Meanwhile back at the ranch….

We’re forever reading about “advances” in cancer drugs, and Big Pharma grows fat on the profits, yet cancer mortality rates have changed little over time.

Interesting. Especially the "pound of flesh" by which I think was originally intended to mean a specific male body part.

With adoption, some parents lose 6-9 pounds of flesh - that is, their own child. Those who lose are the mothers who have been forced into an adoption or abortion "choice" (no real options) and even facing this horrendous "Sophie's choice" bravely continue their pregancy. The adopted person, the father, grandparents and siblings lose out as well. The mothers are terrorized (shamed) to force them to surrender (especially if their infant son or daughter is healthy and "adoptable"). Many are led to believe they have "chosen" adoption before their baby is born - before they have any idea what it is they are giving up.

What a sick society we live in, where families who have never been proven to be "unfit" in any way are separated and babies used to supply the market.

Barnaby is a phantom, a man who never was what he thought and said he was after the finger was placed on his chest he caved in .
He from time to time may grandstand but he is only a shadow of the person he claimed to be.
