14. A Blast from the past...

Thanks for the memories.

I haven't posted in years. I mostly just monitor the headline posts every day.

I had to take a sanity break and separate myself from the insanity of Drumpf's "viability" in the next election. It was such a relief to have an adult like President Biden sailing the ship of state.

It's easy to lose faith in a substantial portion of the American electorate when you see them actually listening to this traitorous moron blowhard grifter.

In some ways, it is like the willful ignorance most of us have when it comes to something as important as how our food is grown/raised/slaughtered. It seems that inconvenient truths and easily papered over by the magic fairy dust of selective ethics and personal expediency.

We are in the golden age of frauds, hucksters, and pseudo science, fueled by attention span-tuned algorithms and un-social media empires.

Bread and circus indeed...
