I'm worried, What happened to the lessons of the last century? I had a grandmother who lived through both world wars and lived to own and use a smartphone.
Much important history has faded from living memory. We mock, harass and intimidate our historians and philosophers.
We for get the optimism and courage of our parents' generation who stood up for civil rights, equality and social justice. We look the other way as hard-won rights are eroded. We sit idly by while we let tyrants exploit us and dismantle our democratic structures and rob us of our sustenance.
At times like these I turn to popular music for inspiration and wisdom. I would like to share one particular retrospectively enthusiastic piece I've recently discovered from more optimistic times and I'd like to think it hasn't been in vain quite yet. We are still the human race.
It's by Montrose (also a Scottish town) and is called Space Station #5 and goes like this:
Start, with the sun
And move on out
The future's in the skies above
The heavens unfold
And a new star is born
Space and time makin' love
Now, I'm sure that's the sort of thing Homer Simpson had on his 8 track in his car back in the day.
I don't care. It's much better than war.

:-) Of course you do... since you have nothing to say anyway. Objectively, you are doing what you are accusing me of... Exactly how your war mongers are doing in their information wars. Today's the day, right?

Who again has 150k troops on the border of the Ukraine? You've lost this argument weeks ago.

:-) Where do you get your news from? You're still war mongering there. Look at the bright side, you can declare victory every day the invasion doesn't happen, like those crazy Christians with their failed doomsday predictions..

No, the problem here is not the news, not the imaginary Western warmongers, but that there's a pile of Russian troops on that border.
Sorry, it's going to take regime change in Russia for a real victory at this point. As long as Putin or his like are in power, we can return to this situation in a few short weeks.
