Whiskey and Writing

 I think most of us were hoping 2021 would be easier or smoother than 2021.  That’s clearly not the case.  It’s sort of its own dopey little sequel.  I suppose that’s life though.  Everything changes.  At this point though, it seems like things are just...unstable.  Instead of rushing around, we’re staying home more, which is fine for some, but many of us still have to go out and do what we can to make it.  All these lofty ideas we have for ourselves, maybe we can achieve them, maybe we can’t.  All I know now, is that some of the things I wanted to do, I’m not in a hurry for anymore.  I used to want to write thirty books, then it was fifteen, now its maybe four.  It may not be anything more we’re all so busy, but I tend to think its because I re-evaluated some stuff, and got a more realistic look at things.

I’m finding that people are finding things controversial that didn’t used to be considered that way. In either conducting my own research into politics, or just the daily nightmare of the national media, people try to make things controversial to get people to come over to their side. People themselves either don’t want to do any research into the simplest of topics, or are quick to label everything as “hate speech” so their opponents will have to be shut up. Frankly, we’re supposed to be the freest country in the world, and we can’t even come to terms to calmly and simply have open debate. I’ve never attended rallies, or anything like that, other than the arguments you might get in with family, or people online, I’m not in the political process that much but I’m working on something that should be fairly accepted by both sides of the aisle. I’ve been working on it for awhile, so I hope it does well. I think this is a sign too, people are being agitated, and taking to politics in way...

Perhaps the silliest thing as of late, is this idea that climate change is the new World War 2. Or better still that this current crop of politicians think they’re fighting “their World War 2.” First off, how absurd. Never mind it completely insults an entire generation of people who had to fight the most important war ever, it tries to equate a hoax with humanity’s greatest struggle. This whole idea that cow farts, and the car you use to go back and forth to work is making the weather change is rather...stupid.  This AOC chick is running around saying 96% of scientists agree climate change is real, its tough enough to get 96% of any group to agree on anything, and even if they did they wouldn’t resort to outlandish political name calling, and brute tactics. Or if that’s not enough for you, there’s always the whole “immigrants are being held in concentration camps” argument. That’s right illegal immigrants being held in facilities, because, well, they came here illegally, and you...
