THAT IS OK TOO

Becoming a senior citizen can be fun if things hold together: if your health is good; if income is adequate; if your mental state maintains; if your relationships remain strong; and so on.
You gain a certain perspective…especially if your memory does not get fuzzy.

And so, you can often be guilty of feeling just a little superior when younger folks display their ignorance about this or that happening in the family, the community, the nation, or the world.

The national dems would have you believe that unemployment today is the worst it has ever been. False.

They and others allege that the US is bereft of international allies. False.

They and others allege that additional exploitation of fossil fuels in North American would be a mistake. Wrong.

They and others [tao] allege that we can realize national energy requirements entirely by bringing online alternative sources of energy…w/o recorse to a fossil fuel bridge. Wrong.

Tao seem not to understand the importance of traditional mores, beliefs, customs, etc., and the dangers of allowing them to become irrelevant. They know not how little they know. They know not what they do.

Tao seem not to realize the unique role of the US in international affairs…and the significance of the process by which this uniqueness came to be. Such realization requires one to live outside the eternal present.

And on and on.

Yes, it is satisfying to know that you know more than some of our leaders.

And yet I am aware that a great comedian of our recent past once declared that isn’t it a shame that the only folks who know how to run the world are barbers and cab drivers…and in my case, a retired teacher.

But still, it is grand to watch. It would be grander to be able to act and change things.

But such is not to be.

We will watch and know a few things. That is ok too.
