Nowhere else in the world is the simple act of going to school so fraught with danger as it is here right here in the gun-crazed United States. We lead the world in mass shootings. I have school-aged grandkids. I live in fear of what might happen to them, what might happen to any kid in school. God damnit, we should not have to be afraid that our children will be murdered in their classrooms. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Politicians & nightmares

. . . I am just slightly surprised that I was unaware of the fine sci-fi radio series X Minus One and its predecessor, Dimension X, until about 10 years ago. This situation is probably due to the fact in the heyday of 1950s and 1960s television, I just did niot take radio very seriously. I was aware of radio drama -- Have Gun Will Travel, The Whistler, The Shadow and the ilk. But I was not aware of X Minus One or Dimension X until I heard a promo for them on my car's Sirius satellite radio. What a happy discovery! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

That the Vietnam War was immoral has become a nearly universally accepted view. There is a potent argument that any war is immoral. Which is why I surprised myself when I began thinking that I would like to see something like the Gulf of Tonkin incident give President Biden the authority to intervene militarily on behalf of the innocent residents of Ukraine who are being butchered on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

It's nice when things go your way. But things don't always go my way. Oh, sure, I'll get angry. Maybe I'll pout, or weep, or curse. I'm human. I do those things, just like you do.
