This is a stand alone because it so precisely sums up every complaint I have had about the "experts" for the past decade. They always imply the "science is settled" and you should just shut up and believe what the experts say.
As a scientist, I have been crushed to hear the stupidity...that you are not supposed to question. My most concerning moment came when they started to dictate masks. I looked up the studies for using masks for viruses...and they all said they were useless...especially for lay people who wouldn't use/fit them properly. I then went back to those studies a few weeks later and they had been taken down...WTF. And not because the data was found to be faulty, but for political reasons.
Fooled one time is a lesson, fooled twice is a choice...never again.
Congratulations to @Ted_Prohowich. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Ted_Prohowich In which "Jeopardy!" category would you be able to answer all five clues?
Congratulations to @steve-allen and @derrickhhurd. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Steve-Allen What task do you pretend you’re no good at in order to get out of having to do it?
@derrickhhurd What is the formula of your success? How has it changed over the years?
My cousin is going to be killed tomorrow. I don't know the time, but tomorrow they are going to start giving him morphine, and at some point turn off the ventilator. He's been in the hospital for 3 weeks now, and his pneumonia is just getting worse.
I agree with the decision to stop life support, he was suffering not living. Age 44.
His father also died from pneumonia. This just seems to me to be too clinical, too 1984. But I think it's the right decision. He leaves a son, Wyatt, named after Wyatt Earp. I leave this as something I remember from Lutheran church and catechism from 25 years ago.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord smile down upon you.
There was more, but I can't remember.
I want to thank all of you who sent messages of hope on March 20th.
