What a great movie Educating Rita was and analogy/observation re/dropping WT for seizing one's life -- love Michael Caine. With all this COVID 19 stress a pub like that is looking pretty darn good no matter which world/lol.

6There Are Better Songs to Sing
by cofty inthe 1983 film educating rita, written by willy russell and starring michael caine and julie walters, is one of the finest stories ever told.
julie's character is the eponymous working class hairdresser and michael caine plays professor frank bryant her open university tutor assigned, against his will, to teach her english literature.
the dialogue is brilliant and funny but it is the dilemma of an awakening rita caught between two worlds that is deeply moving.

I read few yrs. ago there's only two (2) effective vaccines to date and one is for polio and the other small pox. Not too faith inspiring.
Clinical trials for vaccine are already in process so we can hope something flies and the sooner the better. Can't count on it and certainly need anti-viral drugs better than Remdesivir being 81% effective. Need meds that are prescribed on an out-patient basis short of people being vented/half dead. This is crazy - hospitals receiving huge payouts via Medicare if victims are ventilated and then - with any luck at all - one is prescribed a chemical. The political FDA has a greed problem (they're quite political) re/Hydroxychloroquine.

The most vulnerable were NOT protected in the US but in fact much the opposite in NY, NV (not sure of California) and New Jersey and possibly Illinois. Of course everyone else was under house arrest except a few states that used common sense. Cuomo doesn't know what he's doing, as usual. He's an unqualified, unethical, governor, and because of his ineptness caused the deaths of 1,700 elderly people in facilities. Who knows - probably more. He did change his stupid rule of returning/allowing the COVID 19 ill seniors to be readmitted to the senior living facilities. What a buffoon he is.

Is there a WT - Aspergers Connection?
by Sea Breeze inso after much research, i'm convinced that my dad and both my older brothers have aspergers.
they can come across as jerks at times especially when their guard is down.
however, they can hide it extremely well when they want to, with pointed effort.

I don't know about Aspergers but cleary disordered characters (wolves) and they're not unique in the world. A dime a dozen.

Texas medical professionals having issues prescribing the life-saving meds - I'm shocked. I know there's five (5) loon states (or were) and NV and California for sure but thought the governor of TX was allowing it. This is crazy.
Sea Breeze - doctors in NV are suing the governor here. Meds can be used but not on an out-patient basis and the most effective one, Hydroxychloroquine, needs to be prescribed immediately to COVID 19 victims. One has to be close to death and on a vent w/the hospital receiving mega bucks from Medicare to be prescribed Hydroxychloroquine. It's an ugly situation. Many are on twitter re/the governor who apparently hoarded the hydroxychloroquine and is allowing the prisoners to be treated with. His health expert isn't even licensed - or so i've read. Haven't confirmed. He tried to close down the gun stores several wks. ago but lawyers jumped right on it and he didn't have the law on his side to do that - fortunately. There's no law on his side or the states re/his banning the hydroxychloroquine - I might not understand how that works but I'm glad the medical community is standing up and filed lawsuit(s) to the stasi here.
People fleeing California - and there were many before COVID 19 - are considering Utah rather than NV now. Going to be tough on tourists if they get sick here - no outpatient meds. This is not good. Go on twitter and check out Sisolak - Hydroxychloroquine - it's unreal.

Use COMMON SENSE for Covid 19 - not LAWS!
by BoogerMan inso says former justice of the supreme court, lord sumption.

he correctly calls the "lockdown" for what it is - house-imprisonment.

Yeah - if you die from the hiccups it's documented as Covid 19 and the medical/coroners are confirming same. Politics on all levels in full force now although citizens followed the rules to flatten curve as they were told. It's so scary people are afraid to go to the ER at hospital afraid they'll be diagnosed with COVID if they have a cold. My husband had a red eye - I was rattled it was the fear mongering conjunctivitis eye that possibly could be COVID 19. Having received so many horror calls from clients - businesses, COVID fear - elderly ones passing on hospice care and not having COVID it was like dragging little kid to doctor - wasn't happenin'! Eye specialists just reopening and finally taking ER appointments, praise the gawds! This is crazy and this was minor and not COVID related per specialist.
Simon can you come to NV and Cali - best line w/expletives since Elon Musk.

Weekly Meeting Importance Being Reduced - Your Thoughts?
by JWTom ini am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.
nothing was more important than being at the meetings!
over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.

I think they've got the JWs afraid of their shadow with COVID to go beyond their back door. JWs will jump with glee to return to the halls once COVID dies out and consider it a special blessing from their private god. I can't imagine them wavering on their WT fantasy faith wagon - at least the elderly but I'm not around elderly JWs to know.

Where's the proof that meetings are being cut down/reduced? With zoom they can hound the JWs daily for more halls (goon squad's real estate monopoly money). Last we heard they were keeping the JWs busy, all dressed up and tuned into zoom.

San Fan, and LA make hotels take homeless and give them free Marijuana and Methadone and food.
by phoenixrising inso the liberals in all their intelligence or lack of it, have put the homeless up in hotels and are set to force hotels to take them in while giving them free drugs and food.
all they are doing is reinforcing bad behavior.
liberals destroy and conservatives have to clean up the mess.

Commiefornia is my home state and I pay taxes on properties there. The state is broke because it's a nanny state and I'm sure needs a federal bail out. Like NY many in Commiefornia are fleeing and heading to Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. Wish they'd all skip NV. Hollywood money is made off of residents in every state in the union as the big tech money is. They should be paying federal taxes big time.
Fossil Pelosi's plan isn't even about the people but for her millionaire/billionaire buddies but the ignorant will fall for it. It really is the United States of Socialism. Fear/panic with Coronavirus is one big chance/opportunity for the commies.
Looks like Still Totally A__ is the subject moderator now.
