Anyone else hear that Pete Jr is no longer on the coaching staff. His FB says former coach at Montebello high school.
@ John Dewey: I am honored to be in the presence of a great educator and philosopher who has challenged me to be more intellectually rigorous.
You correctly surmised that I have a philosophy, which happens to be a mix of secular humanism and a set of religious beliefs which began with my long-ago membership in an evangelical Protestant congregation.
Perhaps, out of my desire to acknowledge the validity of other religions and philosophies, I was not sufficiently clear about the foundations of my own beliefs. I have an appreciation for any belief system that promotes values such as honesty, integrity, tolerance, empathy, and compassion. Values such as these do make people better and, very importantly, are helpful to others.
I guess my philosophy can be called humane pragmatism.
Now, as for Hitler, his core principles appeared to be: 1) He was Germany; 2) Germanic people whom he called Aryans were racially superior to all other types of people; and 3) Jews and other “inferior” people had to be destroyed.
I and most other people don’t subscribe to any of that madness.
John Dewey helped build public education as we know it in the United States, and he was a leading philosopher from around the 1890’s until the middle of the 20th century. Dewey is credited with being the primary founder of the modern school of thought known as pragmatism; he also continually advocated for democracy and social justice.
Dewey had his critics, but many of them were people of wealth or supporters of authoritarianism. He is certainly someone we can try to emulate.
When Ron Vrooman says he’s not partial to any religion or philosophy, favoring ideas that make someone “a better person”, he ignores the fact that you cannot define what goes into making somebody a “better person” without philosophical standards. Hitler probably felt he was a “better person” on his own terms, as do our current-day rioters and their enablers. So yeah, Vrooman has a definite philosophy, which is pragmatism. Pragmatism is the only ideology to take-hold in the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is a system of thought that basically says you make things up as you go along, hence Ron’s denial of any systematic thought process.
@ SoCal Free Soul: I hope that all of the motorcycle enthusiasts remain free from illness upon their return from the festival in South Dakota. There’s a lot riding on this.
@ Bottom Line: The United States now has 5,011,648 confirmed cases of the coronavirus, and, after almost a thousand more people died today, the death toll has reached 162,688. Our death rate is currently 3.25 per cent of confirmed cases.
One of the sad truths we face is that a large number of these deaths were preventable.
Me and Mama on the Harley on the way to Sturgis to party with free people. Did not even pack masks,thermometers etc. Be back in La Verne in 14 days. No fake news in Sturgis. Could be as big as Woodstock this year.
@ Question Mark: We’re often on the same page philosophically, and I’d never question your sincerity about anything. However, I believe you misunderstood what I meant.
I also object to the “thoughts and prayers” line, for instance, when it has been used by certain politicians after countless mass shootings in this country. I have a problem with people in positions of power who try to console the victims or their survivors in this way when they take no action to prevent similar carnage from happening in the future.
I, too, have no use for empty words.
But, if there was ever a time for prayers or positive thoughts, it is right now. I’m not especially partial to any religion or philosophy; all I care about when it comes to a belief system is whether it makes someone a better person. I use mine to guide my actions in a positive way.
I know I’m part of the solution because I will wear a face mask in public, practice social distancing, and avoid large gatherings until the coronavirus pandemic is brought under control.
President Trump has been schizophrenic at best in his approach to the pandemic, and, for the most part, he’s been missing in action as the situation has worsened. I still have faith in God or divine providence, but we all have to do our part.
As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves. Use good judgment and stay healthy.
Yea because when he loses they talk about the 98.5% survival rate and less on the death from the China-Virus.
Who is complacent about heart disease and cancer? Only idiots. Millions of people have stopped smoking and started using sun screen because of scientific data. The ones that don’t are often on TV showing the ravages of throat,skin and lung cancer because of their smoking and excess tanning. Check out the Ice Man and Doc Holliday these days. Does calm down mean go ahead and smoke and turn your skin bright red in August and don’t wear a mask during a pandemic? You are the reason I wear a mask and cancer is why I don’t smoke, and why I use sun screen and why I exercise and eat right. You can justify and cook the books all you want but Covid does not care. If you suck it in you or some poor soul you know might have a huge change of life coming.
cool looking schedule!
Since cancer and heart disease cause far more deaths than COVID, and people who die from those two big killers also suffer greatly on their way out, why are THOSE deaths being discounted as normal and acceptable? Looking ahead, if the virus proves impossible to conquer, and we have to expect, say, a 4% yearly death toll, will the passage of time make everyone calm down and be complacent about COVID the way they are about cancer and heart disease?
Thoughts and prayers Ron? Trump and God both seem to be sitting this one out. Christian countries seem to be impacted more than godless states. Prayers are not making any of those suffering any happier.Those religious people that make it through describe their horrors in detail if you dare to read their stories which I do but don’t recommend. To top it off many are catching it at church services of some kind. I do feel those survivors have PTSD because even though they should have anti-bodies they live in abject terror of getting it again and wear masks and stay home 24/7. I get it. I wear a mask and visor for ME first and then for you. Indoor school and football can wait a year. My children are tough and we will figure this out safely as a family. Like it or not masks work, distance works and hand washing works.
@ MVS fan: Oh, just like that, the coronavirus will magically disappear? All it will take is for President Trump to lose the November election?
Our reality is not that simplistic, my friend. By the way, if Trump is to be believed about anything, he has no intention of losing the election even if he loses. We’re going to be in for a lot of drama.
@ SGV & Top Line: Excellent job explaining our public health crisis in real terms that people should have no trouble understanding.
One of the most tragic things about this pandemic is that many of those who have died from the coronavirus have passed away without any family members or friends there to console them.
The disease is also taking a toll on our health care professionals. Hundreds of doctors and nurses have already died, and only God knows how many of the ones who survive will develop some form of PTSD. They’ve had to witness unusual amounts of suffering and death on a daily basis. We should be praying or thinking positive thoughts for them every day.
Seniors just want 1 last ride.
Most AD”s especially those over 50 are preparing for football in the fall of 2021. Just the idea of getting sick by opening to early and drowning to death in a slow dive over several weeks all alone can freak out the most wildest of coaches. Another freaky thought, many that have been on ventilators have said though supposedly deeply sedated many have had to endure constant horrible hallucinations and conscious nightmares. Care to take a chance coach?
IF Trump loses in November the numbers will go down by December/January if he wins they’ll stay the same. Not because anything he did but what they want you to see.
Should care I don’t want my team going 1-9 if we’re going 1-9 might as well have not even played
@Bottom Line
The issue is about hospitals not getting overwhelmed because how fast it can spread. That keeps the death rate low. Unfortunately in California now a lot of hospitals are coming to that point where the COVID units are full and they are making makeshift ones to try and take in the new patients. The good thing is hospitals are shut off to all visitors so when a loved one dies you dont have to see any of the suffering you just get a call from a staff member.
Win or lose, I don’t care if my team goes 1-9 or 9-1 let’s just play ball!
Montebello’s schedule, as well as everybody’s schedule, will proceed as projected. After the election we’ll start hearing that only 2 out of 10,000 are dying from COVID, with the implication being that those masks have slayed the dragon. Very few of us will stop to do the simple math which shows that only 2 out of 10,000 are dying right now, in our supposed hour of greatest danger. With the politicians done playing their games, we can have OUR games back.
