STUART TOLCHIN PUT THE LIGHTS ON 
SURVIVAL--- HOW DO WE DO IT

 
It was a revelation to me when I was first presented 
with Theory of Evolution during some forgotten School 
Year. Whenever that was I remember being really bothered 
by questions like: How did we get here? And who are we? and 
How do we stay here? and probably a bunch of other Junior 
High School questions (and probably how come I never 
learned to punctuate) Maybe Siri answers all these questions 
nowadays but I doubt that “She” or “He” or whatever “It or 
“Isn’t” really “knows” anything. I mean does Siri or any 
of the existing or non-existing contemporaries or coevals 

(see I’m actually not so dumb ”contemporaries” applies only when we are describing“persons”). Isn’t everybody just repeating something that someOne even two told 
them; and since computers only have the information given to them from other actual 
“persons” aren’t they (a possibly correct collective term? similarly limited?) 

What I’m trying to display with my undoubtedly irritating punctuation is that the 
rules we are taught in Schools about punctuation and everything else are all from some 
made-made up system. It’s not “TRUTH” to tell----it’s just convenience and lasts only 
until some other questions come up. This is what I think about most conventions like 
language and governments and laws and why should anyone think they should allow 
themselves to be inhibited by these rules? Yes I know you think that I am trying to lead 
into some discussion about ultimate “rights” in terms of the right to refuse vaccination 
versus the right be free from exposure and infections transmitted by unvaccinated 
people. A similar question applies to firearms and most other questions of civil rights 
and civil liberties. Let’s face it! As uncomfortable as it is to tell I have experienced veryintelligent people arguing both sides of any question. (I am or was a lawyer you know 
and lawyers are specialists in presenting “truths” as “untruths” and vice-versa.”) Let’s 
kill all the lawyers” Shakespeare’s Henry VI Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2. Actually, we need 
them to protect us from ourselves. 

Still given the actual imperfections, erroneous or purposeful of individual Sapiens, 
who should we believe? What should we use as our own personal system of morality to 
show us the road to follow as we make decisions in every wakeful moment of our life? 
For me the most satisfying solution was to follow the “teachings” of Darwin. 

He was a teacher or religious leader. In fact, I was told that because of fear of offending 
religious authorities he with held his theory from the world for academic and religious 
reasons and personal rejection. I believed that explanation for over 60 years until one 
moment ago when I checked with Siri and learned that the whole ’with held’ thing was 
a myth and the ’truth’ was that he was working on other things. This all goes to myinsuperable difficulty: What standard do I accept as a touchstone for decision making? 

Still, despite all my reservations and doubts I still go back to Darwin for an explanation 
of what course to follow. If you need a refresher on Darwin’s Theory it involves the 
isolation of the following three principles of natural selection which he does not 
attempt to explain: 1) variation,—the conservative force mentioned regularly today as 
an explanation of the continuing appearance of related but significantly different forms 
of life forms including viruses (why not vira?) heredity —the conservative force that 
transmits similar organic form from one generation to another; and 3 THE STRUGGLE 
FOR EXISTENCE) involving the adjusting variations that will confer advantages in a 
given environment. Yes. It is all about adjusting to survive and surviving right now in 
this environment. Remembering that your given environment is the totality of you at 
any given moment. Survival involves us and everything around us. Darwin explains 
SURVIVAL not as the survival of the FITTEST (as we are commonly mistaught) but as 
survival of the FITTER. There is no ultimate right only what is “Right” for you and me 
in any given situations and this may change from one day to the next. Darwin, I assert 
is a message that to avoid extinction one must adapt. Stubbornness leads nowhere and 
it is my hope that this realization will be recognized by all the powerful parties of the 
world (including each of us) that the only lasting solutions involve COOPERATION 
rather than stubborn competition. Discussion reaching a workable solution rather 
than a refusal to note what’s going on right around you. 

Have a good Holiday season 

RICH JOHNSON NOW THAT’S RICH 


THANKSGIVING: OUR DEPENDENCE DAY! 

Aaah! Thanksgiving week is upon us! 
I wonder if the spirit of Thanksgiving has held on all these 
years because it is essentially illegal to ‘diet’ on Thanksgiving. 
Or possibly many of us are thankful on Thanksgivingbecause that’s the one day in a year family members travel 
hundreds of miles to be with other family members. And 
we are thankful we see those people only once a year. Who 
can say?

In any event here are some ponderables to consider around 
the Thanksgiving table. 

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight. That’s because by then your 
body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends. 

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement. 

Did you ever notice the Roman numerals for forty (40) are XL? 

If you can smile when things go wrong, it’s because you have someone else in 
mind to blame. 

The sole purpose of a child’s middle name is so he or she can tell when he or she 
is really in trouble (Richard Otis!!) 

Did you notice when you put the two words ‘the’ and ‘IRS’ together it spells 
‘theirs”? 

When you are dissatisfied and want to go back to your youth, think of algebra. 

One of the many realities no one tells you about aging is that it is a nice change 
from being young. Yeah, being young is beautiful. But being old is comfortable. 

Back to Thanksgiving here are a few notable quotes on the subject: 

“Thanksgiving, man! Not a good day to be my pants.” Kevin James 

“On Thanksgiving Day we acknowledge our dependence.” William JenningsBryant 

“Coexistence…what the farmer does with the turkey – until Thanksgiving.” 
Mike Connoly 

How many cooks does it take to stuff a turkey? One, but you really have to 
squeeze him in! 

Finally, here is a poignant Thanksgiving poem to help you celebrate your holiday: 

May your stuffing be tastyMay your turkey be plump.
May your potatoes and gravyHave nary a lump.
May your yams be deliciousAnd your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinnerStay off your thighs! Anonymous 

I don’t know where you are on the whole God paradigm. I believe in Him/Her/
Whatever’s lol, existence. I endeavor to communicate daily with God, usually 
praying for family, friends, enemies, country, hemisphere, world…you know the 
typical stuff. I invite you to talk to the almighty before you nod off at night. And 
say to God, if you are really there, reveal yourself to me. (If you say that tonight, 
you’ve got God on a technicality on Judgment Day) Just get a good lawyer. 

I especially thank the Lord for the opportunity to have my particular brand of 
insanity printed in a classy newspaper. And I thank the 6 or 7 people who enjoy 
reading my “stuff ”. I pray for their mental stability (which is at considerable risk 
of destabilization as they continue to read my column).

Happy Thanksgiving. Be blessed. You deserve it. (We won’t talk about what I 
deserve, thank you.)
