Too often true

To those who celebrate: Happy Lunar New Year!

Morning thought:

For people who aren't psychopaths or sociopaths, compassion isn't an option or even a choice; it's a natural reflex on seeing the suffering of others.

Why, then, is there so little compassion in the world? Not because people do not feel it, but because they've been taught to suppress it, given all kinds of excuses that will avoid compassionate action:
• There's not enough time
• Someone else will do it
• I already gave
• My taxes are paying for that
• It'll just go for drink

My condo association has just announced that I can now pay the condo fee through an ACH transfer for a convenience charge of $1. However, if I write a check it’s free. Why would I pay an additional fee for paying a fee?

With all the guns we have, what are we to do? Foremostly we need to get rid of NRA.

Hey F.B.I., I know a great place to check for more records. These ten big guys were working it and couldn't even keep the casket horizontal and she wasn't even in it??? Hole #1 at Bedford.

You're going to be hearing a lot about "the debt ceiling" over the coming year, so let's take a little time to figure out exactly what that means. Now, it's kind of a misleading term.

It seems to imply that Congress is voting to allow government to spend more money. /2

So, the next time somebody tells you, and mark my words, somebody WILL tell you, that not raising the debt ceiling is good for the country because "REASONS", tell them what it really means. /PS
