Damn straight I do! Bunch of silly worked-up gooses pouncing on well meaning literary critics like us as though we peed in their cheerios; I am sure the thank you cards that JK Rowling sent them more than assuaged their pent up emotions back then.

...


Wait! What? Not even a thank you card from her? That nasty, greedy, plagiarizing little 🤬

I thought i had grown up 😳 but then i came across the link about American Wizarding school on my newsfeed... I loved what she wrote... Gave me all purana wala feels... I have spent the past day or two going through pottermore, reading all the stuff she has written there 🤪
I think i ll probably watch Fantastic Beasts 🤪
And i was never a big fan of harry potter movies.. Just the books.

Are you guys talking about that harry potter vs twilight thread?

Why would anyone fight over HP? But I am kinda excited about that thread. I totally vote for encore.

BTW big news over South China Sea, International Tribunal rejected China's claim over the territories . Interesting and tense times ahead, there.

Angie - Looks like I gave you wrong information. In certain states in US, it is legal to shoot cops in self-defense, if they violate your rights.

But when it comes to SWAT teams raiding a person's  home for drugs, it looks like the law is on  the side of the SWAT teams.

Ah...   this is so much better  K  : )  The right to self- defense  sounds fair . The way I see it,  the cops in US have a greater probability of dealing with  armed suspects. The liberal gun laws in the US only add to the cops anxiety and in this unfortunate case ,  a  gun carried for self defense by the apprehended suspect ended in making  a cop jittery enough to pump multiple bullets into the unsuspecting victim. All it took was a broken tail light for the tragedy waiting to unfold. Strange how no noise being made about the right to possess guns!

The "i" in the image is a reminder to myself to again start contemplating about the "difference", if any, between i and I. I saw Kung Fu Panda 3 yesterday and there was a lot of talk about "Who am I", "Universe" and Qi (Ch'i) which got me thinking again 

Different as in difference between a problem and its solution. Chi is fascinating. Could well be the vital link between i, I and the Universe.  Would like to know what you turned up with there.   I thought I had sensed some  skepticism regarding  Chi.   Wow, if  it took a Kung Fu Panda to elicit a re-think !!! So why grudge the Potter maniacs their Potterionics  😆

You never know what lessons one may draw from its  diverse characters.
