So I shall continue on with this thread as I am not sure if it is worthy of another. But have any of you malcontents out there stopped to think about the wonder that is our current situation? We have electricity that we can flick on with the turn of the switch, does anyone stop to think about where that power originates? Or even care as long as it comes on. We have heating and cooling that come through inventions of modern physics, chemistry, metallurgy, and science that both both warm and cool at the turn of the switch as long as one has the resources to pay the utility bills. Does anyone really stop to think about that? And the miracles it really involves.

I know some do but most don’t. What about turning on the faucet and being able to drink potable water that won’t kill you or at least make you sick. What about being able to pull the lever and flush the toilet where all of that nasty stuff goes “somewhere”. Where does it go? Who gives a [censored] as long as it just goes away. By the way it goes away to the King of the Turd world. I know that guy, he was a friend of mine. And whoever thinks about that? Just flush it and be disposed of it.

My mother who was born and raised on a small farm in Saskatchewan had to walk to the outhouse guided by a string whilst it was 40 below to do her business. I am sure that business was conducted very quickly but she had to hold the string to find her way back to the house so she would not get lost and freeze to death. Have any of you folks ever thought about such a thing? I didn’t as I grew up in Hawaii and heard her stories in astonishment.

I could continue but I think it’s time that all of us who live in this modern world should give thanks for all the stuff that we take for granted that we don’t even stop to think about from day to day. Shoot me tomorrow,

I might be grateful if you did that.

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
