And I'm going out on a limb & probaly sawing it off behind me.
But I saw thru the covid thing half a decade back. Figuring it
out that what it really was, was population control. So I'm not
been vaxed for anything since.  I'm not in good shape thanks to
diabetes, which they could cure in 6 months if the existing profit
measured in multiple trillions per year, was removed. Medicine
will never give up that cash cow. Best evidence is  I'm here, with
a working thinker at 91.  The ultimate revenge, out living one's
enemies.

Long live the coco's and os9, best teachers ever.

And thank you Dennis for paying the bills for this list as long
as you have. A tip of my hat for that. ;o)>
