East Meadow, L.I.: Our government seems to be hell bent on ruining itself. A balloon enters its airspace and they shoot it down, then warn citizens not to touch it or go near it. Sounds logical to me, but if you didn’t know what’s in it, why did you shoot it down? I’ve seen jetliners get refueled in midair, I’ve seen ballistic nets shot over a man running on an airstrip you can’t tell me there was not a more nimble way to bring it down.
Chicago: I keep asking theists: What does one do in heaven? They keep running away from this question. Oh sure, I get cheap answers like, “We will be working hard,” “you won’t be bored, don’t worry” (well, that is not what I was asking). None of them go into detail.
Bronx: One thing that drives me nuts is when people refer to asylum seekers as illegal aliens. I read letters in the paper and posts on social media where people just don’t seem to get the distinction.
