Seems There's No Path to Peace

Open Thread Image.jpg

The wars just seem to expand. The Saudi-Yemeni war is increasingly hot. I suspect the US Israeli war with Iran will soon resume, and Russia continues to advance in Ukraine. Meanwhile Trump keeps hollering about getting the peace prize? You gotta be kidding. A big story largely riding under the radar is the Brazilian election. In a couple more weeks will be the run off to determine if Brazil becomes another US colony. Well, I guess I should count my lucky stars for this little hidden holler.

America, land of fresh-faced pseudo-rational pseudo-mastery

I've lived nearly all my life here. Most of my life was spent in California, land of eternal sunshine, surf, mountains, beaches, deserts, and unaffordability. I was able to stay there for as long as I did because I lived with my parents until they died, taking care of them on their deathbeds. I'll probably die in the Pacific Northwest, because it looks to me like the least-ruined portion of the country.
