You’ll be relieved to know that I will no longer be harrassing you about morality. I may harrass you, but not about that.
If you have hung in here this long, you will have already conquered the Big Three: not sinning, what to do with found money, and murder.
There is another consideration, though: what to do if there is no morality?
Priests will tell you this is bad business, and I assume prelates and confessors will as well. I’m not sure what rabbis do on their off-hours, but I highly suspect it is not wishing for all morality to come to an end. Imams? Meh. They’ve shown their stripes.
So what would happen if there is an end to morality?
We need look no further than Chicago, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New York, New Jersey, and that place in Mad Max. You know, that guy from down Under. Great job, pal!
You must be able to defend yourself. What’s-His-Name in Mad Max could — in the movie — but can’t today, because they voluntarily surrendered their guns to the government.
Do not voluntarily surrender your guns to the government.
Have you ever seen a school board meeting, or a Homeowners’ Association, or contact tracers? Imagine them with guns, and you without.
I know the title of this was “The End of Morality,” but you see I am subtly advocating for more. It is a means to a useful end. As I said only two paragraphs ago, “You must be able to defend yourself.” That is moral. Let’s say a weirdo is approaching with murder in his eyes. Do you want to stop him, or contemplate government programs that may or may not help him? Since you are alive, I assume the former would be your answer.
To conclude: if your government shows no morality, you must.

“So what would happen if there is an end to morality?”
The book of Judges in the Old Testament tell of a time when “…every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Whether or not you consider it the word of God, it tells some pretty awful things that people did to each other, while considering it right in their own eyes.
Thank you all for coming this evening. I know this is not the normal venue for a stand-up routine, but I have been unable to get any bookings at real comedy clubs because of the Wuhan Flu lockdowns
….and the fact that nobody finds me funny…
I had a hard time getting to the theater tonight…. umm, I’m not sure that one is really going to work in this venue…
So, Ant Man walks into a psychiatrist’s office. The receptionist asked, “Are you sure you need a shrink?”
So, where is everybody from?
Boise? Did you say Boise?….
…I don’t have any jokes about Boise. Is there anybody here from Effingham?
Appropos of nothing, and definitely not in anticipation of how the Moon Nukers will react to this post, is there any type of award (or punishment) for a comment receiving an egregious amount of tofu?
You get to eat every single bite. Good luck!
Good question. I personally have been thinking about the subject so your answer is no.
A song parody:
♩♩
[Nena]
99 Red Ballots
Democrats with PhotoShop
Buy a bag of ballots
With the money they’ve got
Made them blue at the break of dawn
‘Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message
“Something’s wrong there”
Floating in November’s sky
99 red ballots go bye-bye.
99-to-1 ballots
Still coming in, poll-workers freak
Panic bells, a water leak
There’s some votes here
From somewhere else
The voting machines spring to life
Opening their laser eyes
Scanning, scamming for their guys
When 99 out of 100 ballots go by.
99 Dominion Street
99 high priests meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The presidency’s on the line
99 red ballots go bye-bye.
[Instrumental Midnight Interlude]
99 nights on the air
Anchormen with super-high-tech hair
Everyone is super sure
Every Fake Superior jerk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scandal talk to vilify
As 99 red ballots are dyed
99 red ballots go bye
2020 dreams I had
In every one a counted ballot
It’s all over, I’ve no standing now
And no trust — all lost somehow
If I could fine their financier
Just to prove the proof was here
And here is one more red ballot
In the shredder — let ‘er go

So just saw this. I wonder if it means that someone who’s had covid twice already suffers from heart disease and diabetes should not get the “experimental shot”. But the FDA is going to weigh the results of the study to decide WHO should get the shot. I tell you what, every bloody person in the CDC, FDA, White House, Congress, their staff, their families and their fluffy white kittens can get the shot. Come at me with one of those needles and someone is going to get stuck and it ain’t me brother.
And now, a musical interlude………………… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dThiYFgI_g

I took the plunge and clicked on the link, sight unseen.
“Covid Mask” — Perfect parody of “Moster Mash,” which usuallly gets stuck in my brain for the whole month after Halloween, not the one before.
100-percent-quality voice impersonation and background vocals.
Lyrics or rhyme in verse 3 stumbled, but I loved the song.
