Ray's Thought for the Day - Rainfall Update for Day 26, DY 2
We finally got some more drizzle. So the total over 26 days into DY 2 is 0.14". I used more than that, cleaning up my hamburguese. Hark! Better stock up on bottled water. This situation is fixing to get bad, then worse.
Yep. Everyone needs to stock up on water. Yep. Get yourself a big water container. Like maybe a water truck. Then head on down to the lake. There is free water in the lake. So go down to the lake and take advantage of all that free water while there is still time.
Meanwhile, I finally located the full text of the Kinglet's Abu Dhabi speech. Hunting useless information down is what I do when I am sick and can not do much else. Anyway. That is what I have been doing while I was home sick. Here's what I did, once I found the Kinglet's speech in Abu Dhabi.
_____
I found it. The full text of the Kinglet’s speech, in Abu Dhabi, the place not the language. I am fixing to read it.
There now. I have read the full text. Now I am fixing to look up information on the different parts I need some clarification on. First, I shall number the paragraphs though. . Mercy! There are 46 total paragraphs!
Paragraph 4: A great new era is unfolding before us. This new era is founded on the equality of all people before God. OK. Maybe I can’t actually look this one up. It is a faith thing. All the people are equal before God. Right. God must be the same as the Demon Mammon. Got it.
Paragraph 5: Beginning with the revered father of this country - Sheikh Zayed - you have succeeded in building a prosperous country out of the desert. Whoa! Who the heck is Sheik Zayed? Here we go. SheikZayed.com. Whoa! Sheik Zayed has only been dead since 2004. Yet he is already the father of a prosperous society that has skyscapered out of the desert lickety split, aided only by 10% of the globe's oil reserves and plenty of cheap foreign labor. Oops, skipping ahead, I mean, cheap foreign human capital.
Paragraph 8: In a free and just society, every person is treated with dignity. In a free and just society, leaders are accountable to those they govern. And in a free and just society, individuals can rise as far as their talents and hard work will take them. Whoa! I need to look this up. Where the heck is this place? We need to move the Cow Barn to this place. Where the heck is it?
Dang it! I think the Kinglet must have made that place up. That place must exist between his ears. No. Hold it. I found it! That place is, The Big Rock Candy Mountain!!!!
Ohhh, in the Big Rock Candy Mountain, pigs eat candy corn, the goat cheese is delicious, and no one is forlorn. The pigs are not unclean, cause the pigs eat candy corn, and no one eats the pigs, yet no one is forlorn. And the leaders all agree, that work is a waste of time, so everyone that’s on the clock, get’s off at half past nine.
Ohhhhh, in the Big Rock Candy Mountain, there’s liberty for me, there’s justice too, and freedom, cause everyone is free. Plus, everyone is free, and all the stuff is free. There’s candy corn for all the pigs and some for you and me.
Whoa! I have gotten carried away here. Back to work.
Paragraphs 20 -21: Free and just societies also create opportunities for their citizens. This opportunity begins with economic growth. In any society, the greatest resource is not the oil in the ground or the minerals beneath the soil.
It is the skills and talents of the people. Or as one Nobel winning economist calls this human capital. Er. OK. This is the part that interests me. Dang it! There ought to be a comma after this. But never mind that. Who is this Nobel winning economist? Got to look that economist up. Here he is. G.S. Becker. Yikes! He is also a sociologist. Oh my Goddess! Here comes all this human capital out of Mexico. We need to invest in this human capital so all those Mexicans can realize their full potential, only limited by talent and hard work. Oh my Goddess! How about fixing those Bangladeshis up the same way in Abu Dhabi. Let’s see. What is the best way to employ all this human capital. Uh, I know, they can be, cheap labor.
Paragraph 36: The United States has no desire for territory. Huh, huh, huh.
Paragraph 46: God bless. See above.
____
So those are all the parts of the Kinglet's speech in Abu Dhabi that caught enough of my attention to look up. Actually, Sheik Zayed was not all bad. But big wow, hardly anybody is all bad.
Yep. Everyone needs to stock up on water. Yep. Get yourself a big water container. Like maybe a water truck. Then head on down to the lake. There is free water in the lake. So go down to the lake and take advantage of all that free water while there is still time.
