People will normally want to think about the question asked and rationalize a pragmatic answer based upon their own experiences and perceptions of reality.

When we are standing still, are we not moving? We are moving around our sun, around the galaxy as the galaxies are moving away from each other.

Another recollection:
~ “There was a beautiful woman who lived in a world where all of the people had pig noses and she felt terrible and ugly because she didn’t look like everyone else and yet she was a beautiful person.”

That’s the kind of Socratic method used by Sterling to make people think.

The best question he ever asked was this:
“If a man is walking on a beach and comes upon a pebble then throws that pebble into the ocean, did he change the destiny of the pebble or was it meant to be thrown into the ocean by him on that day on the beach.” ~

That’s thought provoking and powerful…

Rod Sterling’s greatest strength was that he forced the world to think. He portrayed scenes of a counter intuitive rational or behavior that helped people learn from the contradictions and the possibilities of life on earth.

He asked questions about the reality we perceive and what’s real or not.

Rod Serling used ‘The Twilight Zone’ to say what 1950s TV wasn't allowed to say. Fans at SerlingFest argue his lessons still hold up.

The orange buffoon has played the victim all of his silver spoon fed nasty ass life!

As he’s ditching his financial obligations to the contractors he screwed over, to the insurrection he created, to the sex scandals with young girls, & to the Rule of Law in America, Don is always is playing victim.

Did I hear little Mikie say that he cares about the capital police?

The same Capital Police that were horse whipped bye a drunken mob of insurrectionist trash that were fallowing Comrade Krasnov’s lead.

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 11h

This punck ass little bitch is just so full of shit 💩 and shame that his legitimacy as a law maker sounds like a bad joke.

He’s definitely blowing sheets out of his ass for this Chester President…

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 1d

Mikie is blaming the shutdown on the Marxists?

While the ignorant buffoon continues to praise his billionaire buddies for their political contributions as millions of Americans will lose their healthcare after the midterms?

Now the gutless GOP cares about the Capital Police?

January 6th? Huh?

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 11h

The Chester President is pulling their strings so tight that they are going to dissolve into shredded pork of the nastiest kind of pig…

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 1d

The terrorist wing of the Party?

You can’t make this shit up.

What about the healthcare of millions of Americans?

The Supreme Court’s rulings aren’t helping the American people or the country and it seems fairly obvious to me that they have been corrupted by this Chester Presidency.

Supreme Court reforms are needed and they will have to answer to a higher authority than their own for the first time in history.

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 11h

Congress is sucking Trump wad so the Judiciary has no choice but to buck the system during normal times with a rational President, but this Chester Presidency is raising all kinds of havoc on the Nation and something has to give.

The GOP is gutless so the Judiciary has no but to Stand and Deliver…

With the gutless GOP Congress on bended knee to President Pervert, the Supreme Court is trying to please their perverted Dude in distress…

A judicial crisis is putting it mildly!

The Supreme Court is sucking Dumpy so hard that they can blow sheets out of their own asses…

Comrade Krasnov is trying to convince Americans that there’s an invisible insurrection going on so he can postpone the midterms because he knows he’s dead in the water after that election.

Americans are sick of this dog and pony show and the creepy little Chester trying to distract us from Epstein.

I wish others were as tough, not because Crockett is whooping that ass, but because she is doing it so precisely, predictably, and effortlessly. That’s charisma. I don’t know if Baby got back or not.

Congresswoman Crockett doesn’t play that game. Like I said, she’s a Gladiator of the people.

👀🌺

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 5d

Correction, above; I’m talking straight to her face. My bad.

Yes, that Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world. I don’t understand why people are buying garlic from China. That’s the disconnect, people just don’t think when they shop or they don’t give a fuck at all.

But, messing with Crockett?

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 5d

I just don’t understand why white folks and others, but especially the white privileged people in today’s political climate, keep fucken trash talking Representative Jasmin Crockett. I’m talking straight her face.

Being a brown brother from Gilroy and Southern Arizona I know when I should shut up!

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 5d

We are here, and we have always been here. Working hard to support our families and our communities just like fucken everybody else.

Chicano Power is a movement that needs to be reborn or I need to get into the community, but it’s not an easy task because if you don’t have the right message u done.

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 5d

Enter Congresswoman Crockett, she has the toughness of a boxer, a wrestler, and football player combined.

If she has a weakness, the GOP doesn’t have a clue.

That’s because she the real deal. Jasmine is a Representative of the People for the People and her oath of office is to the Constitution.

Roger @blondtiger.bsky.social · 5d

I remember telling a lady in a grocery store that I was a Chicano after she asked me how I learned Spanish. She stated that they were “debajo” below the average Mexican I guess, I wasn’t in a position to debate her about her sentiments & I respected her as a person so it didn’t bother me that much.
