We are making like, NO money right now, so, in addition to working on our online shops--which are making a fraction of the money they used to--I am trying to re-establish my psych instructor cred by creating these videos. Part 2 will have to wait until after Perkins has had his long awaited romp in the park.
To continue the conversation from the previous thread: Alan has the right of it. Although the dictionary definition of "chemical weapon" is broad enough to include lead bullets (after all, everything is a chemical), people do distinguish between poisons and things such as white phosphorus, napalm, and flamethrowers that are designed to burn. Which is presumably why the 1929 Geneva Protocol that banned chemical weapons was titled, "The Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use in War of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or other Gases, and of Bacteriological Methods of Warfare." Significantly, the 1980 treaty banning use of white phosphorus, napalm, and other incendiary weapons against civilians is titled, "Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons Protocol III." The US signed Protocol III in 2009.
To be honest, I don't really care what it's called, because the terms all have political purposes. If it harms children it's just plain wrong and it doesn't take a Protocol to comprehend that.
Morticia kitty-kat isn't doing too well. You'll recall that about a month ago she had a huge abcess in her mouth lanced. An abcess is an infection, of course. We thought a couple of courses of different antibiotics had gotten rid of it, but it has come back. She seems weak and lethargic and wants a lot of comforting. But she has a good appetite for the special food she is getting, so the news isn't all bad.
I think I mentioned this video before, but my first psych YouTube video is now actually ON YouTube rather than just on my personal blog.
ReplyDeletePart 2 is in the works.
And whether we're looking at YouTube or a Japanese kimono, Howard is first in our hearts.
