How to Finally Piece Things Together
NOTE:
I am NOT going to take Basic Instructions in a more political direction, but lately, I just keep remembering an episode of the HBO series John Adams, where a tax collector was being tarred and feathered, and a friend of Adams’ was silent. John Adams kept asking him, “Do you support this, Sir?”
If you want to avoid any mention of the current world situation, feel free to stop reading this commentary now, and rest assured, I plan to go back to the usual nonsense next week.
So, no, I definitely do not support this. I don’t think I’m going out on much of a limb, politically, when I say that the armed men in masks who attacked and killed both a woman who was trying to drive away, and a man who was trying to help a person up off the ground, are NOT the heroes of this, or any conceivable story. The idea that anyone might be offended to hear me say that shows how far we’ve fallen.
