Well I also have lost any respect for your "intelligence" as you cant(sic) seem to and obviously dont (sic) want to pay attention to simple punctuation rules!
How then can you in particular criticize obviously more intelligent people i.e. Dr. Carson when you are too damn lazy to add an apostrophe?
Thats ok. I dont mind if you lost respect. Its not like you are someone important to me. I dont know that Dr. Carson is more intelligent than me. All I know is that he went into a different field than I did. I dont like wasting time with appostrophes unless they are necessary like for example were vs. we're. I dont hold the english language in a high enough regard to care to be honest.
Yikes @Ascepias
RE: "Its not like you are someone important to me."
The idea that lives matter starts with treating ALL persons with equal dignity and respect,
regardless if their ideas or statements need massive reforms. The people are still deserving
of equal protection of the laws, or else how do you expect to enforce this for Black Lives treated as "not important."
Enforcing laws consistently is what is going to stop this discrimination game.
No matter how much we disagree or cannot understand or stand each other,
the respect for rights, freedoms, expression, due process and ability to redress grievances
must be upheld for ALL people if we want to claim equal rights and protections for our interests.
The natural law of reciprocity, the Golden Rule that applies to everyone from
Hitler to the Dalai Lama, from the worshipped saints to the despised lepers, serial criminals and terrorists,
is that we treat each other as we agree to be treated.
If you do NOT like being treated as if you aren't important enough to hear out,
or Black lives don't matter and aren't important,
it is wiser and more effective to treat each person as someone with an important point and purpose
they are trying to get across. And the process is to find it.
I treat people with respect as long as they treat me with respect. Thats my golden rule. I dont expect to enforce Black lives matter by talking about it or protesting. I expect to enforce it by bringing a severe penalty to those that wish to prove Black lives dont matter. I simply dont have the patience for idiocy and that is colorblind.
Be VERY Careful

the road to Restorative Justice is to lift your neighbor up to your standard so they do the same for you
when you appear to fall short. Not to judge and dismiss each other in advance due to errors or differences.
healthmyths and I totally missed each other's points and intentions; if we ended it right there,
we'd lose the relationship and opportunity to develop and support key points of agreement, when I suspect we are actually on the same page, both against division and trying to stop the victimhood blamed by either rich on poor, or poor on the rich
for causing or perpetuating it.
the road to retribution, and issuing judgment punishment and rejection
is what is causing all this misery, violence and class division and abuse going on.
You are a higher minded person capable of taking the higher road.
Can you trust that whatever problems or conflicts are going on,
taking the higher road will inspire and uplift others to do the same.
Can we aspire for greater and not be content to cut things short for expedience.
From
healthmyths previous msgs, we agree to challenge the ACA and other
problematic agenda rubber stamped by the Democrats and Obama's following.
What about serious ideas for reforming and replacing problematic programs?
Improving them where there is no more disagreement or conflict?
Do you have faith that by working with diverse, even opposed approaches,
we can address issues in full, solve them, and come out with even better solutions
by troubleshooting and correcting all reasons for objections?
We may not respect each other equally yet, but could we work out
a solution we all respect, and then see if our mutual perceptions change in the process?
