Aside from the mismanagement of the medical supply chain, why blame Trump? At least 30% of Americans are crazy and lack common sense. Trump didn't force them to sing in choirs, go to rallies, have family gatherings, hang out in large numbers in indoor bars. He didn't forbid them to wear masks. Americans just hate their neighbors. Masks save lives - who the Hell cares? Infect your grandma, or someone else's. They think the numbers are fake and it's all a Democratic, socialist, communist, Black Lives Matter, Jewish, Muslim, gay, Gates, plot. Wear a mask, wash your hands, keep your distance, avoid crowds, stay safe.

Techgoddess - Sorry! I didn't look at the previous page. And I'm a little quick to call people idiots. But I'm so distraught that people don't take the virus seriously, including the president. And I read such crazy and bizzar things here. And No, 72 isn't too old to pay someone to deface your skin and possibly leave you with a very nasty infection.

You're not too old at all. Have "I'm an idiot," tatted across your forehead. With the virus rampant, what you really need is to create a large inked opening in your skin for the virus to enter. Wash your hands, wear a mask, keep your distance, stay inside, be safe.

I not only respond to comments, which are few, but I make an effort to read one of the commentator's stories, if the commentator is a writer. This has led me to read interesting work and make friends that are worth making. If a writer is too busy to acknowledge comments she/he shouldn't publish. There ims a process involved and the writer should conform to the process.

Stormdog - Sorry! By published authors I meant people who have had books published or stories published in anthologies, not people published on Lush. Your attitude toward those new to Lush really enforces the need for a comp restricted to those who are new. You might see how much correction I need and check the correction that changed a needed plural to a singular. In the last comp, of 3 winners and 20 mentions, there wasn't one without an art emogi. The judges see familiar names and know who writes well. The work should be judged without the judges being aware of who wrote it. (If that isn't the case now.) If you do't want to punish Lush long timers by exclusion, have a comp restricted to long timers, or better still, long time very best writers.

Sprite Sorry, sorry, by published authors I meant people who have had books published or stories in anthologies. People published on Lush (who have been here 30 months or fewer,) are fine. In the last comp, of 23, winners and mentions there wasn't without an art amogi.

I would like a comp restricted to those who have been on the site 30 months or fewer, are not comp winners and are not published authors. At least half the judges would come from the same group and judging would be based on content, not how well the entry was embellisshed with art.

I spent my first college year at a junior college where, having little interest in classes, I played a lot of bridge in the student union. One of the bridge players was a leggy blond who discovered over coffee that I practically passed her house on the commute to school. We decided to car pool. Which is a long introduction to telling that she was the first female I ever heard say, "fuck," which she shouted out the car window at someone who tooted a horn. Soon she was complaining about her period and telling me about being fitted for an IUD. She went on to complain the her current boyfriend's cock wasn't sufficiently large and anyway, her girlfriend was a much better lover. Graphic descriptions of sexual encounters made the commute go quickly but made it difficult to concentrate on driving. One morning while telling me how her girlfriend knew how to lift the cover of her clit with her tongue, she noticed a bulge in my pants and asked if I wanted (needed) a blow job. Like an idiot I thanked her but told her we were almost at school.

As it's the week of Memorial Day, please read In Flanders Fields. It's micro, will only take 2 minutes and will satisfy your obligation to really think about Memorial Day. I'm hesitent about self promotion but it has been reviewed kindly by some of the site's most gifted writers. And then I'll read your best story.

Some of you who run might want to read: "Once A Runner" by John L. Parker Jr. It is thought of as the definative book on distance running. When I ran in college and took Track and Field Method for credit we wer told that you never paracticed at the distance you were going to race. You ran short for speed and long for endurance. My Osteopath told me I should have quit running at 40.

Both Artful Dodger and Buz denegrated the VA. You haven't said they are off topic. Pres. Trump is slowly privatizing the VA and vets are being given vouchers for private care. The VA was given as bad example of what universal health care would be like. It is a good example. I attempted, in my ignorant way, to point that out. Sorry my text and spelling offended you.

I doubt if the Artful Dodger or Buz have ever visited a VA facility, much less been treated at one. I can only speak for the VA medical care I have received. I have always been able to access care when I needed it and been treated with great courtesy and respect. There is never more than a 15 minute wait when you check in to see a doctor. The Navy coremen who take blood pressure, etc., are courteous and business like. Doctors have time to listen and offer alternatives. I pay a $7 co pay for a drug that costs more than $1,000 a month. I can access my medical records on line and any VA specialist I see has access to my complete records. I am very healthy. The VA has accessable mental health, weight loss and drug addiction programs. The VA didn't tell me to "Go fuck myself," I was told to come in and be healthy. The VA is one of the world's most efficient health care systems. Ninety eight percent of Vets getting VA care would not want it privitised.

I agree with 24 of the 26 statements made by Well Made Male. Not agreeing with 2 probably makes me a Liberal and not a Progressive. !. No one needs a gun. You're more likely to win the lottery than have to defend yourself against an armed intruder. But a gun in the house means your kid can become one of the 2,500 that die of gun shot wounds yearly. The 2nd Amendment gives one the right to join the National Guard, not own an AK 47. 2. Sure, let's let the wonderful Palestinians , who are just awfull to women, and blow up Jewish pre schools with rockets, have all of Palestine. Over the decades they've rejected every opertunity to have a state . They are poligimists who teach their children in school that Jews are donkeys and apes and need to be killed. Gaza functioned well when Israelis ran it. Now it is an open sewer. The West Bank is more than big enough for peaceful coexistance. Now instead of talking Abbas wants to incite violence.
