Tunes on Tuesday ~ Danger Zone
I feel the need… the need for speed
Following my post Blinding Lights earlier today, I thought that we would all like to see this classic Kenny Loggins track from the movie Top Gun.
Well, it makes me smile, and smiles are in short supply right now.

Tunes on Tuesday ~ Blinding Lights
my ego was writing checks my body couldn’t cash
This track and video from ‘The Weekend’ turned up utterly at random after I’d cleaned all the cookies and browsing history from my computer. You know what? I like it a lot, especially the girls’ vintage-looking white shoes. Very Top Gun.
And perhaps the aircraft are Hellcats ~ let me know if I’m wrong.
BTW, in my current weakened state I didn’t manage much of a dance routine.

Random Jottings ~ Walking
walking brings a real man back to freedom

not all those who wander far afield are lost
~
meditative walking brings wisdom and love back into your life
~
some say walking is the best exercise
while others say the best exercise is swimming
meanwhile, smart guys prefer sex
~
everywhere in the world is withing walking distance
if you have the time
~
the footpath right outside your door
will take you to wherever you want to go
~
if you walk ten miles a day
eventually you will be so far away your ex will never find you
~
no matter how hard you try
walking in flip flops is not sexy

cycling has a couple of things in its favour
In a Country Churchyard
I’m not allowed to take an aeroplane to anywhere
but there are some places I can still go

At the north end of the bay the old town is now called The Headland, and it has been fortified since at least the 12th century. The last time it was attacked was on December 16th 1914, when German battle cruisers bombarded the town. Over 100 people were killed. The gun in the picture dates from Napoleonic times. The modern battery is now a museum.

The 13th century parish church of St. Hilda’s was built on the site of a 7th century monastery. It’s far too big for the size of today’s congregations.

The old town is very peaceful now.

Inalienable Rights
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

~
To any right-thinking man it is self-evident that governments are created to protect our unalienable rights ~ freedoms endowed upon us by our creator, and which supersede any man-made laws. These natural rights include; the right to think for oneself, the right to life, the right to self-defence, and these rights remain throughout one’s lifetime.
From the beginnings of common law these were rights which could not be surrendered to the sovereign or government, and were independent of any and all laws. In fact any contract or law that tries to alienate such rights would be inherently invalid. There is no act of submission by which man can give up the state of a free agent and enslave himself, for by doing so he would lose his humanity. He would cease to be a man.
This was the entire point of American Independence, the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, the abolition of slavery, and in the case of we English the regicide of Charles I in 1649. Go further back and read the second and most important book of the Torah and the Old Testament, and you will see that the Exodus is also about these same inalienable rights.
And yet, the governments of the supposedly free western world have been using the peoples’ dumb acquiescence to take away these God given rights, on the grounds that it’s for our own good.
Let us leave aside the really big events, things which drove a coach and horses through all of our freedoms, things such as; the Prohibition of Alcohol, Income Tax, the Draft during the Vietnam War, and England joining the European Union. Instead let us consider the petty restrictions that officialdom has imposed upon us because of the non-existent threats of the COVID-19 virus;
- house arrest for months
- a prohibition on meeting other people
- compulsory wearing of useless face masks
- compulsory frequent testing for the coronavirus
- compulsory vaccination by threats and intimidation
- the closure of bars, pubs, restaurants, theaters, and churches
- a total prohibition on travel, which is only now being slowly lifted
Actually it’s worse than all that, there has also been a vast propaganda campaign to convince us that the coronavirus is a threat to civilisation as great as the Black Death, and an insidious creeping censorship of the news media.
Once given these controls over the general public, governments and their lackeys will not easily surrender them. Not any government, not ever.
