It is not the biggest home office I ever had, but it is the most comfortable. While I miss socializing, I also appreciate how truly lucky I am. I'm not saying I don't have challenges, but relatively speaking... I called a longtime buddy of mine yesterday, a physician, he is in the hospital, on oxygen, as a result of Covid19. He told me he had gotten so sick that he wished he had died. Fortunately, he will recover. My friend is wealthy. I think about all the poor people, in his situation, that have died painful deaths, alone, and scared. Will this prompt Americans to fight stop a system that increase wealthy inequality and has millions without health insurance? ----- This is the kind of thing would have shared on social media were I still using it for personal reasons. I never really considered it, but these forums is my "social media." I haven't written a Blog post since August of 2019. Pretty much anything I have to say, I say it here. Stay healthy fam.

@Delano I need to read over some references before I can answer this completely because the ancient methods, written down, is like a Byzantine plot. But, I would suppose it would be a good example to mention how certain Native American Indians were attached, massacred and some were completely uprooted in one area and relocated. My husbands grandmother said that she remembers The Trail of Tears as she was a little girl and a part of that movement to uproot certain 'Indians' from one area to put them on reservations. My father-in-law [her son] told my husband, the White man was mocking them severely when they 'so-called'--said to the Indians in North Carolina that they had a designated Reservation for them to relocate. My father-in-law said the White wanted to completely wipe them out and did so in many methods such as listing them as being 'Colored' instead of what they said when they were made to respond to the census. He said that they told the Souix to leave their lands and go to the designation Reservation, but my father-in-law said THERE WAS NO RESERVATION FOR THE SOUIX!!! They lied. He said they made reservations for the Cherokee but not for the Sioux, no where in the eastern parts of North Carolina. They just wanted them to go and if they didn't, they were hunted down. So many of them went west to the Cherokee Reservation of which of course, caused conflicts because the Cherokee and the Sioux are two different people! Also the Racial Integrity Act [RIA] was another movement--law made agains the Native Americans with the purpose to completely erase them from the census due to the World War. The government did not want any Native Americans. Period!!! So, they had to either [1] stay on the impoverished Reservations, [2] marry White women of which the Government records shows 90% of the Native did and were able to leave the reservations and live, or [3] be listed as 'Colored' or 'Negro' in the military and become segregated with the Negroes. The government says that there were a small but significant few HOSTILES that refused to be listed as Whites, refused to leave their homelands, and refused to join the war, so they either melted into the North Carolina woods or the Piedmont area and they married Negro women. That is what my father-in-law did; he married a Black woman and he melted into the woods, and set traps to feed his mother and family. He said that his family became divided and some 'passed for White' and went that direction. And some tribes did join the military as I said and was listed as Colored or Negro. That maybe one example of how White Movements occur against certain people. The Indians in Arizona were viciously attacted too, and some of the remnant that this government tried to get out of their lands was shipped all the way to the east in America! Some of the victims of war, old chiefs, that survived were sent to Atlanta Georgia and Florida, etc. Another example would be what happened in East Europe and the fall out of the Byzantine system. That kind of 'republication' of people was crazy.
