate based on age and residence. All are wrong. My Body, My Choice must apply to all, or it will mean nothing.

Amnesty

I read the recent Atlantic article calling for Pandemic Amnesty, for all of us “to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about Covid.” The problem with that call is that there are those who knowingly lied to us and violated the laws. They were not in the dark. They violated the Nuremberg Code, designed to stop us from repeating literal Nazi practices. Some sent the sick to nursing homes to kill the elderly in job lots. Others demanded we stop giving medical treatments that worked. They shut down hospitals, businesses, schools, parks, and beaches. They demanded we take experimental injections and banned us from our livelihoods if we did not. Justice must stand, or amnesty will merely be permission to do all of it again.
