Trump's Fault:

A battery of scribes from Washington Post has posted a diatribe on how their president is mishandling the Corona virus. The article falls just short of accusing him of actually causing the plague.

An important part of this scriptural assassination attempt is accusing the prez of posting inaccurate numbers. 

Trump is accused of comparing the 22 corona virus deaths in the US with 37,000 deaths due to the flu virus in a previous year and the average of 27,000 to 30,000 deaths due to the flu annually.

Apparently, these "analysts" from the Post feel it is highly undiplomatic for the president to try to put some unwelcome perspective upon the importance the media is assigning the infection.

While it is uncertain who to blame; media hype like that from the Washington Post, or the social media, apparently President Trump does not view the international panic as a return of the Black Death.

Hooligans in charge:

Our Honourable Members on Parliament Hill have failed to back the Royal Canadian Mounted Police during the rail blockages.

This was a clear signal to the hooligans blocking Canada's transportation corridors that it was okay to thumb their noses at law and order as they set fire to rail ties.

Our pm avoided doing what he was elected to do by pretending he was doing something important in backwoods Africa ..

This is a clear signal to the militant rabble that they can do anything they wish.

It is not hard to imagine this situation as something that might have occurred in 1930s Germany where the voters, having grown tired of wishy-washy leadership, saw nothing wrong in eventually electing a leader who looked like he could lead.

Virus Plus:

The Covid 19 scene is by no means all negative. Those little agents of evolution give the news media something other than global warming and climate change to talk about when there is no news.

For instance, we haven't seen or heard anything from that snarly kid from Sweden in over a couple of weeks now.

Instead of apocalyptic climate change rumblings from the propaganda arm of the UN, now we get dry numerical data from their health guru. 

While so far, it's hardly blood-curdling news, it's statistical in nature and nowhere near as whiney.

So far, we haven't seen any comparisons of global fatalities due to the corona virus with highway crashes, drug ODs, cancer deaths, starvation, floods and stormy weather.

Probably too much like work for media types..

Homogenized Society:

Karl Marx figured a homogenized society would be the perfect world for everyone. That's when everybody gets to enjoy equal benefits and security and no one has more than anyone else.

That's what Andrea Horwath is promoting in Ontario, Justin Trudeau and Gerald Butts in Canada. For them, it's the post-national world.

For some, this is already a reality. When you view all those protesters on the highways, the railways, on street corners and in front of parliament buildings, it becomes obvious that there is a sub-culture that can afford to stand there and shout obscenities instead of going to work to pay utilities and taxes.

Who is feeding these hooligans? How can they afford to stand there and do that?

How long will the working folk paying for this free lunch continue before giving up and joining the freeloaders?

How long can an economy continue this before it runs out of taxpayers?

And when that happens, who will be around to pay for that free lunch?. 

Wilful Ignorance?

Just when political intervention in the transportation corridors shut down is warranted, our PM is out doing the heroics in Backwoods Africa. 

Clever move. There will be no necessity for anyone to explain why nothing is being done or make excuses for what was said.

Why risk offending a significant voting block of politicized rabble? It's still early in the season. Maybe we'll get a really cold day and they'll all get cold and go home.

Modern Inquisition:

That Impeachment of US President Donald Trump media event is the perfect example of how the social consciousness in the western world has deteriorated back to 15th Century standards. 

Just think what Torquemada himself could have done with modern media hype during the Spanish Inquisition.

The really scary part? These Democratic party inquisitors are going to select someone to oppose Trump in the fall. 

Now, that's really scary.

Teaching Unimportant?

There were hordes of strikers milling about on the sides of Upper Middle Road this AM. They were teachers out there to remind motorists that they were again striking for more wages and less work.

It might be assumed they have little concern the time they waste milling around like stray sheep makes a difference in what their students learn this year. 

And if that's the case, then it might be correct to assume that their presence in the classroom is somewhat overrated.

And if that's the case, it might be correct to assume that there's a good chance they are already being overpaid.

And if that's the case, maybe it is time to evaluate what their classroom presence actually means in this new age of volatile information exchange.

And if that's the case, how long before they are replaced by far more dependable and reliable robotics?

Those electronics whiz kids are probably perfecting mechanized union leaders right at this very moment. 

Such mechanoids would probably prove no more responsive to reality than the people they replace.
