From whence does nonsense arise? Does it come from the dimmer bulbs of society, from the wiliest ones, or from a dastardly combination of both, along with situational input from the world at large? I believe it is all three, along with a willingness to self delude, as long as the delusion appears to be beneficial for oneself. Unfortunately, that delusion rolls all through, down and up, at all levels of administration, from right here in CV all the way to the top.
Here at CV we still have the lessening numbers of true believers of David Israel. They still fall for his grandiose images of himself as the savior of the Village, even as he and his enablers have brought this Village to its knees more times than have been acknowledged. In fact, this group denies facts - the near bankruptcy, the terrible planning, the imaginative dating of necessities: i.e. the road lasting another ten years! This, as we walk around and slip not only on the deep cracks, not only on the not there huge ponding areas, but also on the ever growing sand and pebbles of the deteriorating crappy cement. But who cares, right? So a few people will fall. A few bike riders will lose traction and go over. Serves them right, correct, for certainly they are at fault! That is the cockeyed thinking we have had in the Village for way too long.
Our finances have gone to hell in the proverbial handbasket, especially due to the careless and unthinking disposition of the monies we do have, forsaking all opportunities to place the monies where at least some interest would be paid, little as it is. It all adds up. We have allegedly now signed contracts of great amounts without approval of delegates as David refuses to hold these meetings! Great governance! This administration does not fight for the rights and needs of the Villagers, and then puts on a shill for Benenson to explain why we need to keep paying all fees to them, and even more, as the cleaning continues. Why all the cleaning anyway, as no one was allowed in the vast percentage of the Clubhouse, the cleaning appears to concentrate on those guardhouses, forever and ever, and on the UCO building, into which one must apparently have the special code in order to get in!
Certainly, Lori Lightfoot's comment applies not only to the country in general, but also to us, right here in the Village. Denial of reality, refusal to acknowledge the needs of the people, the evident truths, the coverups, the obvious lies and desperate attempts to retain power, to the point of inciting rebellion, obviation of rules and regulations, and in terms of the country - right unto the point of suborning treason - well, as she so aptly says, " Dear G-d, stop the nonsense."
People are dying. They are dying in greater and greater numbers and these numbers are expected to keep growing. We have crossed the Rubicon and surpassed 3,000 deaths a day already, weeks and months before we were supposed to!! The deaths and even the infections are grueling, painful, lonely, and long lasting. The country is being decimated, right into the very cores of cities and to the most distant farms and hamlets. There is no escaping it, no denying it - unless you are a dyed in the wool Trumpie and thus cans deny reality. A hoax? How dare people keep putting this statement about? They are contributing to the deaths of thousands, and we will be breaking yet another record, over 300,000 dead, before end of week. Nonsense? No, murder. Plain and simple.
What is so difficult or political about wearing a mask? What is so difficult to understand that we must protect each other? What is so difficult to see the truth, to understand the neglect, the criminal neglect, of Trump , McConnell, McCarthy and other shooting their stupid mouths off Republicans, like Cruz and DeSantis, to name but two. Oh, not to worry about them, for when they test positive they get the best treatment, the latest drugs and recover they do, even as the poor schnooks of this country die - alone, afraid, in agony. And leave behind so much loss and grief.
Lightfoot says we are hurting all over the country and all we get is posturing. But we get more than that, do we not? We get a deluded and deranged man refusing to accept his well deserved loss of an election. We have those moral cowards refuse to admit the truths, denying to themselves the truth so clearly to be seen and understood. They are undermining this country, this democracy and even their own futures, their own seats they are so desperate to retain. Goose and gander, going around, put doubt on one election and the taint, the stink of that drips down through all the elections and well, dictatorship here we come, right into a country torn to pieces by the venality and cowardice of its own supposed to be sworn protectors!
So all the while, through the deterioration of this country, and contributing to it, we continue our self destructive behavior. We keep shooting the unarmed, the mentally ill, assign capital punishment to lesser crimes, and twist the government into the arms and as a tool of the corrupt, those wishing to retain their filthy grip upon us. So a brave woman blows the whistle on Florida and its corrupt Republican government, trying to hide the true numbers from the Department of Health, even raiding her home, even as her kids slept upstairs. What the hell are we doing? What the hell are we allowing? And as long as we do allow this, we are just as complicit as those who actively participate in it.
But, okay, here is as bit of humor - I think! Maybe not. Fox News is going to open their own weather show. So here we go. As the latest monster hurricane batters all the Gulf Coast states, and the entire southern coast line, Fox weather reports on some minor showers in the south, reassuring the audience that the showers will be heading off to Mexico soon enough, punishment from a wrathful G-d because they refused to pay for that ugly Wall. Proof, they shout into their mics, that G-d is on their side! Maybe not so funny as there are definitely going to be true believers!
In any case, the help, the path to fixing this mess we have allowed to grow, to fester in our midst, will not be cured nor stopped by G-d, but rather by active input by people. By brave people. By bright people. By simple people who recognize the truth. By true Americans, not greedy nabobs of corruption and cronyism. By people who are concerned for the future of this world, not only their bottom line!
Hard work, a hard slog to come, but unless one wishes to hear Fox Weather, one needs to do this.
Enough already. Enough nonsense, dangerous nonsense. Enough! Trump lost, Biden is #46 and the rest is treason. Plain and simple. Clear as day, though perhaps not the days to be predicted by Fox. The right hammer, the right hammer wielders, and the nail to be hit on the head. As many times as necessary. As long as is necessary. Simple enough.
