Random Thought Tonight on People Being Killed By The Police

I am indifferent to black people being killed by police as I am indifferent to white people, native people, Asian people, or Hispanic people being killed by police. Sure some cops shouldn't be cops, Yanez and Noor for example. But I don't believe people being killed by cops in the USA is anywhere close to a huge societal problem or massive injustice. It's something that the media blows out of proportion. I am cynical about the motivations of the media for doing it.

The OGRE Is Learning Some Humility

In case you didn't know what OGRE stands for, this is from my original blog post at this blog:

And for those that do not know an OGRE is an Opinionated Genius Right Everytime. An OGRE will use the Right hand of reason along with the Left fist of "bullshitastical dumbassery" to beat and eat Trolls and devour or maim anyone else that dares to cross their path. 

I am now changing the meaning of the word to Opinionated Guy Right Every-so-often.  I guess the stroke, all the stuff I read online thanks to social media, and changes in my philosophic/theological outlook has taught me some humility.  There is a lot of "bullshitastical dumbassery" in the world.  I'll try to do less of that and listen to what people are actually saying, or trying to say, and actually respond to it in a meaningful way.  Our public discourse has become far too divisive and I think adding to the BSDA is a dead end road.  Being right doesn't matter as much as getting it right or at least heading in that direction.
