Oh, Poo!

Yes, I realize that this cartoon nutshell's "Lysistrata" and, considering how effective the play's strategy to end war has been for the past 2500 years, I think I'll just consider my creation some well-earned poo-flinging and leave it at that.

It may be getting hotter this Summer but you know what?

I won't have to suffer the heat sick with covid, you un-vaxxed bitches!

------------------

I've been vaccinated.

It feels so refreshing and honest and helpful to publicly and openly "violate" my HIPAA rights.

------------------

Remember the H.G. Wells sci-fi classic "The War of the Worlds"?

As the story goes, Martians with technological skills far in advance of our own invaded this green Earth and almost drove mankind to extinction. In the end humans were saved and the alien enemy thoroughly defeated by the simple microbes, viruses, and bacteria that we on Earth blithely ignore. It killed the Martians deader'n Mitch McConnell's ability to empathize with the middle class.

The annihilation of the alien hordes came as a surprise to most readers of the story because humans don't ordinarily view themselves as the sacks of biological poison that they are. As proof, just ask the Native Americans and the Central Americans who expired by the millions, perhaps hundreds of millions, from the multitudes of novel diseases the colonists and conquistadors brought from the Old World and spewed all over the American biosphere.

The blame lies with the cows, pig, and chickens the Europeans consumed and co-evolved with, passing viruses back and forth. Those diseases that didn't outright kill the local populations stuck around waiting for an opportunity to flourish again.

One like, oh, colonization of a foreign and isolated land.

Covid-19 is just another example of that viral mechanism and it's just as deadly now as smallpox was to the Aztecs. Imagine, after all, contracting Covid-19 today without the benefit of modern medicine. Cases of the disease we now shrug off with over-the-counter medicines would kill millions more than it has already.

In this Covid-19 environment those who continue to resist getting vaccinated are the new Martians or the new Native Americans though I'm pretty sure if they'd known about vaccinations they'd have been first in line.

Get vaccinated.

Mea Culpa: The woman's original reply include the word "copulated" but I called a very slow audible and replaced it with "fornicated" a couple days after its premier as that word just works better.

And who doesn't love fornication?

The 1752 calendar shift dropped 11 days.

When I was a young man, I would see movies where the male lead didn't notice the female lead until she took off her glasses and let her hair down. I always thought those men were idiots because I certainly noticed how beautiful they were. Indeed, to me, glasses enhance a woman's appearance.

Well said, NWBIH!

They should reap what they sow. As quickly and quietly as possible.

Remember when the gregorian calendar first came into use? We lost some days, can't remember how many though.

It seems the refucks are doing the same thing this year. We went from 01/05 to 01/07/21 without any prior warning.

Does this mean an extra leap day or do we skip the next one? Will there be a 01/06/22?

When you hold the 2020 Olympics in 2021 you have to keep up with this stuff. Of course i have trouble remembering what day it is.

Hope you haven't bought next years day planner yet.

I have a friend who cannot get the vaccination due to a blood clotting factor problem. Her medical record actually reflects this and she has the doctor monitoring her for problems.

Think about that. A person wants the vaccine, but cannot because of a medical issue and her doctor currently advising against getting one.

People like Tucker Carlson, MTG, forehead Gaetz, etc. have no doubt gotten the vaccine, but lie through their teeth so they can have an audience and make money.

Don't get vaccinated!

By failing to get vaccinated you are amending the social contract we all have to live by. By amending said contract, we the vaccinated, can add our own changes going forward.

You are of course free to do anything you want. You can die the horrible suffocating death half a million have already endured as is your right.

You passed on the free shots and stood your ground now be proud of your convictions and prove to the rest of us how morally superior you are as you die. I for one will remember your and your family's sacrifice when things finally get back to normalcy. It won't be the same without you but I am willing to bet we will somehow.

There are many stories recently about people trying to get a retroactive vaccines after they or a child gets the covid.

40 years ago my civics teacher told me that "ignorance of the law is no excuse." Same goes for science.

Was I too subtle? Then let me be totally clear. I welcome the death of any and all who refuse science and the evidence in front of us.

We can get through this together if we try.

I read the Rolling Stone article you linked to about the Michigan county officials who gave themselves a bunch of money as "hazard pay" that was intended for workers whose jobs put them at actual risk of getting Covid-19.

From the info given in the article it must have been at least $200,000.

If they'd taken it out of the tills of some convenience stores (and they were the wrong color) they'd be facing some serious jail time. And I can't see that what they actually did was much different; especially since I doubt that any of that money was used to keep their electricity from being shut off, or to keep their families from being evicted.

Yet all they could be accused of was that they didn't do it in a meeting that was open to the public. They apologized that the "gesture had been misinterpreted" and magnanimously agreed to voluntarily return the funds to the public. Yes, some will probably suffer some consequences for pulling this stunt, but I'm sure it will be less than if they'd tried to pinch a really nice laptop.

We're not just talking about some Bozos off the street here but about people who have been given positions that credit them with being reliable and trustworthy. We should expect better.

To paraphrase the last line of Animal Farm:

We are all equal before the law - but some are more equal than others.

(I'm sorry about the rant, but this kind of crap really burns my behind.)
