December 9 2015. In essence (and there are exceptions) the 1% care only for #1 (and the Republican Congress—financed by them—cares only about them also). They, who finance Congress, set the agenda. It is consistently self-serving. It is destroying America. Unless a serious effort is made to make the Constitution work, it won’t. And it isn’t.

December 7 2015. Nations, like people, can lose their sense of direction, their sense of purpose, their confidence—and their values. Sometimes they recover; sometimes they do not. The Roman Empire took a remarkably long time to collapse (hundreds of years). The British Empire took decades (quite a lot of them). The Soviet Union vanished in what seemed like the blink of a hung-over-eye (all that vodka). The decline of the U.S. looks like like being a little slower—but not a lot. This is a sorely wounded Great Nation—and most of the wounds are self-inflicted. When I use the phrase: “The American Tragedy continues,” I mean just that. It doesn’t have to be—but it is looking increasingly inevitable. The underlying economic data are damming—and the problems are not confined to the economy. They are social, cultural, racial, and educational—and run deep.

December 6 2015. Synergistic lethality—where chemicals are can concerned, two and two can make a toxic five (or higher). And drugs, by the way, are chemicals. So are we poisoning ourselves even more than we think—and/or are we being poisoned? It seems highly probable.
