The LOKI Paradox

Namaste my fellow geeks as well as to my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers. Now as you all know, or at least I believe you all to be aware, there is a new show out on Disney+ called LOKI. I'm gonna start with a little recap of the MCU and then postulate from there about the direction of the show. Also, even though today is the release of episode 2, I have not yet watched it yet... so there won't be any spoilers...

As we know from Norse mythology and it's subsequent role in the MCU over the Infinity saga, LOKI is a formidable, cunning adversary. Born LOKI Laufeyson, his father Laufey ruled over the ice/frost giants of Jotunheim. LOKI was unusually small for a frost giant and was left in a temple to die, shortly after to be found and rescued by ODIN after the war between the frost giants and the Asgardians. ODIN brought LOKI back to Asgard and used his magic to make the child look like an Asgardian; adopting and raising him as a son to be brothers with Thor, his biological child. 

We know from Thor that LOKI felt burdened with glorious purpose to rule over Midgard, Asgard, and the other realms. In the sequel, we saw LOKI fake his own death and indeed show himself as a mischievous scamp. We later find out that he messed with Odin's mind, usurp the throne of Asgard, parade around in his father's clothes, commemorate statutes in his true image, but went as far as commissioning a theatrical play of his accomplishments, featuring Liam Hemsworth, Sam Neil, and fan favorite Matt Damon. This segment was good for some laughs, to be sure. 

Unfortunately, LOKI from the first Avengers (Assemble) was bound by his pursuit of glorious purpose. The Infinity stone, the tesseract, fell into the hands on Loki due to the time travel angle he figured out by smelling the cologne of Tony Stark from the future who was dressed as an agent in combat attire. Brilliant. We saw how he was teleported to Mongolia and almost immediately was met by the Time Variance Authority or TVA. LOKI was knocked silly by a time baton and apprehended into TVA custody; TVA agents releasing something unusual that was going to reset that last part of the timeline for the locals as the agents, with LOKI,  disappeared through their temporal portal. 

After the fear tactics and humiliation, he is brought into a courtroom and ruminated about himself being the victim of conspiracy at the hands of who he deemed as the real culprits in the Avengers. LOKI very casually suggests he be allowed to return to his timeline and rectify the situation by destroying the Avengers. To his shock, he is told that their deeds of time travel are allowed, but LOKI teleporting out of Avengers tower with the tesseract was unacceptable, he was a variant, and they were going to kill him... until Agent Mobius M. Mobius stepped in with a different direction to the story. We find out just after that they are in a large city like structure before Mobius gives LOKI his "This is your life" greatest hits and misses. Followed by the revelation that this variant of LOKI was needed to hunt down an even more dangerous variant of LOKI. That catches up to the end of episode 1.

I want to rewind and go over a few details of episode 1 before I reveal my theory about the show. 

1) the Skrull when LOKI first arrives in the TVA. 

2) inside the courtroom you could see 3 panels on the wall, each with a mural of different classes of TVA employees. You could see the agent enforcement group, the civil servant group, and what look like the Judges...

3) after LOKI's brief escape, a woman is seen briefly in what looks like 1950s attire with brown hair similar to Peggy Carter...

4) the fact that LOKI laughed at his own death, but cried at his adopted mother's death showed a great deal about the character of this variant. Other variants apparently weren't this remorseful...

5) LOKI calling the 3 time keepers "Space lizards". This ironic and likely could be a plot point later on, likely linked to He Who Remains, the sole survivor of the destruction of the previous universe. 

6) if you recall the short video with Miss Minutes, she described an ancient multiversal war (madness) with a short animated video that looked exactly like the home planet of Thanos, Titan. Doubt that's a coincidence. Perhaps this will be a pivotal plot point for the Eternals?

7) I have to mention Casey's box of Infinity stones. In the TVA, we're told that the magical powers of characters and Infinity stones just flat out doesn't work there. Ironically there are more green time stones than any of the other colors, leading me to wonder how many times the Sorcerer Supreme: Dr. Strange and/or the Ancient One had been pruned by the TVA? This too could explain the variant difference in the Red Skull Johan Schmidt on Vormir...

Okay, now it's time for my personal theories about what is going on in the show. 

1) I personally believe the TVA is located inside of the quantum realm, based upon evidence from Ant Man and the Wasp. Fan theories pointed to evidence of a large city existing inside the quantum realm and this could both explain the presence of the TVA and Janet Van Dyne being able to survive for nearly 30 years. This also could explain why Scott Lang was immune from the snap of the Infinity Gauntlet, as the magical powers of the Infinity stones don't work in the quantum realm.

