For some reason, this struck me this morning. And, I wonder what could have been?
“… checked the Eternal Possibilities Machine, which generates all the possibilities for use in creating the alternative worlds. In all those probability lines …” CHURCH 10●19●62 (Vol 1) 978-0-557-08387-9 page 45
Still wish I have one of these. How would my life have been different? How would human history evolved? Could we have avoided the disastrous 16th, 17th, and 18th amendments?
Probably not, but it’s nice to imagine as we advocate for #endthefed and repealing those stupid ill-considered and disastrous amendments.

I found this quote and it shocked me. Since VietNam, I’ve always been against war as a strategy or tactic. I’ve seen the two children of a VietNam vet die prematurely from the effects of Agent Orange on their father.
The “peace movement” during Nixon’s administration was mostly and astroturfed Communist / Democrat / Leftist attack on the conservative Republicans. It was inauthentic! When the D’s came to control the Gooferment, nothing changed. And, ever since the welfare / warfare state as delivered on what Ike warned about — perpetual war for the Military – Industrial – Congressional Complex. We have the deficits to show for it along with the debt and unfunded liabilities.
Maybe MLK, Gandhi, and Bob Murphy are right. Non-violence is the path to peace.

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth is far more frightening – Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless.” was Alan Moore

… is from my late, great colleague Walter Williams’s September 9th, 2020, syndicated column “Today and Yesterday“:
*** begin quote ***
The poverty we have today is spiritual poverty. Spiritual poverty is an absence of what traditionally has been known as various human virtues. Much of that spiritual poverty is a result of public and private policy that rewards inferiority and irresponsibility. Chief among the policies that reward inferiority and irresponsibility is the welfare state.
*** end quote ***
So sad!
