Excessive Baggage pt. 2
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal
Paul Desmond and Desmond Tutu shared a name. This, of course, means nothing. But it is suspicious. Because my mind seeks order. It seeks sense out of nonsense. It yearns to banish the chaos of uncertainty. About this, I’m certain. Or, maybe not. You see, that last sentence was a fine example of chaos to order. But it is my order. Someone else may have a very different sense of order. Leaving me in a state of chaos, or the state of Idaho. Either way, it’s confusing.
Was that last paragraph a serious revelation of my own feeling of chaotic uncertainty? Or, the set up for a joke? Assuming the joke was gotten, or even worthy of attention, so it might be gotten. Only God, with a capital G, knows for sure.
This reminds me of The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal. Why? Because I wish to write the words “The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal.” Of this, I’m certainly, uncertain, which is the living embodiment of Heisenberg’s lack of certainty.
To whit I say “adios amigos….adios!

Giant Lizards Giant Apes (and something even more frightening)
Imagine a lizard that was 20, maybe 25 ft long. It looked like a modern-day komodo dragon, only much, much bigger. It could swim like a crocodile, but, unlike the crocodile, it was a good deal faster on land. And it didn’t tire easily, either. Meaning, if it pursued you, you had little chance of escaping, whether on land or in the water. The giant reptile lived until about 50,000 years ago, a speck in time, geologically speaking.
Some people believe that Megalania, (The creatures name) is still alive. They even claim to have seen it. That would be cool, for sure. But I doubt it. Just the possibility that it could still be lurking out there, in the wilds of Australia—a land of some very strange creatures—is energizing. I mean, they have 20 ft saltwater crocodiles and 7 ft rodents that will kick your ass, so a giant lizard may not be all that unlikely. Besides, I’d be more afraid of a funnel web spider. (Have you ever seen one of those suckers? Talk about frightening!)
And, what about that Gigantopithecus? A giant orangutan-like creature. That was maybe, 10 ft tall, and like, 1200lbs. Giganto hung around until about 100K ago. Although you guessed it, some folks say the big ape is still around, out there, living in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Apparently, the big guy traipsed across a land-bridge sometime during the last ice age (or was it the previous ice age?)
Do I really care about which ice age it was? No. Because Giganto is cool. And maybe, just maybe, he turned into Bigfoot. How likely is this? Not very. But, when your chilling, and basically looking for an excuse to write, why not write about this kind-of stuff. I’m tired of politics. They make me sick. I’ve never seen such dishonesty. All of them. I mean, every last one…….except Trump.
I just thought I’d get that in there.
Goodnight America. And goodnight to The Donald.

Socialism Kills
Socialism doesn’t produce wealth any more than labor unions do. That’s a simple, undeniable fact. Wealth comes from entrepreneurs who risk their own money in order to make a profit. If they profit, they reinvest a portion of it and create more wealth, thereby creating jobs and more jobs. That’s how a real economy works. This is no less true of government. If government creates jobs that lose money, they can only be sustained one way, by raising taxes. In other words, politicians and bureaucrats—unlike actual businesses—can forcibly take money from their constituents, in order to keep their bad ideas afloat—and then, when all else fails, they can simply blame the opposition. In a socialized economy bad ideas can be sustained like this indefinitely. But, only as long as there are enough employed tax payers to foot the bill. In a truly free economy, a bad idea will fail like a man jumping from a plane without a parachute at 10,000 feet. He may believe he can fly, but he’ll find the truth soon enough. As cruel as this sounds, it’s natures efficient method of self-correction. Socialism, by comparison, is the denial of nature and natural law. It masquerades as charity, but eventually becomes tyranny. This is what happens when a very small number of people have the power of life, death, and taxes over their citizens.