2) The Ancient One had a talk with Professor Hulk in Endgame about the "sacred timeline" which defined for the viewers the overview that mortals of this universe have about the timeline. It is highly likely she was aware of the TVA, albeit unaware that their existence is outside and beyond the physical bounds of their current universe.

3) It is highly likely that we've already seen the first glimpses of the Multiverse in Dr. Strange as we explored the shattered dimension as well as the realm of Dormammu, the 9 realms of Thor, and the quantum universe of Ant Man and the Wasp.

4) The TVA seems clearly upset about losing agents to another variant of LOKI, meaning there are ALREADY alternate timelines in play. I've postulated about this in other blogs on the subject and my analysis is that Disney Marvel is going to write off the other Marvel projects done by other studios like FOX and SONY, to be in different timelines and that the TVA is misleading the audience into believing there is only 1 timeline in THEIR protected SACRED TIMELINE. 

5) The variant dilema. Marvel writers could very easily use this idea of variants to explain away some of the inconsistencies of the MCU such as Terrance Howard in the original portrayal of Colonel Rhodes a.k.a. War Machine, Edward Norton as the Hulk, and surely the Tobey McGuire and Andrew Garfield Spider-man variants from Sony. This also could possibly be the catalyst to bringing the extended cast of characters in from the previous studios like the X-men and the Brotherhood, Fantastic 4, Defenders, Sinister 6, Dr. Doom, etc. 

6) Another variant dilema is the pandora's box they've opened with this concept. There could likely be variants of our favorite heroes in the MCU. Quicksilver variant could have actually been Ralph Bohner or vice versa. Will we end up seeing Captain Hydra variant where Steve Rogers joined Hydra instead of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Will we see a reboot of those characters from non-canon stories like Agent Carter or the Defenders like Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones? Did I just stumble onto the premise for the upcoming animated Disney+ show "What if...?"? We've already seen in the trailer for "What if..?" Peggy Carter dressed up as Captain Britain with the infamous shield from Howard Stark. T'Challa as Star Lord. Marvel Zombies... Seems like those possibilities are endless.

7)Why was the time travel done by the Avengers deemed as acceptable, but LOKI jumping out of his path on the timeline was forbidden? My theory is because the entire Infinity Saga was just a big time loop, similar to the one we saw in Dr. Strange as he entrapped Dormamu into rage quitting from boredom of killing the sorcerer supreme in an infinite loop.

Steve Rogers was the time anchor for the entire time loop, starting from his time travel into the future from being frozen in ice, "Capsicle" to Tony Stark. The TVA didn't punish the Avengers because of Steve Rogers time loop that nearly always ended with LOKI making the best versions of the titular hero characters by inducing pain, misery, and suffering, devoid of the events of the subsequent movies that humbled him to being an anti-hero rather than a villain. Steve Rogers had already gone back in time, as we can clearly see the older version of his character as a pallbearer at his late wife Peggy Carter's funeral, seen in CA: Civil War. The loop was already in progress, the Avengers just didn't figure it out yet... except Steve and Bucky. Bucky knew Steve's secret because he encountered the older version of Steve at some point in the past where he was already married to Peggy Carter at that point under his alternate identity as Roger Stevens. They had 2 children together. Bucky kept his secret and in the future for Steve, the present for the rest of the Avengers, both Bucky and Steve looked very chill and Steve opted not to relay his life story for his friend Sam Wilson. Steve got to disappear and be dead to the world, as we saw in Falcon and Winter Soldier. 

When Steve left the current timeline, he likely took his time to return the stones to their proper place in the timeline due to the fact that he was already aware of the loop he was in. As it resulted for him personally to have his dream life with Peggy Carter, I doubt he really was too concerned with the idea of any kind of sacred timeline, only to pass on the legacy of Captain America to the next worthy person he could think of in Sam Wilson: a good man with a good heart. He clearly returned all the stones because the present for Sam and Buck was seamless when the older version of Steve Rogers returned with an intact shield to pass on his legacy to Sam. 

