expressing our worst selves.

 
I blame the nonvoters,
not those who would vote, but face
serious obstacles. I mean those who
choose to abdicate their responsibilities
to democracy, and people who don't 
take their vote seriously enough to
learn who and what they vote for
when they do.


It's not social media.
I have been on social media for quite
a while, and back in earlier days,
happily engaged in fascinating
conversations.  It's that today,
people have fallen into an expectation
of expressing our worst selves.


No solution, within our insistence
on short-term profit, has been
fabricated to unbind us from our
most shameful stain. Humankind,
despite eternal lessons, won't refrain
from dividing:  me and mine above
all else made manifest in every
consideration. Righteously negating
potential friends from lists of who
we cherish or accept -- bonds based
not on logic, nor emotions shared,
but on selected categories infused
with fear.


dei = god
They're forcing God out of all
the places where they can enforce
authority. God, who loves Creation in
all its glorious diversity, instills a belief
in equity, inclusion. The God of Hate
and Torture they apparently worship
seems more like the AntiChrist.
Think?


Why aren't the liberal, responsible
women the greatest political force?


When we speak of the vast majority
of the oppressed against the small
minority of oligarchs, we must see
that we are brought down by
splintering into our individual
disinformed identities.


It is no matter of lesser evil when the
one group is clearly doing the work of
evil, while the other is merely imperfectly
human.


We expect other people to take on the
responsibilities; and we expect them
to do it our way.


Ambient chaos shouts
Nothing matters.  Nothing is real.
Complicit in dissolution because
"This is life." Leaving all the important
decisions, how we are allowed to be,
to those who see profits in insistence
on imposing their own reality.


Compare and contrast: Black Supreme
Court Justices, Thurgood Marshall and
Clarence Thomas.



What is autism?
People speak as if that is a thing we
all know; but when I ask, it doesn't
seem so.
