" I got to thinking yesterday--if someone came up to you and said you could save a life by doing something that cost virtually nothing and took no great physical effort, wouldn't you do it? I mean, it's just a god-damned scrap of cloth across your face when you go out around other people. It may be a little uncomfortable, but it's not impossible, and it's not dangerous to one's own health. Probably beneficial, in fact. So what the FUCK is up with Americans that we had to politicize this and make mask-wearing the mark of "snowflake" libs??!?! We NEED to get rid of Trump. But if, by some combination of voter suppression, Russian interference and skillful manipulation of the electoral college, we end up with Trump for 4 more years, then the Universe is telling us we're getting exactly we deserve."
Comment on an earlier entry from a friend. Damned if I know what's going on. The exploitation of an extreme version of liberty that reads "My rights are the most important rights in the country. You must respect my rights. I'll respect yours when or if I feel like it." The anarchistic, so called militia groups that want to bring down the government, stir up trouble becuase they feel like it, foreign interference, something else, some or all of the above.
I've been spending a lot of time in the family tree and frankly we are out wierding just about everybody. I don't care how far back you go. Maybe multiple greats grandpa Charles was crazier than a junk yard dog but he didn't have a world wide audience for his crazyness. I mean if somone really pushed it you might get thirty miles in a day, with multiple changes in horses. Ten on foot if you were lucky. not spanning a continent in hours. Trade routes could take you from Eastern China to Scandinavia. In three or four years if you took the land routes. those mountain passes tended to freeze up in the winters. So did the Russian rivers.
There was Clovis I. Convinced a young man to hurry his inheritance by killing his father. Then had him killed. Good ol' Clovis. A prime example of "I've got religion now the rest of you join up. Or else." Ah, well, you can choose your friends. You are stuck with your ancestors.
So far. #45 is whining as much or more than usual. The folks who traded their souls for a job with the administration have been sending out "just in case" resumes and coming up snake eyes. For some reason almost no one is cool with the idea of hiring them. I guess they could remove that info from their data and claim they've been meditating in Tibet for the last two or three years.
And has anyone noticed that the women in his administration including his lawyer have a Stepford Wives look in their eyes? Cue the Rod Serling intro.
