Damn straight I do! Bunch of silly worked-up gooses pouncing on well meaning literary critics like us as though we peed in their cheerios; I am sure the thank you cards that JK Rowling sent them more than assuaged their pent up emotions back then.

...


Wait! What? Not even a thank you card from her? That nasty, greedy, plagiarizing little 🤬

Angie - Looks like I gave you wrong information. In certain states in US, it is legal to shoot cops in self-defense, if they violate your rights.

But when it comes to SWAT teams raiding a person's home for drugs, it looks like the law is on the side of the SWAT teams.

Ah... this is so much better K : ) The right to self- defense sounds fair . The way I see it, the cops in US have a greater probability of dealing with armed suspects. The liberal gun laws in the US only add to the cops anxiety and in this unfortunate case , a gun carried for self defense by the apprehended suspect ended in making a cop jittery enough to pump multiple bullets into the unsuspecting victim. All it took was a broken tail light for the tragedy waiting to unfold. Strange how no noise being made about the right to possess guns!

The "i" in the image is a reminder to myself to again start contemplating about the "difference", if any, between i and I. I saw Kung Fu Panda 3 yesterday and there was a lot of talk about "Who am I", "Universe" and Qi (Ch'i) which got me thinking again

Different as in difference between a problem and its solution. Chi is fascinating. Could well be the vital link between i, I and the Universe. Would like to know what you turned up with there. I thought I had sensed some skepticism regarding Chi. Wow, if it took a Kung Fu Panda to elicit a re-think !!! So why grudge the Potter maniacs their Potterionics 😆

You never know what lessons one may draw from its diverse characters.
