Age: 47
Sex: Female State: Dead Reason: Running off road on Bear Valley, Escondido, California at 3:45 a.m. and hitting a tree San Diego U-T, 9/1/21 Cause: Alcohol consumption * * * * * * * * Age: Unknown Sex: Female State: Major injuries Reason: Falling out of a party bus on I-5 in National City, California at 8:10 p.m. Cause: Wanted to use rest room at back of bus and accidentally opened emergency door and fell into traffic lanes, sustaining life-threatening injuries. San Diego U-T, 8/30/21 Since it occurred in a Party Bus, alcohol is assumed the cause. No report as of writing. * * * * * * * * Let's see ... State and Federal legislators declared war on Tobacco Companies because Americans were tired of second-hand smoke from human chimneys. When will they declare war on Liquor Interests for creating human distilleries and breweries driving intoxicated, killing or maiming themselves or others? Indeed, when will Washington, D.C. bureaucrats EVER consider liquor in any form America's Number One Safety threat on our roads? Since cocktail parties are essential to D.C. society—the bane Abba Eban called "Man's inhumanity to man"; and since Senate, House and Presidential coffers swell with alcohol-infected dollars, just hope you aren't where an alcohol-sated driver is in the wrong way lane headed at you; or won't run onto your sidewalk and kill or maim you; or won't hit you crossing a street with a green light and find an out-of-control distillery hitting you with enough force to drive you through the windshield, PARTLY into the car, while the driver continues driving! The political figures, who should be preventing alcohol-related injuries and death, CAUSE them by refusing to declare war against the Liquor Industry by loving their product SO MUCH MORE!

Adolph Hitler died at 56 years, at his own hand, inside his Berlin bunker. He wrote one book and ruled one nation, while his misanthropic rage killed 30-40 million between 1932-1945. His right-wing dictatorship had but one competition as a killing machine—Joseph Stalin's left-wing dictatorship responsible for 30 plus million lives in Russia and Ukraine in the 1920-1930's.
Abraham Lincoln died at 56 years, felled by an assassin's bullet. Born in poverty, he lived "the short and simple annals of the poor" until his election to the Presidency in 1860. As much a victim of the Civil War as any soldier dying for either side, he single-handedly forged, through repeated defeats to ultimate victory, a Federal Union from a previous Union of States. The three personalities teach a spiritual lesson appropriate to this Memorial Day, 2021: a person's life-goal determines his policies, pursuits, productivity and place in history. Like the three, our goals directly affect our impact on life. We need a life-goal high enough to exceed our ability to reach it. Otherwise, once reached, fulfilled or satisfied, we have exhausted our life-purpose. And, we either STOP creating or, like George Eastman, STOP living by taking his own life 3/14/32, saying his work was done—why work? Internet, 5/28/2021 Trying every possible way to be like Jesus is the one life-goal never achieved now, and only incrementally achieved in Eternity, sans perfection. That goal, always before us, higher than any reach, beyond any effort, stimulates us with relentless desire that rewards every ounce of effort with tons of blessings. With this benefit besides: it's the only goal, of all those mortals may establish, that death enhances, not interrupts. Settle for no goal that WON'T continue into eternity. |
