To thine own self be true

an obvious redneck party that is pro-death, anti-women, anti-children, anti-black, anti-gay, anti-environment, anti-vaccines, pro-conspiracies, and pro-guns. Why would any rational being (especially parents or female, black, gay, pro-science, pro-health, pro-environment, and peace-loving humans) vote for any of them? They definitely belong in the barbaric prehistoric past.

“There isn’t a lot out there these days that nurtures and fosters empathy and sympathy, so what else is there for these antivaxxer dopes other than acting exclusively from their egos, personal and dumbass political agendas?”

“The ‘Me’ and snowflake generations have come home to roost with a vengeance.”

“War has been declared on all women in Texas and (soon) elsewhere in the States. Shades of 1984 and The Handmaid’s Tale (complete with snitches and accompanying mass paranoia). The GOP has been dividing for decades: first against blacks; now they’re going the distance against women.”

“Family as well as thoughtful deeds, rational words, and kind feelings being clearly chosen and communicated are still basic/#1.”

“Stupidity is endemic, and the rube is ascendant”.

Canadians winning 20 medals at the Tokyo Paralympic Games.

just became more perilous and absurdly crazy in the past 2 days. Nothing like being susceptible to bounty hunters who are potentially your family, your lover, your ex, your friend, or coworker.

these days with passengers punching attendants and attacking other one another. 5 miles up on a fragile plane is not a safe place to be these days.

If I had a daughter looking for a job today, I would dissuade her from going into health care and working in the air. These are not safe places to be anymore.

and a long, relatively civilized Western peace, about 1/4 (more like 2/3 in the States?) of folks out there are clearly restless and ready to demonize the civilized, responsible, broader-minded majority and impose divisions in both North American countries.

They are choosing to divide and conquer, though not much will be left if they get their way. T.S. Eliot predicted that civilization would end with killing in the streets, which has long been manifest in the States and is becoming more common these days in Canada.

I am normally a peace-loving guy like the majority of Albertans and Canadians, but these anti-vaxxers have made us ‘the enemy’! These dummies do not like us, the laws, and any rules limiting their egos. In fact, they prioritize personal ego over everybody else in our society, including children.

That means that each of us is involved (whether we like it or not) in the imagined quarrel the dopes have picked with the innocent, minding-their-own-business majority. We have to know where we stand and why. We have to know that these muckrakers need to be kept in check and denied their narrow little implosive agendas. It is definitely the time not to be distracted or to lose our heads, likewise, especially with public mental health being under siege.

the long-time West Coast fringe mob spitting on, assaulting health-care workers, blocking ambulances in Vancouver.

Again, these anti-vaxxers are openly declaring war on good, decent, sensible, responsible, hard-working people. If they are going to pick a fight and draw lines, then a large societal (majority/80%) response is necessary to say nothing of police, RCMP, and the military (if necessary).

No unicorns to follow
No princess left to save
The king looks o’er his wasted lands
With one foot in the grave
True magic is impossible
When Merlin just does tricks
To entertain his captor’s whims
And a curse he can’t unfix (ah-hoom…)

chorus:
O, the days have turned to months and fled
The years to centuries are wed
Generations count their dead
Seasons sew us like a thread

Webs ensnare the rainbow life
A child is borne away
To grow up in a foreign world
Another castaway
As harpies gaze at mortals’ flesh
Illusion stalks the stars
And witches bargain for the souls
Of victims from afar (ah-hoom…)

chorus:
O, the days have turned to months and fled
The years to centuries are wed
Generations count their dead
Seasons sew us like a thread

Eternity is lost at sea
The tides consume the ghosts
Of lovers passing like brave ships
That never reach the coast
The lilac wood is empty now
A prince has gone to pray
The dragon sleeps within his cave
The poets dream of May (ah-hoom…)

chorus:
O, the days have turned to months and fled
The years to centuries are wed
Generations count their dead
Seasons sew us like a thread

is now more obvious in Canada.

We have to face the fact that e-media conspiracy theories (as horse dewormer flies off the shelf) have worsened the more ignorant types out here and that they are intransigent.
“We have met the enemy and he is us” revisited for the umpteenth time.

Again, these people are irrational, not concerned with facts, empirical evidence, scientific and health authority, let alone common sense and courtesy.

They are downright dangerous, immoral, and ultra-selfish, prepared to put themselves in hospitals for treatments and bills paid for by the public/many others who are vaccinated.

What’s worse, these idiots do not care a fig about infecting others who have the decency and common sense to get vaccinated in order to actually alleviate the crisis.

Worst of all, these dorks infect family, friends, and children with their blatant, arrogant stupidity.

I have no use for these dumbasses, do not feel sorry when they get sick or die (they have no responsibility for their actions/crazy choices), and feel that if there is a hospital bed shortage that they should be put on waiting lists after responsible, vaccinated people have been taken care of first.

What’s fair is fair. Especially if they are willing to kill off others for their ‘god-given’ rights and ‘freedoms’ to infect and kill others. They are proud criminals and self-satisfied, egotistical murderers. What could be more obvious?
