The outward structures and organizations that people create to meet and greet and pursue common goals don't usually just spring up spontaneously as some popular or temporary trend to match the times; naturally, the attitudes behind them take a long, long time to evolve, sometimes a whole lifetime, sometimes centuries.

In the case of racism, it's generational. Children from the age of reason to the end of their schooling are TAUGHT to hate. As adults, those dark feelings and conflicting thoughts fester and seethe just beneath the surface, barely contained if at all.

The solution is maddeningly simple: Hey, all you racist, so-called "grown-ups" -- parents, teachers, cops, politicians, tycoons, generals, every-damn-one -- quit teaching innocent children to hate! But this is planet fckng Earth. And the howling monkey-people evolving down an evolutionary dead-end are running the asylum.

So the chances for peaceful coexistence are nothing if enough individuals in society don't wake up and change their delusional attitudes. Each new generation is the hope of a new world -- but not if the old generation keeps poisoning the minds of their progeny.

For Thom and his argument on the show about the 13 year old shot in Chicago. One question is what is a 13 year old doing out in Chicago at 02:30 with a gun? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCyvrsVchxs

Republican Counties have lowest vaccination rate. If you come down with Covid and have not been vaccinated make it so that the health insurance company and Medicare do not have to cover the costs. https://www.yahoo.com/news/least-vaccinated-u-counties-something-140652992.html

We have had around 45 mass murders (> or = to 4) this month in the USA. Any suggestion to improve gun laws is met with instant criticism from Republicans. In Boulder CO (10 deaths) the weapon that was used would not be legal to hunt deer. The murderer had a record and had served 2 years parole for Anger Management issues. But considered to be a misdemeanor. What are the rights of the ones that are murdered?

"Oops!... I Did It Again" should be Marjorie Taylor Greene's theme song. This is the second time she managed to get bi-partisan condemnation for her vile crazy crap. The last time they took away her committee assignments and she raised millions. Besides more millions, what will be the results of this?

The last verse of the song fits her and her racist colleagues so very well:

You see my problem is this

I'm dreaming away

Wishing that heroes, they truly exist

I cry, watching the days

Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways

But to lose all my senses

That is just so typically me

Oh baby, oh

Lyrics By: Martin/Yacoub
