I don't seem to have any desire to read Animal Farm, although I've read some of his other books.....Down and Out in Paris and London was good.

If you've spent a lot of time, effort and possibly money on a project or cause that is designed to educate and enlighten people about a certain subject and you only change the view of just one or two people, then it has been an almost complete failure.

Someone should make a show called Star Track about the trials and tribulations of a champion competitive runner as (s)he runs to different parts of the world to view and understand their cultures, usually using his/her athletic abilities to fight crime and/or solve mysteries. There could be a running gag where they keep bringing up Citizen Kane every episode, and someone comments, "It was his sled, Jim."

an opinion, popular or otherwise:
I am against the idea of big brother police state 1984-type society, but I can see that for some people in law enforcement, having more powers of surveillance must be a seductive idea.....to have the ability to see everywhere, hear everything, have everyone's DNA in a data bank, that sort of thing, would make their job a lot easier.....it's funny how dystopian fiction is so appealing, but a dystopian world would in truth be cold and meaningless, plus just plain boring.

I wonder if the euthanasia debate is slightly stuck on the idea that a doctor has to be the one to assist in someone's death.
Why would it have to be a doctor?
If a panel decided that someone could be assisted in committing suicide, then the person who did the assisting wouldn't really need much training would they. To pass some pills to someone; to find a vein and inject a lethal dose of something...no need for that person to be a doctor, unless people want the illusion that it is a medical procedure.

We read Animal Farm in junior high and again in high school and 1984 in high school I believe. Shakespeare too, which I hated.
Shakespeare sucks yon biggly forsooth.

Shakespear was OK...when you could understand it.
But that old English was very tedious to read.

I much prefer large FL avocados to hass or any other kind. The others are good for guacamole and dips, but FL are better sliced and in salads.

UO, or not:
I wonder if Type 2 diabetes is a supernatural illness.
I read and believe that there is a supernatural component to biological organisms, supernatural fields...with type 2 diabetes I think it usually come about by eating too much; the food turns to glucose and cells are expected to keep absorbing it, storing, releasing it etc..
I have heard of type 2 being described as like someone(the sugar) knocking on the cell door and expecting to be let in. But if that person knocks too much, too often, then the cell just ends up ignoring the knock. The sugar doesn't get absorbed which means the sugar level ends up too high, plus the person gets tired because their cells don't have the energy they need.
But what if the cell door is partly supernatural? Maybe the constant absorbing of sugar damages the supernatural fields of the cells, making the cells dysfunctional.
So if that were true it may be incurable, except by the person addressing their eating, and lowering their weigh. Maybe with the right kind of eating, the cell fields can self repair, so they function correctly again.

I was also thinking about the word' flexitarian'; people complain when people who only cut out some types of meat(say red meat) call themselves vegetarians, but then we ridicule the word 'flexitarian'.....It sounds very different to vegetarian, so think we should let them have it, and encourage people to use it...why shouldn't people who cut out some types of meat have their own word, or if they significantly reduce their meat consumption.
Let them have a Flexitarian Society, let them have a logo, let them have cooking shows etc.....what does it really matter to veg*ns?
Maybe it will get some of them to stop using the word 'vegetarian'.

Why assume there's a supernatural explanation to an illness, especially one that can already be explained naturally?
Interesting idea, though. Believe what you want. I just don't see any reason to make these assumptions.
