I think I’ll make March 1st an anti-holiday. This is my surly time, my misanthropic month, every year without fail—gray days to reflect on the collective stupidity of humankind stubbornly maintaining tribal alliances and power decision-making, especially at times when mass violence occurs. Thousands of bodies mutilated (and millions threatened) by old men in nice clothes and expensive aftershave. Each group thinks it’s innocent, but all are destabilizers of liberty. In-groups need their out-groups, otherwise marauding can’t happen. Prejudices and bigotries amplified, pointing the finger, not accepting our own failures as irresponsible, uncaring, unjust actors in a mob of cowards.
Good one. March madness. Love two free dogs in the park! Most dogs spend their days on a leash walking the sidewalk like the human they aren’t.
