I look at what's been going on and the blather that passes for news over the past month or so.
Seen through the filter of my own personal health situation, I can tell you that I've been locked down in my own home since March 14.
I belong there, and idiot neighbors still keep ringing the bell for a sit-n-chat. "Oh please come over and fix my such and such". Right.
The Isolation is like the bitter pill that the school nurse gives you that you have to take no matter.
I remember the mass inoculations from the Polio vaccine campaigns. It was scary as hell for a third grader, and it didn't all go smooth. I passed out from prophylactic shock at the top of a flight of steel stairs, and fell down the entire flight. My right hand was in a cast for well over a month.
But the bitter pills, etc., were the norm.
I don't quite understand how we've gotten here. People used to man up and do the right thing regardless of their personal views.
Not these days. A lotta folks know better, a lotta folks kick up and drag their heels. Doesn't matter if the public health measures save other peoples' lives, the self centered won't do their bit. They hold their breath and get red in the face.
They can't get used to the simple fact that this is not about the individual.
As someone far wiser than myself once said; we must all hang together, or we will surely each hang separately.
...I also remember the evening news in the mid-50's, too. Somebody waking up from a Van Winkle nap today would believe they'd died and gone to Hell; watching what passes for 'The News" these days.
Between the years of political partisan BS, and now the Pandemic; there's a rage building that scares the living sh*t out of me.
No election will cure this madness. It will take something far more.
I tell us that we elect Trump and straighten out the Houses, or the Constitution becomes ass wipe. We don't, and if you're not a Communist, there is no future for you.
It's not about the guns, it never was. It's about what comes once they're taken.
A picture of the alternative.
Rant off.
