NOTE: please accept my apology Dear Reader, for any who may have ventured forth on this blog of late. It has been a long time since I last posted...my mother died, and I decided to live briefly on Venus. But, I have returned, and hopefully you will still come along on some new adventures, even if they are bitter--as th is entry most certainly is.... I have written, in this blog, many warnings about absolute power. I have also dealt with the problems that come into focus, when individuals are seduced by that power, to the detriment of plebs. So, there probably isn't that much left to say, excepting the fact that this seems to be an inexhaustible subject, due to the endless samples that continually present themselves. What I'd like to do in this entry, is to look a little bit at beginnings, and endings. Hopefully, you might see a few parallels, and forgive me pointing them out along the way.

DANGER--CAUTION--BEWARE. What follows here is yet another commentary on this year's presidential election, Dear Reader. Believe me, I am more than bored with this subject matter, but the candidates keep shocking me into a catatonic state. Honestly, we must be the laughing stock of the world.

On the one side you've got a mainstream politician, spouting platitudes (Harris), while on the other you've got a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. I am compelled to address comments made by the dictator wannabe, Mr. Asshole (i.e. Trump): "Immigrants are no longer welcome in Donald Trump’s America. Instead, the Republican presidential nominee posited that under his potential second administration, he would round up and mass-deport noncitizens based on their “serial numbers.” https://newrepublic.com...
It's the time of corn on the cob, red white and blue flags, hot dogs, and beer. And fireworks. Of course fireworks. Overall, a time for Americans to celebrate the end of our eighteenth century revolt against the authority and overlord-ship of England. I hope that you will all enjoy your hamburgers and beer, as I know that you will all reflect for a second or two on the wonder of free speech and the right to assembly. Freedom (well, relative freedom) is a pretty nice thing. So, Dear Reader, enjoy your fourth. If you're curious, check out any of these entertainments: I watch them every single year and remember that without John Adams, we'd all be pretty screwed in this country: https://dai.ly/x2ngcau . 1776.
