Gun Rights pale in comparison to another right the Right to Life

For all those wanna-be bad asses in America that think the only way to solve a problem is behind the butt of a gun, let me ask you a few questions.  The true meaning of ownership is that which you can take with you wherever you go even in death and since none of the material things you covet, you are able to do that with, what is it that you truly own.  In death, all you will be able to take with you is your soul so why is it not the most important possession to protect?  Why do we pretend that what we purchase is worth the life of another person when it is not something we can take with us where ever we go and why is it so important to pretend to care about the plight of man on one hand while pulling that trigger on another man from the other?  How many of you would be willing to be responsible for the taking of 10 lives simply because you were so set on ridding the world of all those who don’t think or act like you.

I asked this because I ran into this article titled “Iran releases detained US sailors written by Barbara Morrill for the Daily Kos and in it she reports that “Iran has released two United States Navy patrol boats and 10 crew members who were described as “trespassing” in Iranian waters near a major naval base, state news media reported on Wednesday.  The Pentagon and the State Department said that one of the boats had experienced mechanical problems en route to Bahrain from Kuwait on a routine mission on Tuesday, and the Iranians appeared to have accepted that explanation.  The release was announced shortly before 10 a.m. on an Iranian state-run news channel, IRINN. “The detained U.S. Marines, after it was realized that their entry into Iran’s territorial waters was unintentional, and after the Marines apologized, were released into international waters in the Persian Gulf,” the channel reported, attributing the statement to the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.  Secretary of State John Kerry expressed:  his “gratitude to Iranian authorities for their cooperation in quickly resolving this matter. … That this issue was resolved peacefully and efficiently is a testament to the critical role diplomacy plays in keeping our country safe, secure, and strong.”

Now I understand your position that believes if our military is seen as so strong that no other country would dare to mess with us, let me ask you to try and understand this.  All that is bull and we all know it.  You see, there will always be someone making attempts to be the biggest bully on the hill and if that is your position right now, rest assured someone will attempt to remove you and replace you.  This happens in all things right now.  We see our boss in a position of power and strive to reach that position.  We see the bully in the playground and work very hard to unseat him/her so that we could enjoy what we perceive that they are enjoying.  We see the rich being able to buy and sell whatever and whenever they want and we play the lottery and work our fingers to the bone to one day are able to do the same.  For those who are still not convinced that possibly there is a better way to still achieve all that you wish to achieve without it costing us our souls, I ask you to consider this.


Could it be that you still wish to saber-rattle because the cost of life is not your own?  Could it be that you have taken so many lives that one more would not matter to you and the 10 crew members saved by taking the diplomacy approach was expendable.  Can you look into the eyes of those parents, family and friends of those you would have revenged and explain to them that a few minutes of diplomacy could have brought those mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers back to them unharmed but you think it’s best to shoot first and ask questions later?  Please forgive us weaklings who think that having only true ownership of our soul and making sure to protect that one and only real possession, that wishing to sit down and talk instead of thirty paces is best.  It’s easy to sit back and declare we should make parking lots out of any country that do not agree with us but ask yourself this.  Whose son, daughter, mother, father, sister or brother is going to have to make that happen, since it surely won’t be you?

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that I must go on

The Determination of History to Repeat Itself is Due to our Cowardice to Stop It

  America has always been the land of opportunity however we have become lax in our efforts to ensure that this right is made available for all of us to achieve and enjoy.   Far too often, those who see themselves in a position of authority or great wealth begin to confuse themselves with an idea that since you may be thought of as successful, means your now have the power and authority to dictate to everyone else. This lying power makes those allowed to flex it feel bigger and better than they really are.   It gives them a false sense of righteousness and security over all people, places, and things which must be corrected before we completely lose our very humanity. Every last one of us knows this is wrong but history has allowed these individuals to exercise this false position of power without consequences and punishment. Every one of us is guilty of sitting on our hands and waiting on someone else to save us instead of finding our own intestinal fortitude to save ourselves.   We

Something to Think About Regarding These State’s Abortion Bans

  According to an article titled “The Conversation- A concise history of the US abortion debate, by Treva B. Lindsey, Professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies, The Ohio State University, Published: June 10, 2019, https://theconversation.com/a-concise-history-of-the-us-abortion-debate-118157 . History has again been totally ignored and the lesson lost.   This being the case, it bears out the great need for educated people to finally diagnose history as it happens and make the necessary changes to ensure that this particular piece of history is not constantly repeated. Consider this, “While many may think that the political arguments over abortion now are fresh and new, scholars of women’s, medical and legal history note that this debate has a long history in the U.S.   It began more than a century before Roe v. Wade. As of 2019 “around 1962 the Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercially produced birth control pill, Enovid-10. Although various forms of b
