Same to you! I am sure your resilience in the clutches of your circumstances fully rises to your exigency. I hope the blessings of your young family yet bring you the greatest joy in any circumstances.

I do agree, but note that matter, the swirling particles thereof, are merely energy in such highly ordered relationships, as E=MC^2 reveals. As I understand it then, the only reason information isn't matter

I very much appreciate you providing clarity I lacked. Sometimes I am a bit slow and depend on the kindness and patience of good people to take the time to help me understand.

"Unarmed civilians, even by hundreds of thousands can compete with an armed minority, impunity and the silence of the international community" Do you mean cannot compete, rather than can?

I think you are making a lot of false assumptions about a lot of things. That is my opinion and we may have to agree to disagree It is certainly possible. But if you can convince me of it, I will be happy

I am not saying I would take any of the actions he has, only that his personal account, he says, will not receive the rewards he upvotes on the communities' posts he authors. If there is such a community

Same with Hive creators, eh? It's quite the coinkydink that seems to be so common. Thanks!

That's so true I lol'ed. Thanks!

The media reported here that Maduro claimed to have armed the civilian populace because of the threat of war. Clearly that isn't true. Thanks again for enabling me to grasp the reality of the circumstances
