No reason, just that this makes me cry happy tears. So I'm a wuss.
Georgia outlaws microchip implants: "Just imagine having a beeper in your rectum and your beeper numbers displayed on billboards throughout the city."
Well, that bill passed, the one from Georgia "so as to prohibit requiring a person to be implanted with a microchip," Senate Bill 235 . At least it made its way through the House Judiciary Committee, anyway, next stop the House Rules Committee that decides whether it moves on to the full House vote and (fingers crossed) final passage. I'd think it probably should, taking into account the compelling testimony brought up at this last hearing, from some fat lady about why non-consensual chipping should be made against the law. There she described in detail her own personal experience, with being implanted against her druthers: "I'm also one of the people in Georgia who has a microchip," she began. ("Also one?" There's more of them there?) She went on about the specific disadvantages, how it violates one's "right to work without being tortured by co-workers who are activating these microchips by using their cell phones and other electro
I know what you mean. Soon as I saw the first couple of seconds, I stopped it. I can't even watch it again. Think I've seen it twice. Though it's a "happy ending" it is soooooooo emotional that it hurts...it that makes sense...I think it breaks my heart and I can't get passed thinking about when they had to send him away...poor baby. It is beautiful though...maybe so beautiful it hurts. (?)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this video! It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe happy ending makes the whole thing worth watching, though. Except that I have no Kleenex. Thank God for shirtsleeves.
ReplyDeleteI must have gotten that whole over-emotional thing from you. I've watched this like, three times in row now. It's incredible, and I'm practically bawling. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with inheriting the emotional gene from me, sug. :-) Like father like daughter. Fortunately you seem to have inherited the good stuff, glad so much of the other didn't take.
ReplyDeleteHi Megan! you're dad is cool. This video, people say, oh it's not real---please, research with dolphins, monkeys, apes and lions, all have proven the animals DO remember their human friends. It is we humans who kill for fun. We are more cruely animalist than even snakes. Steve Irwin gave his life to proving that.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Diane, me being the cynic that I am, I did do some checking into this being real before I posted it. And it is real. I found so many pictures of stuff of these guys from back then with the lion in their home, and caught up with recent interviews with the two guys themselves, to know that's it's real. And you're right, there is enough other proof of animals remembering their human family that yeah, this is real. I saw the guys on the Today show talking the experience, it was fascinating. Your point about it's us humans who kill for fun, well said. Probably the cruelest of creatures, I agree. And thanks for calling me cool, by the way. :-)
ReplyDeleteMegan,
ReplyDeleteI should pay more attention. (Last name) Then I saw the "like father like daughter" but since I call Doug my pretend son...it just went over my head.
Hi Megan, real daughter...that would mean I'm your pretend Grandma. :)
My daughter is an awesome woman, I just wanted to mention that. Of course, I'm biased, I know, but true even if she wasn't mine.
ReplyDeleteHi Diane! Yes, you're right, my dad is cool. *cough* I just wish that I saw him more often. *cough* He loves you, by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lumina/Grandma. That "like father like daughter" thing is definitely true between me and my dad. We have a lot in common, and I'm often told by my family when I've just made a "Doug face". Haha, so true. Anyway, thank you for the greeting.
And Dad, thanks for saying I'm awesome. You're awesome. I must have gotten some of that from you too.
Well..."Truth be told..."
ReplyDeleteIt runs in the family, yes...means you both got it from me. *hee hee*
Thanks, Lumina for the awesomeness that is me and Megan. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Yes, from my sad. From Dad's you got the...Well, again, Awesome. :)
