From comments to NY Times article After Bomb Scares, Trump Tries Bipartisanship, Then Blames the Media
Two weeks before the November elections and all kinds of stories emerge. We are guided by narratives which is really about shining light on certain realities. Assassinated journalists close to home reporting on events far away. Strange, explosive packages in the mail. Disenfranchised, vulnerable people migrating north from Central America in search of peace and opportunity. All events true and all extremely symbolic.
I cannot help but think what is the big deal about the migrants coming north. There are so many crappy jobs to fill in the United States of America that we should just open the doors and let them in. “Here’s a pizza and I think there may be a gig cleaning toilets at the Trump hotel or gardening at one of his golf courses. But be careful. Many people in El Norte are pretty stressed and on narcotics.”
One of the narratives which is perhaps heavier than anything in the news is the latest story in the New Your Times about the sorry state of the Pacific Ocean off of California. California’s Underwater Forests Are Being Eaten by the ‘Cockroaches of the Ocean’
If our oceans die, we die. That should be obvious. The intelligence of homo sapiens is way over-rated.
Nevertheless, remember to vote and if you do not vote you are letting some nutcase determine your future and you have nothing to complain about.
