….I don’t know….ask the Vikings….or people walking across from the West….they were there first….anyway,….this is what… “THEY” say…. On March 24 536AD…..now, how do they get the exact date?…it’s not like anyone’s around to tell them…and don’t give me that carbon testing theory….anyway,….the sky suddenly darkened across continental Europe….so you’re telling me…Europe’s been around that long?…see what I mean?….anyway,….and a big dust cloud hung around…and stayed put…for about 18 months….kinda like a week in LA….and since the sun rays couldn’t get through the smog…crops died, summer frost and snow showers….and three years later….they were hit with another cloud….and that one blocked out all of the light…for several months…and that lead to famine, plague….you get the picture…and they blame it on North America’s volcanoes….and yes….back in 324AD….North America existed….wouldn’t you like to know what New York looked like in 536AD?
BACTERIA WITH SYNTHETIC DNA CREATE PROTEIN NEVER FOUND IN NATURE….Reading that scared the shit out of me….our DNA like everything else on this rock…is made of four nucleotides…A,C,G and T….did my mom tell any of you that….because I lived with the woman…and this is the first time I’m hearing this…..anyway,…A,C,G,& T makes sure to produce 20 different amino acids….and they say hello to other stuff….and made sure you were able to wake up and read this nonsense…. anyway,…they even repair damaged cells….and a lot of people who survived the 70’s took a deep breath…..anyway,….a biotech startup…..Synthorx said they broke the limits of biology…by adding new building blocks to a bacteria’s genetic code…..excuse me, but all my life….my parents told me to stay away from bacteria’s….anyway,….and they claim this could be the first step towards the discovery of new, more effective drugs and vaccines….ok,….I have two and a half questions…..and this is me talking….1)…could you please define “effective drugs”…and 2)…and if the effective drugs are obliviously supposed to work….why do I need a vaccine injection?…Synthorx added two more nucleotides….X and Y (sound familiar?)…to the bacteria’s DNA….and they combined with our 4…to make up to 172 different amino acids….over “80” time the 20 commonly found in nature…..you have to read this…really!
COSTA RICA IS SHUTTING DOWN ALL ZOOS AND FREEING EVERY ANIMAL….They will become the first country to free all the captive animals they hold…Costa Rica is a very biodiverse country….due to contract obligations they have to keep two zoos open for the next decade…they want to create a free habitat for animals to live in….they also banned hunting for sport…they want us to know they care and respect wild animals….environmental minister…Renè Castro says… “We are getting rid of the cages and reinforcing the idea of interacting with biodiversity in botanical parks in a natural way.”…those which they think would not survive in the wild…will be cared for in rescue centers and wildlife sanctuaries.
MAKE ENGLISH THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE IN THE U.S……Okay!….I’m sure the United Kingdom will be happy about that decision….but…..and I still love that word….what about the immigrants from…France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain….the Baltic region….Russia….the Nordic area….North, South and Eastern Asia….South and Central America….don’t they have a say-so?….how about the group who were imported….they have over…1,250 to 2,100….and by some counts….3,000 spoken languages where they were stolen from….I’ll tell you what….let’s ask the…Native tribes called….Crow/Absaroke….Cherokee/Aniyunwiya…..Choctaw/Chahta….Slavery/Dene Tha (true people)….Navajo/Dine’e (the people)….Cree/Iyiniwok…Cheyenne/Tsitsistas…or the Apache (Zuni word for “enemy”/Ndee (the people)…..since they were the first ones here away!….I look at it this way…..communication isn’t hard….just….communicate….Nicole and I walk down the street….and hear 10 different languages before we hit the corner…I’ve been in places and met people…and we didn’t know what the hell we were saying…until we found a way to understand each other….just communicate!
NO MAN LAND – KENYA’S WOMEN-ONLY VILLAGE….Umoja is a matriarchal refuge where men are not allowed….the village was founded by Rebecca Lolosoli….and is meant to be a safe haven for women and girls who want to escape abuse…Rebecca is a member of the Samburu tribe….she witnessed violence as a child….and realized some of the Samburu traditions were abusive towards women and began speaking out against these practices….and in favor of widows, orphans, and victims of rape, female genital cutting and forced marriages…things got out of hand when she spoke up for women who were raped by British soldiers training near her village….so the men in her village beat her up and her husband did nothing to stop them….so in 1990…she led a female exodus from her village and started her own…and it has evolved into a thriving self-sustaining village….the women have taken up jewelry making and other crafts…and are able to provide for themselves and their children by opening up the village as a tourist attraction…they’ve also pooled their resources and set up a sick and disability fund, a community center and a school…..men are forbidden to live in the village…but can visit as long as the abide by the women’s rules.
