Curiosities

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Yesterday, I think it was, I read an article explaining why the Supreme Court refused to rule on the same-sex marriage question. The writer says the court wants to measure same-sex popularity before deciding. I thought: The People voted it down in 39 states, including California. The real issue is federal judges nullifying popular will, because there is no historical precedent in our history or the common law for same-sex marriage. Its nothing that once existed or was ever reserved for elites. Its new under the Sun. So the writer's thesis is nonsense.

Roberts et al sent a signal to the appellate courts to unanimously strike down laws prohibiting same-sex marriage so no one has to make waves at election time. Its also a precedent: If 9-10 federal appeals courts can nullify popular will for one thing will they do it for others and take the powers of the states and people. Sure. Power is like a credit card, the courts will use it up.

Is Thought Instinct

I'm a psychologist by training.

I spend long hours observing animals. Cats, dogs, snakes, insects.

Much of what I see seems to be meditated or pre-meditated, though I'm satisfied impulsive action is instinctual. The kittens follow mama cat out of the garage for a hunting lesson, the solid black kitten wanders away from the file to explore in the lilies, mama halts the march and brings him back.

Wasps and bees in my garden seem to know me and almost never sting me. Is instinct associated with novelty?

Is thought rapid instinct?

Theyre not smart, though.

Thirty years ago I owned a black cat named CALVIN. He was treated well but left and took up with an old lady down the road. And one day he returns, fat, sleek, with a rhinestone collar, and no balls.

I said to him, THE GRASS ISNT ALWAYS GREENER AND BALLS IS WHAT A WOMAN REALLY WANTS.

Ya, but you now have a rhinestone collar. So many uses-fish bowl rocks, poor man frisbee, step up from Walmart gf bracelet (shhh she won't know they aren't real). Good trade for a pair of useless balls.

Yuh know whats wrong with men today? Almost none get mumps in their balls anymore. A boy who can cope with THAT kind of pain has no problem with bullets or spears in his guts.

No, I don't think so. Animals think, at some level, whether they are human or some other form. Even wasps and bees. Yours know you mean them no harm, undoubtedly.

WHAT IF! Mind reading is the rule and language is like finger holes on a flute.

I used to be able to send and receive mental images. No joke. I think other animals can probably do that, also. I think it's kind of a lost ability for humans, pretty much.

I think language enables people to stay in their heads too much. If there was np language we wouldn't think so much silly shit.

Sure we would, language just allows us to share it, or in some cases...produce spewing vomit that covers everything and even tomato juice can't get the stink out.

I'd like to know the first time a federal court ever reversed a vote of the American people. I'll bet it was in the last ten years or so.

Its been lately.