LOKI, on the other hand, obsessed with his GLORIOUS PURPOSE, sought to use the Infinity stones for a nefarious, self-serving purpose, as opposed to the Avengers who used time travel to stop the universe from being destroyed by Thanos and his dark order. The TVA snatched the variant LOKI out of the Gobi desert in Mongolia and returned a cloned version of himself back into the timestream to keep the Sacred Timeline intact, the version where LOKI was apprehended by the Avengers and taken back to Asgard to pay for his crimes. The captured variant of LOKI learned that there was no timeline where he didn't live as an antagonist or villain existing only to bring out the better versions of others like the Avengers. Mobius gives the character a bit of hope that there can be a life beyond the preset limitations set upon him by the alleged all-knowing Time Keepers. This is likely also a point of reference for the remainder of the show as this variant audibly threatened to burn down the TVA... a different, more sinister version of this character might not have the moral compass of this LOKI, i.e. the girl pointing at the image of the devil in the cathedral in the first episode. 

The existence of the variant LOKI still alive, yet replaced in his own timeline leads the viewers to question how many different LOKI variants there could be in the story. Mobius wants to understand the psychology of this variant in hopes to find a way to stop the more deadly, likely female, variant wreaking havoc on the Sacred Timeline, likely leading us back to another multiversal war between the different timeline universes. As I said before, this is a good way to bring in more characters, possibly even more cosmic characters like the Celestials, namely Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer.

Another point of reference for the story is the previous Disney+ show WandaVision. In the Miss Minutes video we learn that a divergent timeline branch that spawns a variant from the Sacred Timeline is called a NEXUS event. Wanda, we had learned is a NEXUS BEING, capable of rewriting reality due to her contact with the Mind Stone in the staff of LOKI, incredibly increasing her innate Scarlet Witch magic. We've already learned that the title of the next Sorcerer Supreme movie is Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. Could Wanda Maximoff be the catalyst for breaking the sacred timeline and expanding into a dangerous multiversal war? Are there other Nexus beings in the current MCU or will they be introducing more in the near future?

Well, this has been fun and a lot to think about I'm sure. I thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read my thoughts and hope this day finds you with blessings and joy as you watch the newest episode tonight. This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.

Misophonia

Namaste and welcome to my blog, my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to read my thoughts. Let's just jump right in and get started.

Misophonia is a disorder in which certain sounds such as eating, chewing, loud breathing, snoring, and repeated pen-clicking, for example, trigger emotional or physiological responses that some might perceive as unreasonable given the circumstances. These likely come from the sympathetic nervous system that regulates our fight, flight, or fuck responses. 

Someone who has this disorder might describe a certain sound that "drives you crazy", ranging from an angry or annoyed reaction to panic and the need to flee, a.k.a. the fight or flight response I mentioned previously. 
Although this is not recognized in the DSM-IV ("Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders") and it is not classified as a hearing or psychiatric disorder. It is thought to be related to a form of sound-emotion synesthesia, with parallels to some anxiety disorders. 

Be courteous to those with mental health issues. Treat others the way you would like to be treated, yourself. 

This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse. 

The ASSASSINATION of a Peaceful Dream.

Namaste and I welcome you to my blog on this Martin Luther King Jr. day. I hope this day finds you warm and well. Today I want to briefly write about individuals that have been assassinated for, basically no other reason than trying to spread the message of peace, love, and fellowship among humans, to the point of attempting to alleviate the suffering of the masses at the hands of the greedy, powerful, and ruthless.

I wish it weren't so, but those that seek to end the wars and end the hatred are sadly often met with more hatred and more violent responses. Dr. King, among others, wished for a peaceful dream where white folks and colored folks could live peacefully, free of hatred and discrimination, judged by the quality of character over color of skin. Imagine a world where everyone gets the same fair shake at the life they deserve. 

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Abraham Lincoln 

Mahatma Ghandi

Tupac Shakur

Benazir Bhutto

Huey Newton 

Qasim Soleilmani (I only added this person because he was on his way to Iraq to broker a peace deal between Iraq and Iran before his illegal assassination ordered by Donald J. Trump, that has increased hostilities in the middle East and strained American foreign relations with the region; our allies in NATO and United Nations.)

Notorious B.I.G.

And many many more who tried to change the world only to be met with an untimely death at the hands of an assassin.

Rest in peace. 

America's Lock-Down FAILURE

Namaste and welcome to the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back.

Those who know me can attest that I am a CST or Certified Surgical Technologist that works in cosmetic/ plastic surgery. I supported the lock down to reduce the spread of this pathogen along with the implementation of social distance, masking, and hygienic hand washing/ sanitizing practices, per CDC and other regulatory agencies guidelines. 

