Those of you who know me personally know that I am not a fan of war in general, the current one the U.S. has blundered into in particular, nor do I hold a positive brief for the current White House Administration. I am by nature and political affiliation, an Independent. I don't want to lend my name to either of the two major parties.
Those of you who didn't know? well, you do now.
Lincoln's Dictum, sometimes attributed to P.T. Barnum (which I can understand) goes:
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all of the time."
Delightful to see the rare occasion when the third part holds true. Captain Karma Rules! the chickens came home to roost, and I cannot recall a time in recent memory when I was so happy to see the party in power get its comeuppance.
And for the first time I can ever recall, every measure and every candidate for which and whom I voted for (or against,) passed, failed, or won as I would have it-- I batted a thousand. Never happened before, probably never will again, but for once, I am pleased to be in the majority.
Probably means I should keep an eye out for signs of the Apocalypse ...
Yeah, it was sort of strange and surreal, I wondered for a moment if I was in the right dimension or has somehow slipped through the looking glass without noticing. I haven't been this happy with politics since the troops came home from Viet Nam. There is still much to do though to keep things on track.
