#WhyIAmASolo - I Don't Have To Explain Myself At Meetings.

As a lawyer getting back involved in Bar stuff, I am attending some meetings of Committees, and I am learning again about how to have effective interaction; albeit, through a video camera on Zoom. My suggestion to Bar members who host committee meetings: make sure everyone knows the purpose of the meeting, have an agenda and stick to it, and keep it short and sweet. So far, my Committee chairpersons are doing that. If not, this solo lawyer will be turning off the camera and bugging out. Now, go back to your meeting, and let everyone know why they are there.

Jessica Rabbit Is Too Sexy For Disney?

Jessica Rabbit Removed From Disney Ride. Apparently, there is no room for sexy in ToonTown. While not admitting it in public, the Jessica Rabbit character in a car trunk is too violent or sexy for Disney, and the character has been removed without comment. This calls to mind the removal of the scene in Pirates of the Caribbean of the scene where Pirates are chasing women around after taking the town. In Woke America, if you remove scenes of violence from cartoons and theme park rides, the world will be a safer place. Of course, actually funding police to stop crime isn't the answer. One more reason why Disney isn't a destination for me anymore. In the meantime, here is a picture of the buxom Ms. Rabbit for your viewing enjoyment.

 

It's 1948. What Are You Getting Your Wife For Xmas?

It's a no brainer! A Proctor two slice automatic toaster, of course! "I love it!", said no wife, ever. I was born in 1947. I am relatively certain that, if my dad had bought this for my mom, I wouldn't be here to write about it.

FairPhone - What Does Built With Care For The Planet Mean?

Fairphone. I really hate virtue signaling. So much of our current "Look at me, I'm better than you" climate is so fake and phony. FairPhone really wants to make a lot of money selling cell phones. Does it advertise based upon its benefits as compared to Samsung or Apple phones? No, it says you should buy our phone because "we care about the environment". Humans have been responsible for some of the climate change that is inevitable anyway. The mass delusion that we can forestall the inevitable changes in the earth by going back to the Stone Age and getting rid of fossil fuels completely is a fool's errand. If you think that buying a hybrid car, or paying a carbon tax to some bureaucracy somewhere, or buying a cell phone because a profit making corporation says it is virtuous, is a good thing, do it. But, don't ask me to applaud you because you are a nicer, more caring, or better human being than I am. If we want to stop using fossil fuels, how about we find better forms of energy production? How about working on safer ways to use nuclear power? How about working on solutions to the problem? Buying a product from a virtue signaling company, or paying a carbon tax that does nothing but enrich the receiver is not the way to do it. Okay, rant over. I am going to get into my fossil fuel powered car now, and go to work at an office that has air conditioning and lights powered by an energy company and avoid the 90 degree heat that is typical this time of year.

If You Can Read, You Don't Need A Live Guru.

Most of the wisdom I have acquired in life came from life experience, and reading the stuff coming from the minds of wise people. Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius didn't seek fame or fortune, or charge money. Epictetus was a slave whose wisdom was written down by his students. Marcus Aurelius was an Emperor who didn't want the job; but, did the job as best he could, and wrote ideas and thoughts down for his own uses. I don't trust any person who claims to have a direct line to wisdom, and then charges money for the service. So, when I got an ad this morning offering the services of a "Live Guru", I didn't respond. You don't need to pay money to a religion or philosopher in order to find happiness. Buy a book written by someone smarter than you are, and read it. There. I just saved you a few thousand dollars. You're welcome.