Dr. Fauci and other leading infection control doctors and scientists have all agreed that the worst of this pandemic could have lasted somewhere between 2 weeks to 2 1/2 months IF ALL Americans would have complied with the SUGGESTION of these precautions in social distancing and masking. Donald Trump LIED and LIED and HID THE TRUTH from the American people calling it a "hoax", "China Virus", "Kung Flu", and "Democrat conspiracy", among other nonsensical lies and slurs aimed at foreigners and liberals while DERELICT of his own duties as POTUS. At the BEST this nation has done is around 55% national compliance with the recommended Covid 19 precautions listed by the CDC. That's abysmal and embarrassing, on an international stage, for the ACTUAL CARING members of our society and to those abroad that look to the United States for hope and guidance. 

Look at Japan and Sweden for example, cases are going down there, but up here. Why? Because everyone just wears the mask there and they live in a more polite society, in many ways compared to the United States. I'm done debating with folks on it. My rights don't end where another's begins. That's not how a "free" society is supposed to be. I care about more than just myself. I served honorably in the Navy for the freedom and prosperity of this nation, that includes ALL the people, not just those that think of self over everything. I'm not at all saying that's you, but it's a sad yet prevalent attitude in our society that I'm struggling to understand. I think of it in a similar way that conservatives think about abortion. If we are outwardly yelling "all lives matter" then that includes the most fragile members of our society first and foremost. We don't do these things because they are convenient, we do them because we are good honest people that WANT to do the right things, by each other (and God, for many). If we can save a life by our lone contribution, then we have helped. I'm not about the eugenics. I think all life has value and that's where society has gone wrong. Humans have value, possessions are material. But society is rather opposite, it places high value on traits like dressing in fashionable clothing, owning big cars and big houses and having material wealth is most important, it devalues human life because we are worth more than the sum of our possessions and human labor capitol.

Let's be honest, though... due to the systemic FAILURE of the Trump administration and it's science illiterate/ science denying Cult of personality, TOO MANY Americans have died SENSELESSLY... WELL OVER 200,000. We are up to nearly 1,000 deaths PER DAY, NOW with NO END IN SIGHT!

I am absolutely NOT siding with the idiots, BUT I think it's legitimately time to END the failed lock downs (that barely over half are even exercising and participating in) and get back to business as a nation. This does NOT signal a win for the GOP, but a FAILURE as a nation, divided and likely doomed for a worse fate of many more deaths. I DON'T want anyone else to die, but as a medical worker, I can say assuredly that MOST of our patients LIE and don't follow basic pre- or post- surgical guidelines when they HAVE real necessity due to risks of complications. Americans have lost a bit of credibility with the world. 

The entertainment, hospitality, manufacturing, and service industries have been hit the hardest by this Covid pandemic and many Americans are facing huge medical bills, foreclosures, evictions, and/or dismal prospects UNTIL they are released from furlough and brought back to work with income and gainful employment; benefits like healthcare.

Suicides are up. Depression is up. Alcohol and drug use is up. Spousal abuse is up. See a pattern?

Is it an end-all, be-all solution to this problem? ABSOLUTELY NOT... poverty is on the rise as 11.8% of Americans are estimated to be not getting enough to eat, currently. That's over 1 in 10 Americans. 

Rioting and social unrest are given fuel for the fire when those protesting, many of whom WANT to go back to work to relieve their plight with a steady income stream, cannot. Among their other issues with social justice reform. 

Even before the pandemic it has been made clear by authorities that the precautions asked for now in the Covid response are the SAME universal precautions we SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN FOLLOWING. 

If you're sick... STAY HOME, WASH YOUR HANDS, COVER YOUR MOUTH, DON'T INFECT OTHERS...

In lieu of the obvious, nearly half of Americans clearly don't respect or care about one another enough to show the basic levels of decency and decorum to stop the spread of this pathogen. Ergo, I personally, think we should just STOP all the lock downs... with a caviat, being those simple restrictions listed above. 

With a vaccine looming on the horizon and we're now into the twin-demic of cold and flu season mixed with the Covid pandemic. I can tell you most assuredly that locking folks up inside has actually led to and is currently leading to MORE Covid exposures, NOT LESS, as this pathogen spreads best in warm indoor spaces where people are not masking and not following social distance guidelines. It is the antithesis of disease control if everyone is stuck inside and spreading it MORE to one another than they would have, had we just let everyone have the free-for-all the GOP so desperately desires with their claims at "God-given immunity" and "herd immunity".

Let them go to church.

Let them super-spread this pathogen among their circles.  

Let them go to watch Nascar and football. 

