I'm back, Bitches!!!

Alright, this blog has been dormant for over ten years. However, as Facebook has become too damned toxic to deal with, I've decided to resurrect it instead.

I will still discuss juries. But I plan on opining on any damned thing that crosses my mind. Some might be legal. Some might be political. Some might be cultural. Some might be personal.

The world is falling apart. Russia is committing unprecedented war crimes in Eastern Europe. The US finally has a serious president again, but at this time of peril, Americans are blaming him for things that he has no control over such as the price of oil. When the world desperately needs adult guidance, the American government is now up to the task - but the American people are not.

Nearly half of Americans have refused a life-saving vaccine not for medical, but for political reasons. They follow a small-minded tyrant and hypocrite who himself took the vaccine as soon as he could. They are asleep and delusional.

We still have millions of people in jails and prisons across the United States, and perhaps only ten percent of them belong there because they pose a risk to society. The rest are just eating up tax dollars and suffering for the sake of suffering, so that we can show how big and tough we are. The other way of looking at this is that we are cowards, so afraid of inanimate substances and petty crimes that we are willing to go bankrupt to lock people in cages and destroy lives, and not willing to do anything to change our culture so that so many people are not forced into lives of crime. It's sad, sick, and unsustainable. We should do better.

Climate change remains real regardless of what the petrochemical industry wants us to think. By the end of this century, people worldwide will die from its effects. SO long as we feel safe TODAY, though, we simply do not care. Let our grandkids sort it out. We want our V8s and we want to turn our AC down to 68 in the summer. Dammit.

Insecurity, depression, anxiety, fear and hostility are the primary influences on world events. Make no mistake about it - we are all connected. And the war in Ukraine will raise the price of energy and food not just there, not just here, but internationally. Those who live in poorer countries, like Sri Lanka, will be left to rot. This will include millions of the Russian people, whose leader caused this chaos. I realize that blog readers want to come here for answers. At this point, I don't have any. I have concerns, not answers. Deal with it.
