FREE Twin Falls Teeter Totter; Tetanus Shot Not Included
You ve got to love the free / Twin Falls section of Craigslist. You never know what you ll find. This week s item doesn t list a specific city, but it is on the Twin Falls page.
This week s Craigslist post from the Twin Falls / free section is an eye catcher for sure. When I first laid eyes on it, it looked like a movie prop from one of the Final Destination films. I thought, my God, I hope this kid survived the fall.
Would I put my son on this contraption that was posted to Craigslist on June 8, 2021? Probably not, but that doesn t mean your little ones can t enjoy many years of teeting and totting on it. The owner is willing to cut a hell of a deal too. As long as it doesn t get scrapped, it s free to you. (I m not sure if he ll need that in writing or not)

A Short History of Morality Past generations could no more live up to present moral standards than we could live up to those of the distant future.
The Social Order
Over the past year, a spirit of iconoclasm has swept across the United States. Dozens of statues have been removed or toppled by people outraged by the supposed moral failures of the men depicted in stone and bronze. Christopher Columbus was guilty of genocide, they claim. George Washington owned slaves. Leaving aside the moral smugness of the topplers, do they have a case?
The answer: no. The argument that men such as Columbus and Washington are guilty of moral turpitude, and thus unworthy of our respect and admiration, is inescapably based on the idea that twenty-first-century concepts of right and wrong have been in place since the dawn of humankind and won’t change in the future.
During my pandemic-era trips to the grocery store, I’ve noticed that one of the aisles I have frequented far more often than I used to is the snack aisle.
