Just because I'm 'silly'.

Posted here so I don't lose these thoughts. I could easily do a personal blog in response to either. I do use my silly power to disarm.

Video of Floyd's murder was appropriate imho; but, mere finger pointing to destroy another's reputation (or false accusations like Giuliani did) is NOT.
