Regarding the wall.
I think we have missed the point. The emphasis of the press and academics should be on the reaction to the wall, the psychology and the history.
Walls in China, Germany, North Korea create societies which become dictatorial or worse. The wall is a state of mind that makes a country turn in on itself.
That's why the opposition is so viseral. Now it's time to explain that to folks.
The journey from a Democratically run government to a Dictatorial one is a process. This does not happen from one day to the next.
One of the first things that has to happen is to empty cabinet positions and leave them unfilled. And if there are no people to make those decisions guess what?
All decision making refers to the top and when there is only one man at the top plus his family members Voila! That makes a dictatorial regime.
California Just Officially Banned The Sale Of Animal-Tested Cosmetics!!!!!!!
Yeah California. Law Leaders
The new law is the first of its kind in the United States.
This is HUGE. It is something I have been working toward all my life and the day has finally arrived. Not only will animal testing be banned but the companies that take their tests to China will have their products banned as well.
There are blessings and good will to go around for all God's creatures great and small. This is the best Xmas gift I have ever had.
Please give to PETA this Holiday Season.
California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed a landmark bill into law on Friday aimed at banning the sale of cosmetics that have been tested on animals.
The California Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Act, authored by Democratic state Sen. Cathleen Galgiani, prohibits manufacturers to “import for profit, sell, or offer for sale” any cosmetic product that was developed or made using an animal test, if the test occurs after the law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2020. That means products developed using animal testing may still be sold, as long as the testing does not continue after that date. Violations are punishable by a $5,000 fine, plus an additional $1,000 for each day the violation continues.
Animal tests used in the cosmetic industry include painful skin and eye irritancy experiments, as well as toxicity evaluations that involve exposing animals to deadly substances, sometimes by force-feeding or inhalation. The most commonly used animals are mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs. The vast majority are killed when testing is complete.
We are not here to race one another to the top but rather to keep one another from falling down.
(Yes I wrote that)
I made an interesting observation today. The computer has the power to change the clocks to whatever time it's wants, and that's a scarry thing. We have relinquished one of the most important discoveries in humanity and we are entrusting it to a computer.
"Hey Kay. Why did you think of that ?"
Well let me tell you.I was engrossed in work so I looked around to see if it was lunchtime.
My kitchen clock said 11:30am,
My computer clock said 12:30.
My stove stove clock said 1:25pm.
And you know where I went to find the truth? My phone! Why did I trust it that much? What if the system was hacked and the time changed? How would I verify the true time ? That scared the heck out of me. It means that time can be manipulated by AI and smart phones and that can mean the downfall of civilization.
So this Xmas, get a watch.
