It ticks me off that some people think freedom of speech allows you to say what you want without penalty. You can be fired from your job, suspended from school, grounded by your parents, slapped by your girlfriend, etc. Choose your freedom of speech words wisely.
I’m ticked off that the writer who thinks free speech applies at his workplace, doesn’t tell his employer to go fly a kite, and find out how long his free speech lasts. He can freely say whatever he wants but he won’t have a job. Go for it big guy.
Regarding the inane local injury attorney TV ads with clients claiming to be in a really terrible bad accident. Would that be contrary to the variety of wonderful and good accidents that occur?
Attention, MSNBC: Please ask frequent guest commentator Tim Miller from The Bulwark to quit showing his home’s framed 100-lb. bag of pinto beans every time he’s on camera.
No wonder so many young American men and boys feel lost. Every network TV commercial and sitcom depicts them either as macho dolts always rescued by their women, or as feckless, fey, sissy boy invertebrates.
The dumbest part of the TV ads for new meds is, “Don’t take if you are allergic to it.” How will I know if I am allergic to the medicine before I take it?!
The flip side
I’m thankful for Juley at the CiCi’s in Sanford who found my purse! I thought it was lost forever after a week but she was able to track me down by my socials and contact me! Her kindness and determination to get it back to me really touched me.
While CVS may not be giving COVID vaccines, Minute Clinics, located inside CVS are administering the vaccine. My wife and I received ours this morning, paid by Medicare. Make an appointment online at Minute Clinics, not CVS, in and out in 5 minutes. Thank you, Minute Clinics.
