38. All of the above: fine with me!

May 2019

I learned from the Watergate era with all those vile Nixon felons and scumbags and soon-to-be apologists for their scrum and crime and corruption rightfully going to prison, doing time, writing books and going on the speakers’ circuits that you “don’t buy books by crooks”.

You might say it’s another form of good-parenting: you DON’T reward OR reinforce bad behavior. I won’t give antagonistic or oppositional entities my money, my viewership, my subscriptions, my attendance, my vote, or ANY imaginable ways or means of my involvement or participation or support.

Not EVER.
