prophetic then  and NOW

                              Rachel Carson

she asserted that one of the most basic human rights is the “right of the citizen (of the world) to be secure in his own home against the intrusions of poisons applied by other people.”

through ignorance greed negligence

                                     “poisonous and biologically potent chemicals” fall “indiscriminately into the hands of persons largely and wholly ignorant of their potentials for harm.”

when protested people are “fed little tranquillizing pills of half-truth” by governments that refuse to take responsibility for or acknowledge evidence of damage

she challenged “moral vacuity”

                                  asserted “The obligation to endure gives us the right to know.”

   endure

              endurance

what he found prophetic in her words is that they are applicable today regarding the potent poison of unmediated social media the disregard of roiling childhood illiteracy the terrible illiteracy of society as a whole

government has not amended Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996

                                                                                            platforms  because they cannot be sued are failing to appropriately remove harmful content such as misinformation disinformation hate speech

1964  when Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart was asked to describe his test for obscenity responded “I know it when I see it.”

others maintain platforms remove constitutionally protected political speech in biased fashion and still others  advocates of consumers rights  hawkeye platforms algorithms that they believe violate or reinforce biases that unfairly disadvantage consumers

Somebodies had a ball

the choir  Flipped the condom from the corner

Yah

Selective memory

Out of curiosity

                    Since yare one to constantly rate or rank thingsI don know how you do tha  thasaid  remind me of a buddy of mine Abe  a Jew everything he considered was through the lens of how he coud make money off it I asked him How do you think like tha Abe replied How can you not?

Thasaid

               Rate your wife when you met her Not out of ten  Out of onehunred

Why are you curious?

Because you cant resist quantifying cant resist comparingFUCK you constantly compare yourself sizeup other guys . .

. . And you don’t?

   As Ive said I don see guys  Aint got a damn thing Im interested in But youre like a dog with its nose at the others ass

Jes . .

. . Don Jesus me Youre constantly comparing contrasting

                                                            An thasaid     Rate your wife

I’d . say . . . a ninetyseven.

An twenty years later

What do you mean?

Wha I said  If the fires warm an inviting at home why are you constantlyagain drawing my attention to skirts  torches who woudnt give ya the time of day enough to scald ya let alone scorch you

                                                                                    Not tha you woud cheat on your wife  Given a chance    Given a chance evenif there was a rocksolid guarantee she woud never NEVER  find out

Thaswha I mean

   I don’t know.

You think shed rate you twenty years later as equal to whayawere going in

No.

Thanks for being honest

                                Whawoud ya rate her

A ninetyoneWhat about you?

Your wife

No.

     Yours.

I don rank anything

tad miffed That's a cop out.

Give me a time

                        Ya know Id tellya find out for yourself

. . . aw come on, ya got to admit that that’s a coincidence.

Its not Tha doesnt exist

Oh but it does.

Is it possible youre confusing coincidence with correlation or causation a triplescoop icecream cone

                                                                                                         Ill concede theres cause an effect but not a standalone coincidence

When things coincide I believe you think there must be a reason because thas how the your world works You suspect something has to be going on

                                Coincide

Coinside S I D E not C I D E

                               Heads Tails No   Coinside  a suddenfertilised ovum access pinhole snapsshut sperms tails severed its motility excised eliminated

   Ridiculous. Why do I listen to your crap?

Because you need a foil to deliver you from yourself

                                                        Youre dangerous walkinround like a bomb with some of those thoughts ticking away in your head

Our conversation began if youll recall  with you tellin me tha my suggestion a mutation is commiserate with wha you call a coincidence Theyre blatantly unlike yet you stick to your guns insisting they are

A random fluctuation mutation Not a random coincidence

Go  On   Ya heard me Go   Home

untroubled bigfoot sauntered towards himmoving like John Wayne  unmistakably

   Buddy  You cant come with me yacant keepup

                                                       Wait here

truth be known he believed bigfoot understood him

                                                       he walked towards him

bigfoot ceased sat

up on him he squattedtook his head in both hands rubbed his jaw ears Be a sport  Stay   Ill be back in two shakes of a catstail  an houranahaf

he stood

bigfoot did too

he turnedmilitarily on his heelswalked over his shoulder demanded STAY HERE

                                                                                         kept walking didnt look back

easily the last seven doing this dance

Hes still following us

Quit watching

Look

No

Hes precious hes tryin to keep up

Because hes aware he has your attention   Quit

Its hard

I know

           though once up to speedmarking cadence he was all business  forward

 

as he walked he thoughtchided

                                  Yacant save stupid from stupid  Not to say yacant try or shoudnt  Eventually they catchup with themselves

bigfoot wasnt stupid

he was streetwise

it was the other Stupids that coloured his mind who werent

                                                               who thought they were

when he IDd them he gave them wide berth minimised contact with them as much as he could  bordered on callused

learned with age

                   figured on-the-job training

for it he had many seen an unseen scars
