I always assumed that they did use the pelts they had left over from kills in order to clothe themselves. The question I have is: did they discover how to create fire because they saw that their flint-napping could spark unexpected fires? Or did they discover flint napping while making fires? I'm pretty sure one would have to come with the other. Just as clothing, and subsequent survivability in colder climates probably came alongside hunting animals for food.

The moral agenda is, I admit, an illusion as everyone knows their agenda is profit based. But in an effort to maximize profit they cater to the child's disdain for rules and authority. Kids want to see examples of how it's possible to do bad things but still be liked, loved, and get everything that they want.

I mean if Aladdin got caught doing 90 percent of the things he does, during the era that is suggested, he would have a knife plunged into his abdomen and then he would pathetically bleed out on the cobblestone as wild dogs fight over his fingers. No ambulance, no lenient judges if you survive the stabbing, no investigation into your murder if you don't survive it. But that wouldn't make a good movie for babysitting, soooo....

Moral obfuscation like:

You don't have to do what your parents say even if your father is the king. You know better than he does..

And if you see a cute guy, you should totally give up everything including EVER seeing your family again, and losing your gifted singing voice in a voodoo ritual so that you can go shack up with a sailor.

And then if it turns out that you're not happy with your choices you can breach any contract you entered into and if the other party doesn't want to oblige then it's perfectly okay to steal your payment back from them.

The Little Mermaid did it, and everything worked out well for her!

Also it's perfectly alright to break into places you're not allowed to be. And if you're hungry, you can totally steal food, because if you don't you'll starve and die. And while surviving, if you're have to destroy other people's possessions, or ruin their chance to make a living, so be it. Aladdin could have gotten a damn job. "Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat!"

Shall I go on?

I always wanted to make software that automated that process for use in law enforcement. Reading plates at a distance, identifying criminals... Seems there are a lot of human input requirements buy they must ultimately break down to a set of conditions and rules. First I would have to learn how to code software...lol.

I have also seen flashes of light on at least two occasions. I don't know what they are. I suppose they could be any number of things. While I have seen a number of phenomenon, most of them I could reproduce with a little bit of money. The flashes would not be impossible but it would cost more money than it's worth to make just one single flash of light at ultra high altitude.

Yeah those are interesting events for sure.