IDGAF any longer.  The Darwin Award goes to the science deniers and illiterate base of the GOP. May your God save your souls and all those of the people you hurt along the way.

Boom.

Just A Reminder

The government is broke. They can't even balance a checkbook, which is why they have to keep stealing from the people who fund everything, the tax payers, by raising more taxes. It's never been a money problem, it's ALWAYS BEEN A SPENDING PROBLEM by crooked politicians like Bush, Obama, and Trump that act like our taxes are their own personal checkbook. These racial tactics to divide and conquer us citizens keeps happening to distract us from how badly the upper 1% is really fucking people over. The REAL ISSUE isn't Red vs Blue, it's rich vs all the poor people they have created through their greedy exploitation of the people, the nation, and the planet, creating mass inequality and inequity for their own gain. What they fear the most is an educated populace that works together AGAINST the tyranny of the evil despotic overlords in the Federal Reserve (private bank, not part of the govt) and other private banks like the IMF, corrupt business executives, insurance companies, and foreign interference in our governance and sacred institutions like voting for President.

What's happening now is a huge bait and switch. Now people aren't talking about the woman that they want to place in the SCOTUS who wants to turn our nation into the Christian version of Sharia law or the Handmaid's Tale. Also they are trying to distract from the embarrassing "debate" performance on the latest episode of this reality we live in known as the Trump Show, where he's turned our entire nation, including the media into his own personal reality TV show. Folks need to wake the F up before this clown gets reelected and implements his intended plan of gutting social security and Medicare to make MORE money for himself and his billionaire buddies; pay back his master Putin the hundreds of millions owed in debt to the Russians.

Don't wish death upon this man Donald Trump. Do not wish him anything but a recovery so he can suffer a humiliating defeat and then subsequently he will be tried, sentenced, and incarcerated in a court of law for his tax evasion and countless other illegal and wrongdoings while in office.

FAKE-book, the Truth about Social Media and Its Users

It occurred to me recently about how fake people are to one another. This is especially true on social media platforms like Facebook, but also true in life, in general.  Jump with me down this rabbit hole and let's see where it leads...

In retrospect, it occurs to me that people don't want to hear the truth or see the ugly side of things. When we take pictures, we have to get the "best one" that portrays this glossed over fantasy so we can portray to others how wonderful we want our image to the world to be. Everything is scrutinized: every post, every sentence, every emoji, and every word.

It's no wonder to me that there is so much more depression since the advent of social media. The ambition to portray a life without "negativity or negative emotion" is exhausting. What's more depressing is that one can no longer have normal conversations with others because if your life and attitude is anything other than peachy, folks just shut you down, ridicule you, or flat out ignore you... because it doesn't fit into the bubble of cognitive dissonance where folks want to pretend that the world is anything other than sad and cruel.

It's gotten to the point where you can't even post your own opinions and thoughts without someone deciding they need to justify their comfort zone bubble by questioning the motivations of others.
Like Sigmund Freud said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

At the end of the day, the problems of the world aren't going to go away by burying our heads in the sand and ignoring things or hoping and praying they will go away, in lieu of this fantasy land image of the "perfect life" that no one I personally know actually lives. People are people, with problems, emotions, thoughts, and desires. To deny those aspects of what makes us human IS what is leading to so much anger, resentment, depression (AND suicide), social rebellion, and the keeping up with the Joneses.
When it's all said and done I would rather be alone than surrounded by fake people or have a "friend" list on FAKE-BOOK social media full of people that don't give a shit about me or my thoughts; my knowledge. 

How To Deal With the Police, Under Normal Circumstances

Namaste and welcome to my blog, my friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers. I am writing this blog in response to all the police brutality and murders as of late, incited and emboldened by the totalitarian arm of the right wing. Let's get started.

The first thing I need to make clear is that if the cops are called, be prepared for the worst response because they are. They deal with and see THE WORST parts of human society day in and day out: rape, murder, arson, theft, forgery, and all kinds of assault and battery, among other terrible things.

Second, the legal system is kind of ridiculous to believe that a civilian with NO law enforcement training should remain calm with a gun pointed at them, BUT a police officer with MUCH training is allowed to act in a moment of panic and shoot an unarmed civilian.

