I am so pleased that I did not have to judge the case. I feel sorry for the judge. That was so difficult  to come up with an impartial  decision.   

In Chinese medicine having an illness is normal, provided you recover without much difficulty. Their emphasis is on  health as the road to a speedy recovery. I know their stats are maintained differently than ours but considering their numbers they certainly have done well so far. 

The number and variety of potential viruses seems to be endless. But avoidance only works until a recovered patient turns up alive and breathing to spread their antibodies among everyone else. Of course medics like to refine the serum down to a pure antidote without all the other oddities that may be swimming in patient zero's bloodstream and test the result on a captive audience.

The news media is completely free  to inspire interest, fear,  self and global panic and terrorize everyone with the fearful barrage of news about the dead and dying from this tiny little collection of atoms that self-replicates  in us killing everyone it grows in. The disease simply seeks food and reproduction and we are on the menu. Medics seek to find that one thing the disease wants to eat more than me and kill it by toxic overload or find a way to put the invader on the dinner table for cells in our bodies to see as food.

I like my view more than the Star Wars version the News media likes to clean our clocks with. 

Considering the cost of zoo animals it seems rather stupid to kill young surplus animals that could be sold or exchanged in trade.

How much ink do you have? *.* (print)

I frightened my cat so much that it ran up the wall and across the ceiling upside down for 8 feet before dropping down on a couch and out an open ground floor window. Didn't come back home for three days. That was many years ago and I thought it may have eaten some pharmecutical grade LSD-25 from Sandos I had around at the time.

My distilled drinking water. Unlike the tap water there are no minerals, chlorine, water-softeners, dissolved gas or seasonal variable cement in my water. My kidneys don't ache with stones and I feel healthy and fit more than anyone I know who continues to drink that digusting sludge from the tap. It passes safe water drinking standards by the state, even though it is liquid death applied to a garden.    

I have known those who happily dished-out punishment for undeserved accolades and lost their foolish pride in a gutter while clenching a bottle as their eventual reward. Truth is stranger than fiction especially when inebriated arrogance meets the clear light of day. 

My need to answer calls for vengeance has expired into my understanding of ignorance and my prayerful desire for the shared enlightenment of others.  

I don't see any problem with the issue. Love is not to be subject to legislation.  

I have gold that I mined....a few ounces. It was easy to just go out and pan some up in a creek for most of my life. Made a tidy income for years and made most of it into jewlery. Now the government wants all mining shut down here and press everyone into some form of slavery rather than getting by on your own work. The gold I have is very useful because gold can be used to join two dissimilar metals/materials together cleanly and strongly. Using a little bit of gold, like solder stainless steel, titanium, Niobium, carbide, etcetera...can be simply joined by soldering. Typically the materials need to match in shape at the join and just a tiny bit of gold sweats into the gap. Or you can electroplate the join area on both pieces and apply heat and pressure. There are many other techniques and applications as well. Titanium frame eye glasses are joined with gold as well. I like all the applications I have for it which are far more extensive than I have mentioned here. But then, to me, the value of gold is in its application more than money for ounces of the stuff in a bank vault. That seems like a real waste of time and resources.

More information is needed. Horsepower, AC? DC? RPM? Shaft size, Functional application, and that sort of thing.
