So it goes
Every time an expert suggests the slightest change to the way things are done which will benefit the environment or improve the lives of people it will be immediately resisted by business, farming and religious leaders, whose resistance to change will be praised and supported by the Murdoch media and then by right wing politicians, at which point left wing politicians will decide it would be a courageous decision to proceed and pull the plug on the whole idea, ensuring there will be no change until the next expert suggests something.
Horse with many names
Everybody has a hobby horse, all that differs is how hard and how far it is ridden.
And yesterday’s gone
American
MAGA-land
is locked in
a Groundhog Day
with no context
no history
no memory
of anything
that went before.
Strange way to live.
It’s just business
All the good
businessmen
are going
to destroy
the planet.
Rat kings
When times are
out of joint, and
people sense that
democracy
can be trumped,
fascists emerge
from under rocks,
from dark alleys,
from the woodwork,
from mum’s basements,
sniffing the air,
noses twitching,
ready for new
opportunities.
Rupert Murdoch’s America
USA was once
an amalgam of
Thomas Jefferson’s
America, and of
Abraham Lincoln’s
America, and of
John F Kennedy’s
America.
USA is
becoming an
amalgam of
Adolf Hitler’s
Germany, and
the Taliban’s
Afghanistan,
and of Atwood’s
Gilead
Stands to reason
As long as
counter-
intuitive
is a thing,
common
sense
isn’t a thing.
Snakes alive
If you make
a garden
snake proof, then,
when a snake
does get in
it can’t get
out again.
If you make
your brain to
resist mad
ideas,
then when the
madness does
get in, it
will stay there
forever.
Riddle me this
There are just
two kinds of
people in
the world. Those
who ask the
questions and
those who think
they know all
the answers.
