Lifting veils

July 26, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in History, media, poetry, politics, science

The process

of ageing

is one of

lifting the

veils, one by

one, that hide

the number

of stupid

people

in the world,

until you

see clearly

the horror,

then you die.

Brave new world

May 9, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in climate change, History, poetry, politics, science, tax

If you think after

Coronavirus,

corporations

will stop

exploiting

workers,

will stop

trashing

the world,

will stop

supporting

wars,

will stop

buying

elections,

will start

paying

taxes,

you’re living

in a parallel

universe.

Stupid is as

April 25, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in History, poetry, politics

No one I ever

met, in the course

of my long life,

was as stupid

as Donald Trump,

and believe me

there were some

strong contenders.

Doubtful

March 9, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in Bon mots, History, literature, media, poetry, politics

I doubt the

benefit of

giving most

people the

benefit of

the doubt

If only they had known

February 28, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in climate change, ecology, evolution, History, poetry, politics, science

The human race

is in the

position the

dinosaur race

was in some

25 years

before the

impact of the

Chicxulub

meteor.

World view

January 27, 2020January 27, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in atheism, Bon mots, climate change, History, literature, media, poetry, politics, science

There is a real world

described by science;

and then there are

many imaginary worlds,

described by religion,

and politics,

and astrology,

and the media,

and psychics,

and economists,

and ideology,

and common

sense.

Get a life

January 26, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in atheism, evolution, History, literature, poetry, politics

Hard to take
seriously an
imaginary
being who wants
his (yes his)
followers to
be primarily
concerned with
their dead
epidermal cells:
their colour, their
arrangement,
who can see tnem,
and which bits can
be rubbed
together by which
people.

System failure

January 26, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in History, literature, poetry, politics

Capitalism
is the best
system for
making a small
number of
people very rich.
Slavery
is the
second best.

Value of nothing

January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 by nomdeplume707, posted in climate change, ecology, guns, History, poetry, politics, tax

Politicians

and journalists

always demand to

know, and then

reject, the cost of

measures to conserve

the environment.

But neither ever

ask the cost

of war.
