Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶195 (1665-1678) [pub. Donaldson (1783), ¶442]

...but still challenged by #distraction, & that probably is the cause of his death. An unwillingness to #accept limitation and making modifications to the body that were perhaps disastrous.

Simple arguments to explain why starting another war, this time against Cuba, is nothing but a distraction and has nothing to do with protecting the USA:

- I don't think Cuba is a threat to the US.

- It's not even the same Castro.

- That guy isn't even president anymore.

- Indicting a person for defending his own country 30 years ago?

- This Castro is now 94 years old. How does this help America?

- How much more debt can we handle?

IT CAN WAIT!

Fines for distracted driving — a petty misdemeanor — start at $100 for the first offense and can rise to more than $125 with court fees tacked on. Subsequent violations start at $300, according to DPS.

“If you injure or kill someone while violating the hand-free law, it is considered reckless and careless driving,” the DPS website says. It can also carry a felony charge of criminal vehicular operation or homicide.
