2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT
Yes, I'm sure that you, like me have been wondering why a bloated, nasty, self-serving, amoral, immoral and orange narcissist could ever be president of USA.
This man seems to be, in a short space of time, knocking down any good that that country has done over the last couple of decades, furthering all the bad things that have been created and turning a blind eye to problems that all humanity faces.
Well it just may be that this isn't an accident and that the Republican backers of Trump aren't stupid and may well have a nasty game-plan going on.
I like Noam Chomsky's essays and here is one that has a great insight into what is going on in the USA and how we all are being adversely affected.
This is worth watching and listening to.

PATHOS
"The candy floss salesman
Watches ladies in the sand
Down for a freaky weekend in the hope
That they'll be meeting Mr. Universe."
- 'Up The Pool' Jethro Tull
UP THE POOL
UP THE POOL
This song is inherently sad due to its nostalgic musing. Ian Anderson thinks back to the times he spent at Blackpool both growing up and on his later visits when he was living in London.
The verse above about the lecherous candy floss man watching 'desperate' young women sums up one of life's little ironies - aspiring to something you can't have. Sad really.

GOOD /BAD
Here's an interesting article about a moral dilemma:
GOOD - BAD
Should good deeds be rewarded?
Should the perpetrator of a good deed expect some sort of reward?
Does being on the 'moral high ground' condone other forms of bad behaviour?
This is interesting because we are increasingly being made aware of horrible behaviour from religious people, politicians. business leaders, famous entertainers and people of power, position and influence. It's only the rise of social media and immediacy o other forms of media and communication that is making this so overt - the implication is that things have always been this way.
Why do people behave in this way? Is it because they feel that they have a 'god given right' because they have attained fame, prosperity or position?
I think bad bastards are bad bastards no matter what 'good deeds' they do to disguise it.
I'm black and white and am an unforgiving bastard.
Turn the other cheek?
No way.