Third, the militarization of our law enforcement comes from the fact that according to a recent survey 1 in 5 police officers are ex-military veterans. War- grade vehicles and artillery along with paramilitary SWAT forces have created a cultural transformation among police taking them away from being "guardians" toward being "warriors" instead as these officers who once fought in places like Iraq and Afghanistan spread a culture of violence that spreads to other officers. Ex-military veterans (and statistically higher numbers of white male veterans) are often valued among police forces for their skills and discipline, that are seen by senior officers as highly regarded assets, but this sets a further divide among interracial communities and leads to fear and mistrust among the colored members of the community.
The TRUTH, however, is that often due to mental health issues, these officers are statistically more likely to engage in a quicker resort to force than a classically trained officer. Veteran officers are also statistically more likely to engage in risky and self-destructive behaviors like drug/ alcohol abuse and suicide.
The other dangerous factor to consider among police forces is the culture of machismo that limits an individuals likeliness to seek out mental health counseling and treatment after returning from an overseas deployment, facing PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorders.

Now, briefly, I want to talk about your Miranda rights. You MUST KNOW YOUR RIGHTS LEST THEY BE FORCEFULLY TAKEN AWAY!!!



Moving on, now that I've laid the foundation for this discourse I'm going to talk directly about 10 things to do or not do if you are in a situation where you are confronted by a police officer, who may or may not already be agitated.
1) Be polite and respectful. STOP when told to STOP!!!
2) SHUT THE FUCK UP. If your friend(s) are with you, tell them to shut the fuck up. You have the right to remain silent. You do NOT have to consent to illegal search and seizure.
3) Do NOT argue with the cop. If you have a grievance, you are legally allowed to file it at the precinct LATER.
4) REMEMBER: Your goal is to get HOME or wherever you are going, SAFELY AND INTACT.
5) Keep your hands IN SIGHT of the officer(s) for BOTH your safety AND theirs. Ask politely if you need to reach for something and do so slowly, ONLY when given consent by the officer.
6) NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS!!! If the officer feels threatened, he/she may pull their gun on you.
7) Do NOT attempt ANY physical contact against the officer. EVER.
8) Even if you are innocent and/or scared, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RUN OR ESCAPE!!! If they have to chase you, you might get shot or at the minimum a severe ass whooping.
9) Even if you are innocent, DO NOT RESIST ARREST. ASK for your attorney or to talk to a court appointed attorney who can help get you out of jail and serve justice if there is a mistake made my the police. Your innocence will set you free.
10) STAY CALM! Your words and body language may indeed be a trigger for an agitated officer.


Well, folks, that's about all I have to say about this subject, for now. This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse. Be good to one another and be safe in your travels.

Satan's COCK

I'm just gonna keep this short and not-so-sweet...
Several months ago during the Democratic debates, I was told, on Facebook, that anyone who supported a social needs driven agenda was a communist that sucked Satan's cock.

WHY? Because I support equal rights for ALL and I believe that ALL lives matter? Because I think the standard of America SHOULD be measured by more than just rich folks ability to get wealthier? Because I am sick and tired of our nation spending TRILLIONS on war, violence, and imperialism only to be told there's no money for our children's school education? There's no money for infrastructure like bridges and roads? There's no resources for job security, pensions, or social safety nets? But there's enough to give 1.5 TRILLION in tax breaks to the 1%?

WHY? Because I think that character, morals, and ethics are more important than skin pigment? Because I think racism is stupid? Because I think sexism is stupid? Because I think xenophobia is stupid? Because I think that we should LEARN from the past rather than being condemned to repeat those mistakes again and again?

For the record, I do NOT condone or support looting and rioting.
I do NOT support Wall Street bailouts.
I do NOT support giving billions in foreign aid while places in OUR country are beginning to look like a third world nation.
I do NOT support IMPERIALISM or having military bases in over 100 different countries, protecting THEIR borders while leaving OURS DEFENSELESS.
I do NOT condone or support the fact that TO-THIS-DAY there is still human trafficking, slavery, pedophilia, and sex cults that kidnap individuals into forced labor (including financial debt slavery).
I do NOT condone racists and bigots hiding behind their religious books as a justification for immoral behavior and shitty treatment of fellow human beings.
I do NOT condone the atrocities committed daily by those who see humans and animals as some sort of equity
I do NOT  condone our elected officials getting rich off of public service; they need to be reminded to who they work for in "We the people..."
I do NOT support the idea that my rights end where yours begin. That's NOT freedom and equality.

What I DO support is:
American innovation.
American heart and determination.
People that look beyond the superficial to see the exceptional.
People that care more about quality, sustainability,  and value than they do about cheap cost.
People that value ALL life as precious, NOT JUST HUMAN. NOT JUST RACIALLY BIASED.
