I was listening to a Librivox book, "The Four Just Men", by Edgar Wallace, published in 1905.

Four just men punish vile men, who have escaped conventional justice.

My jaw hit the floor, when I heard this bit, near the end, of the first chapter:
"You remember one Garcia, Manuel Garcia, leader in the Carlist movement;. He is in England; it is the only country where he is safe. From England, he directs the movement, here - the great movement. You know of what I speak?" Thery nodded. "This year, as well as last, there has been a famine. Men have been dying about the church doors, starving in the public squares. They have watched corrupt Government succeed corrupt Government. They have seen millions flow, from the public treasury, into the pockets of politicians. This year something will happen. The old regime must go. The Government know this. They know where the danger lies. They know their salvation can only come, if Garcia is delivered into their hands, before the organisation for revolt is complete. But Garcia is safe, for the present, and would be safe, for all time, were it not for a member of the English Government, who is about to introduce, and pass into law, a Bill. When that is passed, Garcia is as good as dead."

What an interesting change, in search results, from Duck Duck Go, when I simply change the tone of my query!

@tompowelljr.bsky.social As a Canadian, I was surprised by the fair/rational explanation of the forest fire smoke situation, by a US station. Should have left it at that. Check out replies 4 to 8, to this comment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6Kz... The 5th person to reply, should have pleaded the 5th.

And this is BEFORE Trump was voted in, the second time. How much more relevant is this NOW?

Trump's daily barrage of vociferous lunacy is screening silently introduced amendments, like this one. We only have one planet, and to sustain us, we need the trees on it. The older the trees, the better. This CANNOT be allowed to pass!!!

"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle." ~ Edmund Burke (1770)

With how much more contempt will U. S. citizens allow the present administration, to treat them, their Constitution, and their institutions?

#Trump and his followers are just a symptom, of the diseased mentality, that denies and/or justifies anything it wants to, in order to avoid claiming responsibility, for its actions, and to gratify its every desire.
“For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day, regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged, by a stronger, against a weaker nation. It was an instance of a republic following the bad example, of European monarchies, in not considering justice, in their desire to acquire additional territory.” ~ Ulysses S. Grant (RE: mid 1800s American land grab, in Mexico) History repeats itself because people DON'T LEARN! We have the CAPACITY, for wisdom. We waste it. We have the knowledge and means, to save the planet, but, somehow, don't actually care enough, to implement them. We are walking, with our eyes wide open, into oblivion. We are more afraid, of going without, of being temporarily discomforted, than we are of ending all life that exists.

I had a thought and picture pop into my head, the other night, that literally made me laugh, out loud. I just had to do a quick doodle, and share it.

I don't think Texas would do well, with Canada, as the 51st state. ROTFLMAO!!! 🤪

An outline map of Canada, with no provincial borders, and the United States, with state borders. Canada has cartoon goo-goo eyes, a wide open smiling mouth, and an arm, extending from BC, around and down, to Texas, with the hand "tickling" Texas's "chin". The title of the cartoon is: "Canada, as the 51st State". The text, spoken by Canada, reads: "Aw, look at all those teeny, tiny, little states! Aren't they just the cutest?!? Coochie coochie coo!"
