Dog On A Root

The Final Review - jim Young “At the end of the day, all that matters is love and memories. So make sure that you give it and make sure you make them.” - anon Many people have reported seeing their lives flash before their eyes just before death. But of course those people that tell us that, didn’t really die. They only suffered a near death experience. So we don’t know for certain if that also happens with people that have actually died. However, not everyone that experiences a near death experience has reported this phenomenon. But maybe they just hadn't gotten all the way there yet. Maybe if they had gotten a moment or two closer to their actual death, their film migt've started to roll. At what point does your inner stage manager cue the lighting operator to lower your house lights and call for the projector to roll? I wonder if any of these people also saw a quick countdown from 8 to 2 accompanied with a little beep that counted off the seconds to go as each number appeare...

 

 

- jim Young “Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and people will believe it.” - Adolf Hitler I’m getting more than a little annoyed with how so many people ask why I am (as many Canadians like me are) so concerned with what Donald Trump is doing but not what our government is doing. I can’t speak for everyone else, but I can’t help but believe that many others may share my thoughts on this. First of all it’s an ignorant question which presupposes that I can’t be concerned with more than one issue at a time. How insulting is that? It’s the old either/or syndrome. As if I can’t be concerned about more than one thing at a time. It’s led us as a whole down a very dangerous path. It seems we shouldn’t help ANY refugees until we help ALL our veterans first. We shouldn’t help ANY of the unemployed until we help ALL of our senior citizens first. God help the children of these people. What would they suppose they would ever do if both of their children were drowning? Save the oldest first w...

 

Never Mind Humanitarian - It’s Not Even Good Business - jim Young “There is nothing more uncommon than common sense.” - Frank Lloyd Wright Donald Trump was very upfront about his plans to deport all undocumented immigrants from the U.S. when he was campaigning for his second term of presidency. He tried to soften the blow by claiming he would concentrate on rounding up undocumented immigrants that had violent criminal records first, such as the rapists and murderers. Who’s going to contest the deportation of an illegal immigrant who commits violent crimes? It seems like a noble enough cause. The problem is of course, Donald Trump lies. The whole world knows he lies. Even most of his supporters, if they are being honest, know Trump lies. Trump doesn't care. Just 3 days after being inaugurated, the round up began, including many deportations of undocumented immigrants who had no previous convictions. Was anyone surprised that Donald Trump broke his word? No one raised an eyebrow at t...
