Pretty sure it wasn’t the train’s fault.

An early lesson
When I was about three I was outside on a porch banging on a screen door wanting to go back in the house while my mother and aunt were busy preparing food in the kitchen. I grew frustrated as they ignored me. Finally I cursed at her, something like, “Let me in you son of a bitch of a mommy”. That got immediate results. I found myself unceremoniously dragged inside to the kitchen sink and my mouth washed out with disgusting tasting soap and not gently at all while being admonished to never talk to her like that again. I never did. They didn’t mess around in those days.
Gun control and abortion
Joe Biden’s gun control argument seems to be, citing the standard example of shouting “fire” in a crowded theater, that no natural right is absolute. Doesn’t it follow then, given abortion is a natural right, that the right to have an abortion is not absolute? It too has limits?
Reflections as the sun falls.
Reflecting. On a hilltop. All I can say is, growing up under my father I know what it’s like to live in a totalitarian dictatorship. Of course i exaggerate, but you get the idea. His word was law. He was very strict.
