Let Us Not Confuse Change with Progress

Maybe no one ever said the above Subject Words except me but I have said them many times. I don’t always believe what I say but this is one of those times where I know I am dead right and at my age I don’t throw the word “dead” around without thinking to myself, “Do I really want to throw the word “dead” around?”.

Merriam-Webster has a lot to say about the word “change”. Here is a very incomplete list of some of what Merriam and Webster has to say…

Ø To make radically different.

Ø To replace with another.

Ø To make a shift from one to another.

Enter the “Wisdom” of YouTube…

“If you want to cut off a leg or an arm, you’re mentally ill, but if you want to cut off healthy breasts or a penis, you’re transgender.”

Those are the words of Dr. Michelle Cretella said in a video published in 2017. She is a Pediatrician with many years’ experience in her field. She is also the Executive Director of the American College of Pediatricians.

Fast forward to November 2019 and this video of Dr. Cretella has been removed from YouTube. In its place, YouTube displays this message: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on Hate Speech.”

Enter the words “Hate Speech”…

The use of the term Hate Speech appears to be here to stay and its use is growing with every passing day.

This is the kind of thing we are now being subjected to in the Good Ole USofA…

Ø A person used to kill another person because the other person deserved to be killed or simply because they disliked the another person.

Ø Today disliking another person is not sufficient.

Ø The fact that you killed the another person in absolutely conclusive proof that you hated the another person.

Ø When you are sentenced for your crime you will be sentenced for Killing the another person and you will get more time for Hating the another person.

Ø If you only disliked the another person, you would have simply slapped or punched the another person.

Ø Slapping and punching has modern expanded implications also…
èA Slap is now classified as a Hate Slap and punishable by 8 years in prison.
èA Punch is now classified as a Hate Punch and is punishable by 17 years in prison.

(Yea, I made the above bullet point up…Or did I?)

Imagine how many years John Wayne would have spent in prison because he was always punching someone. (He never slapped anyone.)

If you don’t know who John Wayne was, don’t tell me. Just quietly Google him.

Now to further your Foolish Education of the Silliness of all of this we now have a new Term of Confusion to fog our minds…

It seems some of us are suffering from Body Integrity Identity Disorder but fear not because we have a remedy and that remedy is to Amputate Limbs.

I can’t bring myself to say again which limbs so I will refer you to the Bolded Paragraph Above which follows the words, “Enter the “Wisdom” of YouTube…”.

Would I kid u?

Smartfella

Lagniappe: Am I allowed to ask this question?

If the Amputated Limb was healthy when it was removed, can the Amputated Limbed Person have it reattached if they later changed their minds or would that be considered Amputation Reversal Confusion Disorder?
