After only five years I am back!
I have just been too busy to blog but how can a 60's radical pass up the current political situation?
Regardless of how one feels about the politics or positions on any or all issues, this election will go down in history for two things.
First, truth, though never an attribute of politicians, was deliberately murdered. It was replaced with fabrications, exaggerations and baseless opinion. Twenty years of planned dumbing down of the American public paid off big time. The forces of evil have clearly won the war on science. A carnival barker sold a gullible public a bridge (actually a wall) that does not exist and has no real reason to exist.
Second, ignorance, fear, anger, hate and aggression, the natural progression used by despots, provided the motivation for many (not the majority at all) to vote for undefined change at the cost of human decency.
I will have more to say when I have more time.
For now remember, we 60's teens survived LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, 2 Bushes and the Tea Party. We will get through this one also.
Remember you heard it here first...
