Value of nothing
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.
General Donald J. Trump
Viewed from afar,
in ignorance,
really, and with
no dog in the hunt,
no skin in the game,
no horse in the race,
it seems to me
that America has
recently refought
her Civil War,
but this time
the South won.
My way or the highway
All of us,
really,
have one track
minds.
Some of us,
though,
are happy to
explore
side tracks,
exit signs,
underpasses,
overpasses,
lay-bys,
and alternate
scenic routes.
And some of
us aren’t.
Acerbus et indignus
Whenever war
is declared,
whichever countries
are involved,
you will find,
making the
announcement,
a clown, backed
by his followers –
all hard-faced men
who intend to
do well out of it.
Groupies
There are people
who get all their
ideas from the
unsupported
opinions of
others; have faith
in some religion;
vote fascists into
power; love guns;
don’t vaccinate
children; and hate
women.
Generally these
categories
overlap.
500 years? A thousand?
There should be
a term limit set
on how long some
ancient, historical
grievance can be
used to justify
slaughtering
people today.
Death watch
All over the
world, people
keep dying
to please
other people’s
imaginary friends
Corrupt
Give one human
being a small amount
of power over
another and they will
inflict small cruelties.
Give them
absolute power
and they will inflict
unspeakable cruelties.
The Sun also rises in the East
Nothing is
certain in
this world
except death,
taxes, and the
absolute
certainty that
when things
seem to be
going well,
somewhere
on the planet,
religion will
bugger it up.
