Happy Jack

People like their news delivered in their preferred form. On Twitter just now, a woman was recounting that she visited her friend across the road and hubby was sitting, watching CNN. That was his reality on world events. Over here, some prefer the Guardian for their reality, or C4 or ITV or the BBC.

So their reality, e.g. on deathjabs, will differ markedly from ours.  Now consider this from this morning:





Yesterday, I was looking out and upwards from my sunroom windows because there were two planes at a few thousand feet, from their wings were coming two cloud trails each. The prevailing wind was going to put those over a major city in the distance.

I watched one of them, the other was crisscrossing diagonally, it was out by now over the countryside, it turned and came back the other way, parallel, spewing more trail in the direction of the city.  That’s all I’m saying.

All right, consider this:


I’d argue that in both cases, let alone the myriad other things we report on which defy logic, there is utter madness at work in decisionmaking, but that CNN watcher or Guardian reader is never going to know until it all mysteriously falls apart.

And these people vote in governments.  Who are more of a problem for society?  The mad crims in govt or the couch potatoes voting them in or else not even noticing the outcry when good candidates are shut out of the process?
