What with the regular tropical vacations, steam baths and hot rock massages.

Back to the drawing board.

adjust the size of the rocks. I'm thinking a 110 degree F, 435 lbs rock massage.

emerging European honeybee. The hornets got reinforcements by spraying pheromones on the outside of the hive after the kills. The bee bodies stacked up in the world of the battleground outside their hive.

The African honeybees stayed inside their hive to protect their developing offspring and air dried the single hornets pheromone spray so that no reinforcement hornets could find the protected hive. And then the bees continued using vibration and friction to over heat the air breathed by extremely large heat holding body of the hornet to kill it. The bees could dance away to cool down while other bee reinforcements fanned the flames.

The European honeybees reached out singly, over extended themselves, and were not only defeated but destroyed and thrown away from the hive they deserted (Democrats of the past changing to the Republican way).

The single scout hornet went inside the African hive without reinforcement capabilities. The African honeybees used the same pheromone behavior as the hornet but used temperature senses to radicalize their base.

I think that the Left needs to radicalize their base with the temper of VOICE and MARCH.

Turn up the heat on the bastards. Long before it's too hot for working people, the rich will think they're in hell for real. Then we'll see what kind of a deal they're ready to cut.

But had my own troubles this week.

Regardless, I always wonder if they learned nothing from October 1917 revolt. Sometimes I ask, "Can you say 'Romanoff'?"

If the wealthy really want to hold on to their fortunes, they had better start sharing a little of their wealth before it's too late. Americans are not serfs who will suffer all manner of privations for generations and generations to come. When enough of us decide the system no longer works for us but is instead rigged against us, there will be an explosion. We'll make the French and Russian revolutions look like schoolyard dust-ups. I would not want to be a rich man then.
