And then now there's this shooting of a 12 year old in Cleveland by police who told him to put down his toy gun 3x. This has to really end. This cops v. toy guns thing. Cops too ballistic? Over wahtevered? Stupidity? Uncaring? Racism? Too scared? A 12 year old kid didn't know enough to respond to cops' orders 3x. What the hell? And there it is. There it is. Sad but true. When a cop orders you to do something, DO it or be killed. Unless you are confronting an enlightened cop (an anomoly?). And there is the issue of enough black cops to mirror society. How about hispanic cops? Asian? What's that called? Equal opportunity? Equal law enforcement? Then there's equal enforcement of muslim law. Oy. Jewish law. Double Oy. What is the United States?

Yea, Lots of countries with nuclear weapons to obliterate civilization. What a world. Happy happy because we assume no nutjob will light the match. And then there's the supreme ayatolloh of iran. wow. what a light for the world, A? let's get more nuke bombs for him because he has so much enlightenment. (And at this point I might be losing readers but I don't care about them as they do not care for truth as I see it.) Yea, this is a real blog log. Hay, if there's no money involved, or desire, let the thoughts fly. I wish there were a bomb that could take out ISIS with 1 of them. And the rulership in Iran with the 2nd one. And then and then and then. Is that hate? Or just righteousness? They hate. They kill. We don't want that. Tho some of our cops do. Rut ro. Hopefully not 2 many cops. And so I run out of thot. Happens. Nightly news on NBC. (I spent 30 minutes alone in my office with Roger Mudd during spring of Watergate.) A long long story. The road is long. So .... let's all tell our stories well.
