Another Desperate Election

    We have another election day.  Since the last one we have had an attempted coup by the last president. We have seen lie after lie.  An attempt to assassinate the House speaker was just foiled, wither husband nearly murdered.  I have been away from this blog for awhile, but I anticipate that I will spend more time on it.  I tend to spend time on Facebook, but recently if I criticize right wingers I am told that I have violated Facebook standards.  Apparently their standards have become fascist.

    Perhaps they do not like that I remind people that Jesus is the archetypal Liberal.  I also have defended the right to privacy and point out that homophobia is a sign of people either being closeted or suppressed.  I have also mentioned that I have known (not "Biblically") at least 2 hermaphrodites.  Apparently there are a LOT of people insecure about their gender identity.

     Years ago (mid 1950s) when I was in the 6th grade in Sumter S.C. there was a 1st grade child who was born male but knew that he/she was female.  No one else in his/her family was in any way transexual,  The  girls in his/her neighborhood KNEW that she was a girl.  At school he/she was allowed to go to the girl's bathroom.  About 20 years later I (and my wife) met her as a grown woman. She was well adjusted.  I don't know the details about her transformation.  In show business I have met a number of male to female transexuals.  They are no threat to anybody.

 

                                                                    DAYS

          My days pass so slowly

                Screaming silently in the abyss

                        Of my mind.

           River of sadness,

                  Cascading through rivers carved

                          In my soul,

            Fueled by storms

                    Of memories

                          And dreams.

Election Day 2020

      Today is election day.  I voted by mail on the earliest possible day.  I checked and my ballot has been received and verified.  I wanted to be certain that I had voted to preserve our democracy.  I am old enough to remember when Eisenhower was elected.  I have seen many critical elections, but I have NEVER seen one so filled with hate and the potential of violence, including the ones during the Vietnam war and following the removal of Nixon.  I know that the military threatened to deliver Nixon in chains to the floor of the Senate when he threatened to declare martial law to stop the impeachment.  Trump is threatening civil war when he looses the election, and armed goons supporting him are already threatening and causing violence.  Boogaloo is the new helter-skelter.  If you don't understand that reference, look up Charlie Manson. Trump followers may include the KKK, but they look good alongside the "Boogaloo Bois" and the "Proud Boys".  

      We tend to compare Trump to his hero Hitler, but Trump and his minions are a very second rate copy of Hitler.  So far Trump has not been able to inspire the number of goons or the QUALITY of goons that Hitler did. I hope that his followers will fade away. Perhaps the "New World Order" (Novus Ordo Seclorum) dreamt of by our Founding Fathers will finally be realized following the end of the Trumpian nightmare.

Vote. Please

    We are facing one of the most important elections in the history of America/  We are in the middle of a serious pandemic.  We have a grossly incompetent president who hates the American Constitution and wants to establish a totalitarian state. Trump is trying to keep the American people from voting.  Please vote.

Impossible triangle

Trump's economic concept is also known as the impossible triangle. I was just watching an old episode of BAU and reference was made to the Penrose triangle. Wikipedia also referred to the difference between the triangle and the impossible triangle.

Is Truth Dead?

Just a quick word during these difficult times...... We are facing 2 serious problems : a virulent pandemic and the most incompetent president in history.  One of the problems with Trump is his hatred for American values. another is his apparent hatred for facts.  Luckily recently American people have become aware of the abuse by many thugs hiding behind badges. the frequent murder
of people solely because of the color of their skin.  We have seen many police officers joining in the protests, even "taking a knee" to acknowledge the need to end the racism too often practiced by police,  The same abuses related to race are also practiced against all people. Racism is, after all, just a symptom of deeper moral shortcomings.
