"News" all over the place

We've got a classic sit down strike. Everyone is telling LGBT folks what they should, should not, must, must not, do -- now, later, yesterday, today, tomorrow.

The simple fact nothing gets done until we act forcefully is always forgotten.

The economy is / is not going down the tubes, we need public works --- no, no, no, we need to give the money to private industry, banks, corporations -- let the auto industry die, nationalize, privatize, go left, go right -- etc., etc., etc.

In other words, the right wing is still spinning ideology. Ideologues who hate unions, hate working people who actually make a living wage (they're SO unruly, not appreciative enough -- just rabble), and are so overcome by greed that they would destroy the nation before endorsing wide spread prosperity.

Those who are still fighting against FDR's actions during the last depression do not quite realize he (FDR) saved the ruling class. He took action, tried all sorts of things, all to give some respite, some hope.

We avoided wide scale insurrection. We avoided possible revolution -- and the ruling class remained the ruling class.

Anyway, I'm really upset by all the crap we are being sold -- so, I brought in some tackle boxes, and tried to rationalize some of the tackle -- slabs here, spinners there, plugs, worm weights, hooks, various soft plastics, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc ----- did I ever mention we have Cats? Sweet, lovely, cuddly,pussy cats -- with that famous curiousity?

Cats and hooks do not mix. I had visions of an emergency Vet visit. Sunday night. A sweet dear kitty with a treble hook dangling from her mouth -- me stammering about how the accident happened -- strange looks from all the folks in the hospital (along with one of those bills for $500.00 for next to nothing).

I put the tackle boxes away -- I can do it another day..
