Don’t mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me.

I’ve been saying for years “they” want to kill us. Nowadays, they call it depopulation. Scary thought but makes sense because resources are getting scarce and who wants to relocate millions of displaced people when their homes go under water? Or go up in flames?

“It is a popular fact that nine-tenths of the brain is not used and, like most popular facts, it is wrong. Not even the most stupid Creator would go to the trouble of making the human head carry around several pounds of unnecessary grey goo if its only real purpose was, for example, to serve as a delicacy for certain remote tribesmen in unexplored valleys. It is used. And one of its functions is to make the miraculous seem ordinary and turn the unusual into the usual.”

I agree. I use 9/10’s of my brain constantly for my bottomless pit of useless information. The other 1/10 I use for important stuff !!

All things find a use eventually: I managed to use the fact that St. Ambrose being able to read without moving his lips was shocking at the time today.

Huh? I guess I’m not familiar with St. Ambrose but it sounds like a fun giphy

I was thinking about the Terry Pratchett quote you posted. At one time man dreamed of going to the moon as something miraculous and near impossible. Now we’re transporting paying customers to outer space. I bet the first toilets were considered an unusual household addition. Look at it now!

Your quote prompted me to look further into Sitting Bull’s life and history. A magnanimous man whose plight saddens me. It seems that quote was made around 1876. In 1890 he was shot in the chest and head and killed, ironically during an attempted arrest by Lakota policeman.

Your reply reminded me of the earliest tales of going to the moon. The 17thC ideas of capturing dew and using geese in The Empires and States of the Moon always brings a smile.
