DEMOCRACY IF WE CAN KEEP IT
Nagasaki August 11, 1945
The present danger to humanity is nuclear weapons.
But the present danger to the United States is
a cult called MAGA – the worship of one man above law and reason.
I am reading
American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. There are so many lessons, philosophical,
political, and psychological, to be taken from this tale that it should be
required reading in high schools.
Early in the
book Oppenheimer is studying in Germany for his doctorate in Physics.
This passage
I found particularly relevant and unnerving – an undercurrent that is too real
in American society today!
"He found many
Germans “bitter, sullen… angry and loaded with all those ingredients which were
later to produce a major disaster.“ "
I don’t know
what the answer is. Is our country,
after 250 years, about to disintegrate?
Are we all living
through the end-days of a great social democratic experiment – doomed to fail
because of the malevolence of human nature?

VETS ATTACKED THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6
Twenty percent
of the insurrectionist that attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, were military
veterans.
The media
seems shocked as to the reason, but it takes another veteran to understand.
We take
young men full of testosterone and teach them to kill and indoctrinate them with
patriotic fervor; then we send them into a warzone.
These men are
away from civilized society and bond with their brothers and sisters-in-arms. They have no compunction about pulling the trigger
or thrusting the knife against an evil enemy that puts themselves and their fellow
warriors in harm’s way.
These young
men are conditioned to react aggressively and with violence.
Then we
bring them back and dump them into society and expect them to immediately act
with normal accepted civilized behavior.
Each and
every one is experiencing some degree of PTSD. You can’t see and experience the carnage of
war: living under constant threat of death, injury, or capture - view the death
and injuries to fellow warriors; and ever be completely ‘normal’ again.
Fifty years
later, I cannot watch Vietnam War movies.
Most of all
they miss the support and brotherhood of their sisters and brothers-in-arms
that was so cohesive in the military. They are among civilians that are foreign to
them in their experiences.
Even if
misguided, is there any wonder that feeling alien in society, they grab the
moment to reenact and relive the emotion of movement and aggression and warrior
that has become a permanent part of themselves?

AUGUST 6, A DAY THAT SHOULD LIVE IN INFAMY
On October 6, 1945 the United States dropped an atomic bomb that detonated 1900 feet above Hiroshima, Japan killing 140,000 civilians incinerating 2/3 of the city.
Words aren't enough

TRUMP GOES TO JAIL?
Let’s get
this straight. Donald Trump will serve
no Jail time.
If Trump is elected
President in 2024 he will pardon himself upon taking office. If
any Republican becomes President in 2025 they will pardon Trump. If Joe Biden becomes president in 2025 he
will pardon Trump in an attempt to unify the enormous split that is fracturing
this nation’s population.
Trump will
not serve time in jail.
The most we
can hope for is that Donald Trump will be found guilty of all charges in a
court of law and go down in history as the most corrupt President in United
States history.
Reality
stinks

I SAW SOMETHING NASTY IN THE WOODSHED!
This is not the nastiest thing in your house.
This is!
If you don't take your strainer apart at least every two weeks, food will gathers between the strainer and the rubber stopper, rots and turns gross.
Then you are putting cooking and eating utensils in a sink that has a strainer full of bacteria.
I know we are talking about rot and slime; but we need a break away from Trump.
