Spring troubles 2020

Everybody has their opinion on this Chinese virus known as Covid 19, yup, I’ll bet you find that term offensive and that’s okay. The Chinese and other developed nations including the US have a love affair with chemicals in agriculture. These chemicals have been documented to affect the immune system in animals and humans. These viruses love folks with weakened immune systems, oh but I live healthy you say, yeah right, compared to what, the average American? These people party to beat hell, sit in front of a screen day and half the night and drive to their mailbox, and that’s healthy? The liquor stores have been doing a brisk business but the flower shop isn’t allowed to open, think about it, does that make sense? The virus spreads with close contact, so keep your distance, don’t shut down the economy, make some adjustments to how businesses work and keep on making money. You see it’s all about control, you have politicians who know  how to fleece a business but not run one, trying to make business decisions. The general public needs me and my brilliant ideas they say, it’s a justification for their socialist ideas, talk to the Cubans about socialism.
Back to the chemical situation, we are going through spring, the neighborhoods smell like lawn chemicals and the people are home in their houses breathing this stuff. The general population has no clue about how these lawn chemicals affect their health, you see, the advertising says the stuff is safe.  Here’s a tip, always read the material data safety sheet and the label, if you don’t understand it find someone who does. The genius on the lawn care truck, don’t believe a word he says, read the label and safety sheet.

These face masks made from whatever is lying around the house? That’s an activity that the politicians and medical people thought up to give the general population something to do, let me feel useful because all I’m doing is sitting around watching the news and it’s making me anxious they say. We keep hearing that the experts are basing everything on science, making a mask out of a t-shirt or old dress to prevent the spread of a virus is good science? People bullshit themselves. A virus is smaller than bacteria, matter of fact viruses are used to fight bacterial infections, the virus attaches to the bacteria similar in the way a parasitic wasp attacks a tomato horn worm. So think about it, what is the mask really doing? That’s good science?
Finally, who’s paying for all these handouts? People have died fighting to preserve this country and its constitution. Here’s an idea, let’s follow the constitution and what the founding fathers thought about tyrannical government. The problem is it takes personal responsibility and hard work, two things that many folks today find distasteful.
