Virtue (Blogophilia 51.4)


Virtue is defined as a pattern or thought or behavior based on high moral standards.
So, isn’t a virtue choked with something hypocritical?
Like me eating other delicious hot Krispy Kreme doughnut, while bemoaning my waist?
And dreaming of camping by the Grand Coulee dam, only to while my time here at the screen?
Waste and sloth are not high moral standards in any religion.
Even Atheists hate them.
Maybe I should be doing something else?

    Somethings are hypocracy while others are just the basic contradictions built into our nature. I enjoy sweets and would like to weigh less: a contradiction - one can out weigh the other depending on the day or the mood. I don't think that is hypocracy, just being human.

    finger pointing .... even at one's self... is only compounding the blame of chocking up one's virtue.... delegating is a cause not a solution.... makes you think Christopher... Fascinating read..

In Honor of Al Jaffee

The image below is probably the most politically incorrect graphic the great comic artist Al Jaffee ever produced. Originally published in a special issue of MAD magazine in 1971, it brought protests for its seeming disrespectful tone. It even launched a brief FBI investigation into possible political subversion.  So, why am I bringing it up? 2 reasons. First, Mr. Jaffee just celebrated his 95th birthday. Second, In all of the turmoil of the Election, it is important that the pledge be for all people. Not just the moneyed elite. More importantly, to weed out infection the poisons of bigotry by all people need to be aired. Burying thoughts and ideas through euphemisms and language discussion allow the opinions to fester. The quote "Just because you silence a man does not mean you convert him" very much applies. Donald Trump has made efforts to silence his critics. His critics have made a double effort to silence. him. And nothing gets done.

The Date (Blogophilia 13.5)

So, here she was at Manuel’s, her usual fifteen minutes early.   A quick glance to make sure the lipstick line was still straight.   Satisfied, the compact disappeared into the leather purse.   Kari hadn’t been this nervous meeting anyone in quite a long time.   But then, it had been at least 20 years since she had been on a blind date.   What will he look like?   All Mary told her was he was a bachelor with a paying job and no kids.    Nothing about how old, or whether he was a slob or a crackhead.   Not even the guy’s name.   Only that she thought Kari would enjoy his company.     Just be at there at 5:30. Sipping on her gimlet, it seemed like she had never left.   The Musak was mostly Sinatra and the political types still hung to their tables like they were still in high school.   Tony, the manager, gave her a peck when he saw her and said she could come back to work any time.   No.   She’d had enough of slinging swill and dealing with the obnoxious, of stepping over the hoo
