    At least this time an American President will not just throw paper towels at Puerto Ricans, also not want to swap Puerto Rico for Greenland, not say “This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we've ever seen, from the standpoint of water”, and also not say that Puerto Rico “is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water”.

      ABC The seed that sees. All too familiar is your point but it opens up discussion about the larger issue of why this stance seems to be so popular. It represents a kind of individualism America is ostensibly used to stand for. You can be whatever and the greatest. Mohamad Ali used to say, "Im the greatest" all the time and we believed him. People love to tout and publicize their accomplishments. To be famous in America almost seems like the zenith of status. I see all this as the dark side of the concept of individualism within the original American ideology. I have no idea where we are right now. Mish mosh of alliances to a plethora of issues.

    In 1977 a comic strip appeared here in the UK called Judge Dredd. The character lived in a futuristic city called Mega-City 1 and one of the things they had in the city was Resyke ... where the dead went to have their bodies recycled into usable components. I never thought I'd live long enough to witness it start to happen for real.

    • @jschuler53
      @jschuler53 Před rokem

      UK. I remember Judge Dredd. They've been having Green Funerals for a while now. No embalming, just wrap the person in a shroud and throw them under a tree or somewhere. I believe you have to buy the land or it has to be designated. But really, who would know? Even in a cemetery? If you see someone digging you don't know if they have a permit or not. I always thought burial was a waste of space and we're running out of it. I think it's a terrific idea and natural. I always though emalming was creepy and so was viewing a dead body. You could and should be able to bury your loved ones in your back yard like we used to do. If they do the composting thing I bet the funeral industry will try to make a big song and dance about it; designating LEGAL places where you can dispose of it when it's compost. I hope not. You probably can't do it yourself either. Which I find odd. Checking for murders?

    While yes.. the last #POtuS was a void across the board.. He had it in for us since the 1980s when he tried to bust up any formation of unions in his casinos. He was successful until #PuertoRicans 🇵🇷 working in his casinos made it impossible for him to do so by getting his casinos unionized.😁 Notice how he berated #AOC until he found out she was #PuertoRican 🇵🇷 .. then quietly stopped. Yes. We R very accomplished Activists & #FreedomFighters .. We do not play the 'white' supremacy narrative. We R the Human race.. Not a color but COLORS.💞 We come in many, many colors.. from cream to ebony & everything inbetween. We R all #PuertoRican 💞 & well known though racists try to discredit us all. the. time.😐 However, the #Truth #Facts & our sense of fair play stand the passage of time. This is a common thread among most #Caribbean people & speaks for itself.✌🏾🌹💞🌹
    BTW, #USCongress delayed #USAID to us in 2017 even though we pay Federal taxes annually, but cannot cast our #vote 4 the next #POTUS 😐 as a "U.S. territory" but it's okay to send us to the frontlines in every war the U.S. has waged in the 20th & 21st centuries & to turn your backs on us while seated in Congress. We were the canary in the mines. That "void" went on to plan a coup attempt on the U.S. Capitol & to turn his back on people afflicted with COVID. We also extended private security to #AOC just in case something went down long b4 this coup attempt was tried b/c we know words with a racist undertow tend to end in violence. The good news is that #AOC is still in Congress with her colleagues.💜
    I love my country, but I understand my Ancestors then & my relatives today were building #America and NEVER #Amerikkka but we can't do everything people : PULL THAT DAMN PLUG. Let #racism #sexism & other -isms die as they will. Yes. We have a few dummies shouting & repeating 'white' supremacist lies, but the majority of people have the sense to understand their minds R free. We R not voids. We R #Americans & we can #vote these "voids" out. We R one big COLORFUL #Humanity & that is indeed a beautiful thing. ✌🏾🌹💞🌹

      It came as a dark liquid, not really licorice flavored, the other was strawberry, not our favorite.
      The high level of codeine eventually was made illegal. Homeless people were using it.
