"Pot is now used by Mom and Dad. And Grandma's rubbing it on her elbows"

"And if I work hard all day and want to go home, smoke a joint and stare at my fireplace for three hours, that's my civil liberty."

An entertaining perspective from a travel authority, but it's best to wait for pot's promotion as health food
since inhaling plant smoke is not good for lungs. And intriguing concept, this "civil liberty", since many activities
could be rationalized ... like mowing the yard nude (sun rays encourage skin to produce Vitamin D).

No one knows that July 4th is the traditional end-of-era for old mustard
(all the old is used up before new is opened) since party guests are too
occupied with conversation, music, alcohol, and fireworks to notice.

Besides, does mustard really have an expiration date?!

"Some Chinese shun grueling careers for ‘low-desire life’ "

"small but visible handful of urban Chinese are rattling the ruling Communist Party by choosing to 'lie flat,' or reject high-status careers,
long work hours and expensive cities for a low-desire life ... clashes with party ambitions to make China a wealthier consumer society."

Actually, the desire is for more life (and less career stress) with unnecessary consumerism, consumerism often influenced by 24-7
in-your-face advertising wherever possible. Apparently, this CRT (Consumer Rat Training) began with television, becoming so successful
that we now easily tolerate super repetition of advertising even within a 30-minute TV program! And worse with late-night television
as well as 24-7 online content.

Guess who moved your cheese! ... and to which new rat traps!


This whimsical CRT is not related to the U.S. Critical Race Theory
that is gaining momentum as new enlightenment with similar training.

Re: https://www.edweek.org/leadership/what- ... ck/2021/05

"Critical race theory (CRT) is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct,
and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies."

"Critics charge that the theory leads to negative dynamics, such as a focus on group identity over universal, shared traits;
divides people into 'oppressed' and 'oppressor groups; and urges intolerance."

"4th of July Fireworks Are Racist Because Smoke Disproportionately Affects Black People"

Exaggeration since the same might be alleged of barbecues on this holiday weekend.
And barbecue smoke stays closer to the ground than smoke of spectacular fireworks.

The still increasing attacks on all symbols of national importance suggest that
the U.S. will soon subdivide into independent states ... at least long enough
to be invaded by China or Russia (neither exemplary of racial integration)

Both Hawaii and Alaska come to mind as easy "first captures" ...
or at least sufficient distraction from a Taiwan invasion.

This increasing discord hints that the media is implicit,
probably with foreign influence, support, and guidance;
a type of discord that helps prepare for invasion(s).

Re: https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/plan ... -real-meat

"Researchers at Duke University compared 36 food samples -- 18 of widely known plant-based meat alternatives
to 18 grass-fed ground beef options from a ranch in Idaho. For each sample, they measured number of metabolites,
small molecules that make up the nutrients in foods."

Actually, faux meat's goal has been to appeal like real meat - not be nutritionally identical. This may be why
"plant-based meat tends to sell better next to real meat." This might explain why faux meat is priced so high:
a lower price would suggest that the lab-creation is not as good as real meat.

Even before the gender identity controversy of "man" in "woman" is resolved, "marriage is between a man and a woman" will be tested on a different level. This just suggests that "marriage" will be redefined continually, but the greater controversy begins when a robot has the anatomy to conceive a child. A boy? girl? hybrid? or what
