DAVID'S PLACE:

  The police outside Uvalde Elementary school who did not storm the door were stopped by their own FEAR. Period. We all know the feeling of overwhelming terror when confronted with the need to act in a physically threatening situation. Running into gunfire, whether you are alone or in a group, is action almost no individual will perform. It is human nature to be too terrified to do so no matter what the rules of your employment are. However, one or more of the police standing outside that schoolroom for over an hour and not trying to go through the door is almost incomprehensible. Out of 19 officers on the scene it seems at least one or more would have found the indefinable courage to charge the entrance. If one or a few brave officers found the will to break down the door many lives probably could have been saved. Rule 1 of becoming a police officer is be immediately willing to risk your life or to find another career if you are not ready. That sounds good but is unworkable in...

 Fear . That stopped the police from rescuing the kids.

Would whoever responded to my Walgreens post give me feedback? Please?  I have not made a dime on this blog site in months and today I posted a criticism of Walgreens and got several responses The responses came from a link and headline I posted on my Facebook page..   IF you could tell please me what search you found my comment on, where you saw it,  and  anything else that will enable me to get some traffic for this blog which has not done squat in many months, I will greatly appreciate it.  I am old and computer illiterate and do not have any idea how to promote my blog. It gets no traffic. It has hundreds of stories on it going to waste.. The blog address is  kingdavidsplace.blogspot.com Any information you offer will remain confidential if you wish. Thanks David Stein

The Walgreens Pharmacy at Lyons and Coconut Creek Road in  Coconut Creek, Fl 33066 is what I am writing about. I do a lot of shopping there for prescriptions and products.  I do because it is located close to a gated community where I live. Its a matter of location, location, location.  The store is overpriced, understaffed, has long waiting times on the phone or in person, and has weak organization. The best thing about that Walgreens is a pharmacist named Scott who is really great at his job. There is a Publix Supermarket nearby which is less expensive and more organized but there is no Scott there.   Anyway, I was looking in the big freezer section yesterday and saw that on the door fronts of all the sections there was all these stupid sticker symbols of milk, ice cream, candy, frozen food, and a lot of other products which were pasted and stuck on.  Looks terrible. The dummies who figure those things out do not realize that many older people do not have...

 The Supreme Court has as much integrity as Donald Trumps . Zero. With Ginni Thomas Clarences wife, possibly calling the shots for Justice Clarence Thomas how can anyone regard the Supreme Court as the impeccably fair arm of the judicial system.? Clarence  would have never even been confirmed as a SC justice if Joe Biden had not gotten him through the confirmation hearings years ago.  Anita Hill stated  with indisputable testimony that Clarence sexually harassed her. She was not believed by enough idiots in  Congress to get Thomas rejected. It is sickening to have a slimy husband and wife team making critical Supreme Court decisions..  Impeach Clarence Thomas and indict Ginni for her behavior in trying to overthrow the 2020 election.

  David Stein  |  Coconut Creek , Fl Vladimir Putin is the biggest bully who ever existed in this world. But, the bully psychology is the same with him as it always has been with any bully. Putin will keep terrorizing and killing as long as his victims will not fight back. Whether the bully is in the schoolyard or in a worldwide confrontation the only way the bully is stopped is when his aggression is resisted. I understand. The stakes cannot be higher in the worlds conflict against the Russian dictator Putin because standing up to him risks a nuclear war. However, not standing up to him risks allowing a psychotic killer to take whatever he wants from any country because he has intimidated the world. Words will not stop him. Actions will possibly finish him. So far, the bully Vladimir Putin has not been tested to see if he will bow to fear being instilled in him by America and all the NATO countries showing and telling him they will take no more punishment. Putin will not...

  OCD which stands for obsessive compulsive behavior is such a gigantic subject with so many tentacles that I will just speak to what I have learned through personal experience because all OCD sufferers share a common nucleus in their disease.  Fear.  It is the root of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It applies to all sufferers no matter how disconnected they are. We all share the same root cause. Fear.  Whether your OCD manifests itself through commonly understood actions like continual hand washing, checking the door lock, counting to 1000 before you can fall asleep, and thousands of other acts, or, if your OCD  lives strictly in your brain by unchangeable thoughts of hurting your friend, jumping across a pond of alligators, or challenging a prize fighter to a boxing match it's the same mental disorder. OCD is entirely rooted in fear of doing the unknown. Its an urge to perform some action to get relief.  An action to take away an urge ...
