WHY HATE RAINBOWS?

Why are there so many
Tweets against rainbows
And flags that are flying high
Rainbows are colorful
They make us happy
So why would you hate them, why?

They are but symbols
Of love and of friendship
And feelings we all should desire

Someday we'll all know
The power of rainbows
And peace love and friendship will grow

Who said majority
Rules a Democracy
Was that a bridge too far
Our Founders thought of it
And voters believed it
Look what has happened thus far

When will division
Be changed to addition
And when will that day set us free?
Wouldn't it be great
If our love could trump hate
And rainbows were for you and me

While you were fast asleep
Some man-child was tweeting
And thinking up nasty nicknames
There are conclusions
That cause his delusions
And push him to make his false claims

But when it comes to
Those beautiful rainbows
And what we all hope to be true
Someday we'll find it
The reason for rainbows
For lovers for dreamers and you!

La di da di da da da
Da di da da do da da roooooooo

FACEBOOK AND CENSORSHIP?

Facebook's new rule to police and possibly remove offensive material, posts, and altered videos etc. may not be the right way to go.
Censorship can be a double edged sword.

To wit: dt's hate speech and hate policies which have been welcomed by the GOP and espoused by the loyal Repub bubbled base has exposed that which was being hidden and sublimated by them in the past.

The solution is staring us in the face if not the Facebook itself!

When a funny, at least as far as I'm concerned, post by Andy Borowitz or Jim Carrey appears it is noted as satire.
If the reader or viewer fails to note it then it's their fault.
And when a post that's aimed at selling something appears, the word "Sponsored" is generally shown below the title.

This practice should not only continue but be expanded to include as many posts as possible.

For example the post that has the Honorable Democratic House Speaker Ms. Nancy Pelosi slurring her speech must include the phrase:
"THIS VIDEO WAS ALTERED BY THE SICK EXTREME RIGHT WING OF THE REPUB PARTY AND DOES NOT REPRESENT REALITY IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!" (Or words to that effect, I may have overstepped. 😉)

Other posts may prove troublesome such as anything by the dt admin, family, or sycophants but in those cases the 'Truth-O-Meter' can be used or 'Pants on Fire' or Pinocchio noses etc. (🤥🤥🤥)

In this way no censorship would be needed and the public could argue about more important things such as:
Do you agree that Bran should be on the Iron Throne or should Sansa be named the rightful ruler of Westeros?

A GREEN NEW APPLE?

When that apple fell on Sir Isaac Newton's head after he presumably said ouch he asked, "Why?"
WHY!
It's a uniquely human thing to do.
When we lose the drive to ask why something happened we also lose the ability to fix it if it's bad or replicate it if good.
WHY?
What caused that apple to fall?
The 'whys' are usually followed by theories, investigations, conclusions and verifications.
This process has no agenda other than finding the cause and effect and getting at the truth.
It is not political, it's science.
And the people who ploy their talents in that field are called scientists.
Scientists DO have an agenda, getting at the truth!
Sir Isaac finally concluded that the Earth had an inherent property that pulled the apple downward.
Gravity!
Gravity caused the apple to fall and gravity keeps us from flying off into space when we jump.
Did the world immediately give Sir Newton the keys to the kingdom.
Of course not.
Many ridiculed him but in the end his shoulders were the platform upon which other scientists stood to reach higher.

That was then but now is now.
Now we have many problems facing us and one of them is causing disasters across the planet.
Storms!
What causes storms to be strong and get stronger and more frequent?
WHY?
Storms are caused by many factors but their strength increases when they form or travel over oceans.

And simply put, the warmer the water the stronger the storm.

What is causing the waters to be warmer now than they ever were in recorded history?

WHY?

There are many factors that are out of our control.

But we may be able to control some. And if so we owe it to ourselves to find ways to reverse the pattern.

It could be hard and take a long time but if we roll up our sleeves and get to work on that which we can control we can slow down the process perhaps long enough for us to find a permanent cure.

But no problem ever got fixed by doing nothing.

Some of our political leaders are talking about a "Green New Deal."

Is this the solution?

Perhaps yes, perhaps no.

BUT IT'S A START!

Are the proponents of this 'new deal' being ridiculed?

Of course they are.

The reasons for the ridicule include honest skepticism from some and dishonest greed upon the part of the industries that like the status quo.

Their bottom lines will be affected by changes suggested therein.

But even that can be worked out to everyone's satisfaction if we work together intelligently, using science and facts.

Gravity is real, and so is climate change and global warming.

And it doesn't take a sledge hammer to prove it when a simple apple can do the job.

THE MATZOH BREI!

I was cooking for the Seder on a quiet moonless night

When suddenly I noticed quite a very odd sight

For suddenly I saw this ghostly image arise

And grab a fork a plate some wine and to my surprise

He ate the Brei

He ate the Matzoh Brei

The Matzoh Brei

I cannot tell you a lie

He ate the Brei

Even though it was dry

He ate the Brei

And then flew up to the sky

I was shaken but not stirred by this fabulous sight

And I knew he would return on the very next night

For ghosts with all their obvious limitations and flaws

Simply must adhere to their quite strict dietary laws

And eat the Brei

They eat the Matzoh Brei

The Matzoh Brei

So I did pile it on high

The Matzoh Brei

I added salt to the fry

The Matzoh Brei

And they smiled and said Bye

I crept down to the kitchen as the day lost its light

Expecting to see more of what I saw the last night

But nothing came to dine upon the evening’s dish

I guess they do not like to eat my gefilte fish!

They just eat Brei

They love that Matzoh Brei

My Matzoh Brei

It’s the one thing they try

The Matzoh Brei

And they won’t eat my pie

The Matzoh Brei

You could laugh till you cry

Eight days had passed and I was looking for a nice roll

When I heard such a frightening sound it did shake my soul

My ghostly guest returned with all his gang a ghastly thing

And handed me some boxes of those chocolate jelly rings

And asked for Brei

They wanted Matzoh Brei

But I said why

And they said Matzoh Brei

I’ll have to buy

We want more Matzoh Brei

And make more Brei

So if you wish to visit and partake of my treat

Come to my home and ring the bell and you too can meet

My new found friend and all his other worldly motley crew

But when the door creeks open smile and say that Moishe

sent you!

To have some Brei

You’ll have some Matzoh Brei

My Matzoh Brei

You’ll sit and then you can try

The Matzoh Brei

So good I think you could die

For Matzoh Brei

And add some jelly it’s dry

My Matzoh Brei!!
