"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

So What?

*poof* another published comment disappears, making a subsequent reference to it look glaringly silly.

"Who's been sleeping in my bed?" growls the  Papa Bear.
 Slightly more interesting than the storybook tale, how quickly comes a  response to a change on the blog:
A  hostile individual  is sitting somewhere in front of a computer  with nothing better to do than wait and  pounce.
Like  Sylvester the Cat 's efforts  to outsmart Tweetie Bird; salivating at the thought of swallowing  him whole. 
How long will it be, I wonder ,before social media  becomes the   plot for a cartoon series.
Maybe it's happened already  in another generation.
When  the  ugliness becomes too awful  to contemplate, humour takes over, the logical  means  for survival intact.
A wealth of comedic material exists  in our town alone. 
At this very moment elsewhere in the world , people with automatic weapons and suicide bombs strapped to their bodies are intent on  causing the greatest harm possible
Women. children,  the elderly and  young , no age is safe..  They weep with  grief, the same as the rest of us when the loss is theirs.
Still the horror continues.
Only exhaustion of  resources, physical, financial, emotional,  bring it to an end.
Our lives are as safe as any place in the world.
Our rights are secure. 
We  are free to express ourselves and  let others do the same.   .

The one-note critic really should get a Blog of it's own. It seems fairly bright, maybe over-educated & bored. Obviously doesn't like much about Evelyn's Blog but spends literally hours nit-picking other's remarks to bits. Which leads back to an old subject. There was a man, Cuthburt, I think, who made a brief foray onto this site and then went off to create his own. I can't find it but am not too good with this computer stuff. Is he up and running ? I am expecting to see him in the next election. You could almost hear it in his comments.

It's like that old game of Truth and Dare, seeing how far he/she can push before Evelyn pulls the plug. Gotta admire the determination.

Talk about 'damned by faint praise' - Mensa material, surely.

Mensa gives an unearned advantage. It is not an indicator of an individual's ability to function. Sorry about that.
