Today was to be a rain day and I was tired from all the rushing around and although I stayed up until 6AM for some idiotic reason, I did some practice before going to bed.
I was up at 12:10, and at 1:10 I was heading out the door with a VERY big box holding that stupid large thing, and taking it to UPS. UPS because by using them we only lose about $25 instead of about $50. This is a thing Ken listed which is why it's been an utter disaster. This is how everything's going to go once I'm gone.
Rain had started when I was riding to UPS but it didn't do more than sprinkle so that worked out OK. I relaxed on the way back, found some packing stuff I can lay out to dry in the loft, and stopped at that one lunch truck I like and got a plate of spaghetti for $6 which I took home and put lots of cheese and chili oil on and ate.
On the radio it's the usual news. All these tears over the "Palestinians" by the peace creeps, who the "Palestinians" would happily kill off if they had the chance. I find it hilarious that the US is preaching about this matter when we actually set the example for the Nazis and only feel kindly disposed toward our "Indians" at all because they're utterly defeated and our nation has been almost completely "cleansed" of them. How would things be if the "Indian" population was equal to the white population or greater, and still fighting for territory?
And our "Indian" population was never as nasty as the "Palestinians" are. For one thing, the "Palestinians'" religion, Islam, is an evangelical one which basically means convert or die. Same as Christianity. Even in the Roman Empire, you could get in some real trouble for not worshiping the Roman gods, which might be where Christianity, a sort of mishmash of Judaism and Roman/Greek cosmology, got it from.
So while if there can be said to be a worldview of "The Jews", it's to get along and go along and not force their views on anyone. While to the Christians and Moslems, the desired end-state is every human on the planet following *their* religion, or dead.
It's like living next door to a psycho neighbor who doesn't just want to get along, but wants *your* yard, *your* house, *your* wife, etc. Modern laws are written with the assumption that the neighbor just wants to get along, and can't deal with the actual situation where it's You or Them, only one emerges alive.
Our modern, post-WWII thinking says this is wrong and bad. But I'm coming to the conclusion that this type of thinking has no grounding in reality.
