I am as hapless as any other man, who must gnaw first over threats before I can enjoy the meat of my blessings. So, while I am geographically removed from both the most public loci of conflict in the world today, Israel and Russia, clearly the USA is intimately involved in both, as the most powerful of our Parliamentarians has declared himself a 'wartime Speaker', Speaker of the House being his specific title.

So, despite my remove from it, I am nonetheless threatened as close neighbors are by brutality close at hand. Economists are moronic shills for whatever political actions are desired by whoever has the money they want to account, so when crime rises and more vandalism occurs, they proclaim window manufacturers benefit and GDP rises. When more taxes are squeezed from working stiffs and funneled into the vaults of weapons manufacturers, cage builders, and makers of shock collars, again, GDP rises and the economy roars, although we must pay $40 for our toast in the morning, if we can get it. All the economic benefits of war inure to the slaughterers of mankind, and unless we join in the slaughter, we are the slaughtered, economically.

I hope your lack of interest is rewarded by better news of better things, you better enjoy.

Thanks!
