For days I have been trying to think of some fluff to post here. Sadly, my mind keeps turning to current events and all I can think is, the country is going tharn.
Priorities have changed. There is more value placed on a fish or an eagle egg than on a human life. Some are more concerned with the killing of one dangerous man-eating beast than they are with the harvesting of thousands of unborn babies for profit. Our president compares Republicans to Iranian hardliners instead of trying to unite the country. And on the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, I see people blame the US for the war in the Pacific.
I take it back. The country has completely gone tharn. Values, social mores, standards have all gone down in the past few decades, and it seems like people choose to forget rather than make the effort to employ them. I keep wondering when people will finally say “ENOUGH!” and begin the path to betterment again.
Or if they will do so.

…and we will be blamed for being right all along.

Indeed.

Stock up on precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, and lead.

Lead best of all π

Lead is not as precious by itself as when it is combined with brass and chemicals in the proper ratios.

Of course! It’s implied π

Yes. The inclusion of “lead” in the “precious” category automatically adds the brass and other chemical components to the list as well.

Always have been a true believer in Lead-ership. And in giving one’s target enough lead…
Sadly, you are correct, the world, the nation, and society in general, are not what they once were. And it appears this is not going to get better anytime soon. It does make it hard to post about those kinds of things…especially when there does not seem to be any real constructive answers which generate a positive outlook/outcome.
But your friends, family, and others who fit in where they will, still enjoy your presence here, and in other venues. So, please don’t think or feel you are walking this path alone, because you are not.

Young people are going feral. I think that is how the Democrats want it.

That’s a great description right there.
