othing much to report, I guess. I just got finished watching
CNN’s replay of its coverage of this Massachusetts rape case—watched one of the
defendants tell his version of what happened which sounded like a hasty
improvisation to me, but what do I know? In other news I see that Congress is
again trying to cram school prayer down our throats, that California officially
endorses job discrimination against homosexuals, and that a woman who had
herbicides dumped on her cannot collect for personal damages, but can collect
for the damage done by the stuff to her property…. Madness.
Black-is-white thinking continues to reign … Fundamentalists
are being cruelly persecuted because they aren’t allowed to require classroom
prayer, while some people want to infringe upon the rights of bigots to
discriminate against whomever they please.
I’m watching Reagan continue bumbling around in the
mideast—one of the things that amazes me is that although Reagan’s mishandling
of this Syrian crisis eclipses any American foreign policy disaster since
Nixon’s Vietnamization of that war there has been no wave of public revulsion
against him. I can understand the rats following the piper, but why don’t they
desert the sinking ship?
I can’t stand watching/listening to/reading the news any longer—it
always pisses me off and ruins the rest of my day. Better to live in ignorance
it seems to me.
Emotional weather report: clouded and gloomy, with a profound
low blowing in from the north … stay tuned for sports.
