That and the real bastards rise to the top. A teacher asks a student, 'What's capitalism?' The student replies, 'The exploitation of man by man.' "The teacher nods approvingly and then asks, 'What's communism?' 'The opposite,' the student says.
That's Florida though, too many poisonous and sharp toothed animals, hence all the "A Florida man.." stories. I was staying in an international hostel in Kisimmee and some girl told me about "mindfullness meditation". Well I was pondering the notion of purposely bringing one's attention to experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment and completely missed the baby/tween alligator sunning itself across the open back door. I tripped over him and my face hit the ground inches from a large colony of fire ants. Mindfulness is dangerous in Florida.
‘Gators generally avoid people. There was the hissing ‘gator mother in the culvert incident, however. So we gave her a wide berth. Yeah, fire ants can make for an exciting moment or two when an unweary friend stands in the wrong place. Sepsis had a pretty high rank of death among the elderly in Florida, presumably because of poorly treated wounds. People remember the robustness of their youth when they get older. But their immune systems weaken and that untreated treated little cut gets ignored and sometimes the fever in two days after infection does as well. On the third day and a visit to the hospital, it is often too late for the patient. I am not even talking about MSRA. When I lived in Florida, I remember reading a hospital cause of death report. The list of sepsis deaths went on and on. Don’t recall refrigerated trucks waiting ouside the hospital, though.
It was the black rubber door mat, the owner said he was going to change it as that was not the first time this or another young gator was sunning on it. It may be the heat slowing brains down, particularly elderly that has resulted in Florida being "the stupid state" but look at the lower right aeroplane action at this UCF rally.
