I have ignored the blog for over a month. My mind has been elsewhere. With that is mind I think I will post a political statement. Just to see if anyone is awake and listening. (reading!)
The folks that believe this are:
A. Democrats
B. Republicans
C. Independents
D. All of the above
E. None of the above
Interesting question!
ReplyDeleteI think we first need to establish a blue ribbon panel to review the alternative responses to determine relative viability of probability of each. The Bureau of Indian Affairs will need to investigate the tribal status of the alleged "Indian" aka Native American, and get an opinion from the Council on Aging because of the "Old" personage making the statement. I'd think the Dept. of Labor would also need to launch an investigation to see whether or not the cutting of the blanket was done according to OSHA standards (if in this country) and if not, whether Free Trade or other agreements and treaties may have been broken in the process. Dept. of Immigration may need to be consulted to see whether or not these blankets were made and or cut by illegal and undocumented workers. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We could be talking major scandal here, no doubt directly related to socialist policies of the current President. Check back for an answer in 3 to 5 years.
Another way to look at the value of time!
ReplyDeleteNo, I see the metaphor this way: Go ahead and cut a foot off the top of the blanket! Just throw the extra away on other government expenditures or donate it to needy corporate executives...after all we are trying to cut down on the homeless people aren't we?
ReplyDeleteThere goes another hour of the day when we are not covered by our security blanket. There is no way to fool around with time except in our imagination. So the reality becomes that if you FEEL that you saved an hour today then it is very likely that you have! Just do not ask any Indians or scientists for justification for the logic you have accepted!
