Lock 'em Up!

April 2, 2019

I am, too. The climate crisis is my Number One issue.

And pretty much my main and just-about-only issue.

Years ago I was saying that all the jobs in the world won’t mean squat if you’re gagging and wheezing and getting sick just by breathing and ingesting the toxins and pollutants in the environment on the way to work.

All the tax cuts and health care coverage in the world won’t mean squat if you’re choking and dying because of life on a poisoned and overheating planet.

If we disrupt the food chain and decimate the forests and poison the oceans and cover every spare inch with trash and litter and plastic shit and non-biodegradables, all the PAST-the-11th-hour mitigation efforts won’t mean squat.

All the cows in the world won’t save us.

The climate crisis supersedes ALL.

Unless, perhaps, you have another planet that can sustain life as we know it, to which we all can realistically evacuate.

And WAS it the back of her head? Or the top of her head?

From what I’ve seen, heard, and read, she’s claimed both.

This just smells fishy.

I share that suspicion.

No kidding.

I always book an aisle seat. Period. Grandma's getting old.

I would rather not have to fold up like an origami exercise after all these years. My old knees appreciate the extra room that an aisle seat offers plus the ability, at least partially, to stretch my legs all the way forward.

I’m sorry, but I won’t give that up. Maybe if my joints and I were younger I’d feel differently. But by now, at my age, it’s my physical necessity OVER somebody else’s mere convenience.

AND why does she bring this up NOW?

On what may be the eve of a Biden announcement, when she’s a well-documented Bernie supporter (and, apparently, Bernie insider, as I’ve read).

And not only that but she then eagerly adds that she doesn’t see this as any sort of sexual assault.

So why is she bringing this up? And bringing this up at THIS particular time?

I tell ya, something smells pretty doggone fishy...

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
