When was the last time you saw an actual, bonafide, in working order...pay phone? Living in the Houston - Galveston metroplex area for the major part of my life, I simply do not remember the last time I spied a pay phone. I do remember the lines were cut and the money box broken.

Does the Universe Have a Purpose?
Does the Universe Have a Purpose? feat. Neil deGrasse Tyson - YouTube
Everyday I come across this question as it might relate to social distortions. After listening to this video I have to wonder even more. Taking the question another step, does man have any purpose? I have to believe that he does, but that purpose, whatever it may be, is not necessarily written in stone. I believe it is still an untold story. I also believe that no matter what happens, whatever happens first is always a prelude to the next happening. As long as there is one...then there is another.

Walmart Workers Killed a Man on Sunday
Walmart Workers Killed a Man on Sunday - Yahoo! News
The question has always been, "To be...or not to be." Whether it is nobler to be right in the face of the law or whether it is nobler of the heart to allow an atrocity if it will save another man's life. Yes, that is the question.
A Walmart employee, after chasing down a shoplifter that had walked out the door with two DVD players, held the local thief in a choke hold till police arrived. The police then determined the perpetrator was dead at the scene.
Is this what society now deems to be the norm? A man steals, why, because he cannot afford or just wants. A man reacts per his job responsibilities but holds little regard for his victim because it is a question of right and wrong...and he is in the right.

A
man killed by Walmart workers in the performance of their duties. They
should be proud of themselves...Lord knows I am not. Maybe I will not
think of Walmart the same way. In my mind they already have a tainted
image from other actions and policies...killing a man does not help my
opinion.

My Bestest boy Chico
Today is the birthday of my best friend Chico. Chico was my dog, my pet, my friend and confidant, my inspiration, my escape from insanity, and most of all he was my bestest little boy.
Now you might not think that this has anything to do with social distortions, but I believe otherwise. The distortion lies in how we perceive the animal kingdom. We seem to accept the fact that they are mentally inferior to humans. We believe that they have no true means of understanding and communication. But, maybe we were wrong all this time. Maybe, it is us humans that are unable to rise to the occasion. We seem unable to understand and animals actions and communication process.
When God gave us dominion over the animal kingdom, perhaps, it was only meant that we should lead them in this world If we can only line to use and abuse animals then how can we ever learn to rise to the challenge of meeting new species and civilizations in the universe? No, I believe we are down to a limited existence if we cannot humble ourselves to understand all creatures around us.
Below is a video of my little boy. I hope you can understand how I feel. This dog, animal and pet taught me so much about life.

Seeriosly? Preparing for zombies could actually help us to be ready for a "real" apocalyptic disaster. This is a couple of months old but I think we should all check this out.

Mom admits she superglued child's hands
Mom admits she superglued child's hands
What can make a person act this way? To be this disturbed is beyond the social norm. We can condemn her but we must also pray for the healing of all involved. Although I abhor what was done, I must realize that there is something terribly wrong with this woman to do such things. Her actions were not rational in my lay opinion.

Malala Yousafzai, Teenage School Activist, Survives Taliban Attack - NYTimes.com
Malala Yousafzai, Teenage School Activist, Survives Taliban Attack - NYTimes.com
This is what the Taliban want us to believe is better? These people kill their own children just so they can be kept in the dark ages. I have been watching for a long time now, and still, still I see no worthwhile or redeeming quality in the Taliban. If I could utter the sheer disgust that my heart and mind holds for them, I would. There is simply no socially redeeming quality in the Taliban. To shoot a child, Malala Yousafzai, an innocent is beyond the realm of social perversion. These so called Taliban have no true agenda aimed at helping their people. They are simply vermin! My heart goes out to the people who suffer as the result of the Taliban and other such groups who care nothing for humanity or human decency.
