good news

 Heard some encouraging news yesterday. Scientists discovered the human brain making new brain cells at age 72 ! That's right, before this it was believed that you didn't make any new ones after age thirteen. But scientist studied the brains of the deceased and saw new ones forming in us old folks too. I found that encouraging as there appears there is hope for humanity after all. Maybe some of these teenagers will get a few more brain cells and figure out common sense after all. I know it's a stretch but it could happen with the politicians as well.  Well, not Pelosi or Warren, there aren't that many brain cells there to begin with, but there is hope.
 In the article I read they only studied the hippocampus because that is where new neurons are known to exist. It is also the part of the brain associated with emotional control, resiliency and memory. Funny name hippocampus, a hippo on campus ? I'm no brain scientist but I think they picked the right section to study. It is associated with emotional control and there are a lot of folks that are emotionally unstable these days ! Think the entire liberal party in America, emotional wrecks ! They certainly can't seem to get their emotions under control. Hillary lost, Hillary lost. Where's my safe space ! We'll never recover from this devastating defeat. We're doomed and Trump will kill us all. Not what I would call a resilient attitude on their part.  And as to memory memory functions. These liberals sure have a different way of remembering history than what actually took place. Some parts of history they just ignore altogether and other parts they make up as they go along. Somehow whatever part of the brain has to do with fantasy and mind reading has gotten confused with the hippocampus section ! These liberal folks sure know exactly what the founding fathers had in mind when they wrote the constitution. At least one liberal judge believes the constitution talks about military arms ! Yes, he thinks the 2nd amendment only guaranteed the right to own civilian guns , not military guns. Well, because in 1791 they knew all about that stuff, you know M-16's, browning automatics, rocket launchers and such. The guns the military had in 1791 were so vastly different and superior than the civilian versions they had to include that amendment. They didn't make it illegal to own a canon though. Fact is, if you have a muzzle loading canon built prior to 1898 it is still legal to own ! Guess that military weapon is alright, wonder why there isn't an amendment about that.
 Well, besides all this it is encouraging to know we can get more brain cells as we age. I admit to having killed a number of them in my younger days. I was always told that alcohol killed brain cells. That turned out not to be true. It just disrupts the thinking process but I kinda figured that out by myself. Smoking pot or cigarettes for that matter can damage the brain from lack of oxygen but doesn't kill brain cells either. All that is good to know as well. But I do think there is something going on with this hippocampus in a portion of the population. Could liberalism be a genetic thing ? Has there DNA somehow been altered by hand sanitizer ?
