“To acquire immunity to eloquence is of the utmost importance to citizens of a democracy.” — Bertrand Russell
(Boy, old Bertie definitely knew his shit! For those of you who have followed this blog since the early days, you know that I am wont to say: You have to read between the lines, folks! Politicians, and the corporate media, are masters of eloquent BS. So much of what they say is mis, and dis, information, designed to keep us kind of numbed, and in the dark. Besides some of the garbage that they spew, you also have to listen for the things that they’re NOT saying. No one seems to question WHY anything anymore. Just that it’s tragic, and so and so are the bad guys, and we’re the good guys, and our thoughts and prayers are with . . . whoever. The more we can realize this the better our democracy will be. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
