Who is reading me? I see that people are, but I don't know who.
My readership escalated when I was posting my memoir, or ranting about politics, but now my readership has dropped.
So has my writing about politics.
And I see that I'm not the only one tired of politics. Other people are tired of hearing about the shenanigans in high places. We need a break. We are tired of feeling depressed over the election. We are tired of reading or listening to name-calling, lies, manipulations, the throwing of power around.
And who voted Musk into office? Are you happy with him buying an election?
And then he was asking for a shutdown of the Government when he and his cronies weren't in office yet. Do we think that riches equate to governing savvy?
I have heard that doctor pilots often crash because they get the idea that because they are brilliant in one area, they are competent in all.
While we don't want to be engaged with the process, we do not wish to lessen our resolve to improve things, to take care of our people, to preserve our personal liberties, and not abandon our principles.
Some are afraid if we lighten up, we will stop caring.
We’re afraid it might be like buying a house; at first, we see what we want to change, all the improvements we’ll make. It seems critical. After a while, the flaws don't bother us. We get used to it. And then the media will sane wash whatever we were concerned about. We will drop into “Oh well.”
As Biden pardons or commutes death row prisoners to life in prison. T wants to up the death penalty. As T wants to ship off Immigrants, you know, those drug dealers, murderers, and rapists--why does he keep talking about them while filling his cabinet positions with men with nefarious sexual repetitions. Then Musk says we need more immigrants, for we will lose our workforce.
We could have a clash of the Titans.
And stop saying we are lazy fat Americans living in squalor with immigrants eating our pets (lie) and raping, murdering and drugging us. Stop turning us against each other. We’re better than that. And we are more sophisticated that to believe we should kill people to punish them. (Folks, Capital punishment means cutting off a person’s head.) Stop putting women down, threatening her by withholding medical care, or when some male who got her pregnant could then stop her from getting out of it she so chooses. Can you kill a soul? Does the soul enter the zygote at the moment of conception. And stopping the morning after pill, for heaven’s sake, sometimes the ovum isn’t even fertilized yet, at least not implanted.
Plus, this "Alpha Male" thing is ridiculous. It is an insult to the strong, kind men of America. In the wild, an Alpha Male takes care of his tribe, herd, or pack. He is the protector, not the perpetrator. And a pack that works together is stronger than one that is squabbling.
With horses, the strongest stallion stands as a sentinel, guarding the herd from predators so the herd can graze contentedly. He wants a happy herd. (And breeding rights, of course.) He doesn't keep them in a frenzy, scaring them, lying to them. He doesn't threaten them by saying he will ship them off or lock them up if they don't behave. He sends the young ones off to Momma to educate them.
It's the matriarch of the herd, the older mare who runs the daily business of living, raising the children, and teaching the male foals to be gentlemen. But we couldn't have a woman in office, could we?
And teach those" Alpha men" about biology and the environment and how to preserve the planet upon which we live. Have they forgotten they won't live in their underground bunkers for long if the earth becomes uninhabitable? And they can’t eat money?
