If what Clarke said here is correct, we’re in hot water as a species, because it’s fairly plain that our morals are in a steep decline, at least in the United States.

About 30% of American voters support Donald Trump as the next president.  Yes, about one-third of us are garden-variety racist morons.

Another 10% or so are categorically against government programs designed to improve the lives of common people and mitigate climate change.

Doesn’t bode well.

Btw, why can’t we elect someone like Arthur C. Clarke?  He was an intellectual of towering proportions with a pure heart.

Thanks, Mike, though this comment might have been more useful had it come two and a half years ago.

It’s now completely clear, as if it wasn’t before, that Trump asked his vice president to commit a felony, and that this itself is a violation of the law. Asking Georgia’s secretary of state to “find 11,790 votes” violates the equivalent state statute.

There’s really no way Trump can escape justice unless he flees the United States to a country that will not extradite him.

Texas senator Cruz actually is under attack–by everyone in his state with a conscience who uses reason to guide his behavior.

Come election time, we’ll get to see exactly how many voters fit that description.

From this: With 13,000 watts of peak power, HXT series (of electrical generators) runs on gas, propane, or natural gas – the largest Tri Fuel Portable Generator on the market! Find where to buy.

It runs on three different fuels. OK, let’s examine this from the perspective of advantage to the customer.

In the case of an electrical power outage, suppose your gasoline stations shut down and our gas utilities do the same.  Just go get yourself some propane! What a benefit! If this makes sense to you, you may be just stupid enough to buy this fraudulent product.

Maybe these folks need to broaden the fuel spectrum even further.  Would it be more appealing if this device could power itself off of methanol, butane or acetylene?  Whatever.  Jump on board now.  Buy three or four, before “supplies run out.”

The under-educated have always been at an economic disadvantage; now they’re hunted down like vermin.

Taking advantage of religious people goes back to the dawn of humanity, but it’s never been more egregious than it is now.

Here’s the former president of the United States, “retweeting” a post that suggests that he’s living a life of righteousness under God.

Here, U.S. Senator from Texas Ted Cruz makes another in a series of hard pitches to Trump supporters who believe that the 2020 election was stolen, and that the prosecution of the former president is a witch hunt.

For those who don’t wish to watch the video linked above, I’ll summarize: the key here is the need to donate. Big. And right NOW! Do whatever you can to send Ted Cruz back to congress. God will send you to Heaven, and, even better, send all those woke people you hate to suffer eternal torture in hell. Write those checks, or donate online, NOW!

This is just one more proof-point that a huge market has opened up based on the pure, cold mathematics of emptying the wallets of America’s most hateful and ignorant.

I’ve been told that I have a fairly decent marketing mind, but I lack one critical component to entering this means of shooting fish in a barrel: a conscience.  I know you have that shortcoming too.

You might think there is no upside to the demise of the American educational system and the accompanying spike in ignorance.

You’d be wrong.

It’s made possible a market for products that have no real value.  Cunning entrepreneurs are making a fortune selling worthless garbage to a large and growing cohort of people whose capacity to think things through is feeble–on a good day.

The paradigm for keeping a swimming pool clean is based on the fact that gunk that lands in the pool either floats on the water’s surface or sinks to the bottom.  Pool filters take in and remove the gunk from the top, while “creepy crawlers” move across the bottom of the pools.

Do you want another expensive, redundant device, to clean the surface water? You can buy one at the site linked above.

When this is over, it will be clear that the only mistake Trump made was running for president.

He could have stayed in business indefinitely, heartlessly ripping off tradespeople, donors to his sham charities, students at his fraudulent university, and everyone else who had the poor fortune of being associated with him.

But once that sociopathic narcissist got into public office, especially one with the visibility of a U.S. president, Pandora’s box was opened, and there was no turning back.

At least some Republicans are coming after Trump, albeit in ways that skirt the main issue.   Nobody seems to be saying that Trump is a brazen criminal who came within a gnat’s ass of ending democracy in the United States.

Not only are teachers paid poorly and subjected to active shooters, they’re muzzled when it comes to curricula and how it’s presented.

It’s hard to imagine anything else we could be doing to destroy our children’s educations.
