Good Morning Digital Neighbors across Locals! Dear Refugees, Phamily & Triggeratti! Happy Saturday Early Birds, Dawn Patrol, Later Dayers, Day Walkers, Conversants, Supports, Beautiful Bigots and Fascinating People! A last look at Richard P. Feynman.
For our friends at Triggernometry, these type of posts I do over on Rubin Report, Phetasy and Padre's Monday through Friday with some variance and personalization for the different communities. Lent is coming so my posting in all these communities except Padre's will be taking a break until Easter. Less time on the internet and more time with prayer, books and reflection. It won't be a total internet fast, but the consumption will be greatly reduced. The challenge will be to minimize the use of the cellphone as well to communication only, calls, texts and e-mails.
One quote to rule them all, One quote to find,
One quote to bring them all and on the internet brighten them.
On the site of Locals where freedom lies.
Cheezie, I know. š§The crappy Lord of the Rings series from Amazon is on my mind this morning among other things. I know I won't miss all the the transgendered Ents or the Critical Race Balrog. Take a classic and grind it up with a lifeless and dull ideology in the hopes of making more loot.
On to Feynman!
No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression. Nor should it pronounce on the validity of economic, historic, religious, or philosophical doctrines. Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race.
I couldn't agree it more and can we find any government that will fulfill these clear cut directives? 2020 opened the eyes of many to how quickly a government will curtail your rights and limits their return as if the rights were from the government rather than God or so other exterior force outside of the will of human beings. Happy Saturday Free People!

Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman FranƧois-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).
Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the āSun Kingā (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaireās main love was writingāan endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...
Happy National Autistic Pride Day! Here's hoping you're not too socially awkward to find celebrating with others exhausting. What an odd thing to proud of.
Anyway, here's some terrible memes from which you're cordially invited to choose your (least?) favourite.
