"...faerie dust"

Some now suspect that certain "Faerie Tales" may be based on stories 5000+ years old. As "Ring Around the Rosy" is traced to near 800 years ago during the Black Death.

Some version of Superman, and the mix of industrial era popular heroes may survive into the 40th century. How could they not. Invincible saviors.

In the West history is generally taught as the rise, and fall of cultures. In school we learned of them as separate civilizations with little or no connections. Some suggest a more wholistic view of the human story.

Starting during the last Ice Age there began one continuous human culture. Different varieties within it the rose evolved faded. Adding their stories to the ongoing enterprise. The current space faring post industrial digital information era is directly connected to the Bronze Age, and back, and back, and back. Perhaps to them folks figuring what flint can do.

One learning one remembering from the Ice to now.

20,000+ years, and still in business.

"D 646 Latouche Treville"

"I just loves this shit!"

I should have gave that radio career a miss.

That, and joined the fucking Navy.

"...story"

The Astro Boy Twins above.

Yeah two of them.

This with their Aunt Barbie.

I still have these guys sleeping in a box somewhere.

I may dig through my stuff for them.

Those few boxes that hold the story of my life.

"WHY?!"

"Why Haven't The Space Aliens

Taken Over Yet?!!!"

COM'ON GUYS HOW MUCH WORSE

DOES IT HAVE TO GET DOWN HERE?!!!

"I'm Voting for this Guy"

Chester Mary Ellen Bumstead.

Comrade Chester here just announced he's tossing his tiara

into the ring to be Emperor of the Earth.

Which is, and for a short time further

The President of the United States of America.

His two point program for peace, and prosperity

is the soul of wit, and brevity.

Sez Chester, "...First. Everybody stop fucking everybody else the fuck over. This will solve all war want oppressions, and stupidities.

Second.

"After that we bring in the Golden Age."

"Forever."

"Any questions?"

Yep Vote Chester a Multi-gendered sweet soul for our times.

He also suggests that nude swimming at Boy Scout jamborees be at once re-instated. No reason,...Chester just thinks it better that way. Ya know like them old time Greek folks did.

He's got my Vote!

"~\Days go by/~"

If I were 14 or 15 again. Shit would be slightly different. I'd be braver. Nearly 70 years in this blood splattered madhouse has taught me ironically,...there's nothing to be afraid of.

Even the fucking Pope said, "...do not be afraid."

Makes sense in an Ort Cloud sort of way.

In other words regards bullies Nazis assorted buttholes, and that guy that really pisses you off,...fuck'em.

If I were once more like the sweeties above I'd start work on the Queer Anarcho Free Lunch, and Tuition Revolution both earlier, and with far more passion.

Comrades it's your life nobody else's. So love, and be Loved.

Fuck ya brains out,...with precautions.

All that, and have a Fucking Ball.

Also don't forget to Vote.

These thing not only matter, but have serious consequences.

"Who Knew?!"

"Old Post...a year ago?"

"Taking the Jews with them"

I was wandering around my files.

I stumbled over some shots I took in the Newsroom of the station I wasted my life at. Me, and my old pal Tom. He was the military affairs research editor @ the place. We're seen here playing.

Yeah model makers do play with the product.

I never grew up neither did he. We were well met.

Here we're re-enacting an actual incident.

Vichy French Dewotine Fighters, and transports

stationed in Syria made a break from their Nazi captors.

Them gaudy yellow red stripes were put there by them Nazis.

This to identify them as neutral. Which Vichy was.

The Vichy were very happy to turn Jews over to Nazis,...went out of their way to do so. As did all of the occupied countries.

Point is these Vichy pilots refused to turn over the names of Jews in their squadron. So they took off for British Egypt.

Taking the Jews with them.

They ran into Nazi Bf-109's over the Med. Two Vichy planes were shot down, but six confirmed Nazi fucks bit the fucking dust.

Twelve Vichy planes made it out.

They became Free French after landing.

Tom, and I re-enacted this in the hallways, and newsroom to the befuddlement of the rest of the staff.

"Our Republic"

Two comments from another page I go to.
One about the report that sez voter turn out will be at a 100 year high,...near 70%. The other about the violence that may happen no matter which side wins the 2020 election.

The polls cannot be believed. They should not have been by the republicans in 2012, and the dems shouldn't believe them in 2020. Both said each would be a shoe-in. Not. So vote as if your life home, and family depended on it. The other side will most certainly be doing this.

So yeah I buy a vast turn-out. It will be close no matter what they say. However remember no matter which side wins. The country will still be hatefully divided. Half the population will feel as if they're in a country occupied by they're most hated enemy.

If the republicans win,...likely by Electoral College again. There 'may' be rage possibly violent...esp. if by the College,...again. If the Dems win the red caps 'will' be violent. #45 has stoked this for four years. Lives will be lost. Where we go from there depends on what the winners do to re-unite us.
Given the deep hatreds I do not believe the republicans will even consider such a thing.
It looks at best dicey for the survival of the Republic as we knew it.

*(A comment was made that if there is violence Antifa...the anarchist anti-fascist militia will fight #45's Confederate, and Nazi terrorists.)

We've already normalized the idea that each side has an army.
The Proud Boys for #45, and Antifa for the left. I want neither. Because both are a danger to the Republic. They're existence sez so much about where we are now. These are literally Vigilantes. This country has a bloody history with such groups.

That we may favor one or the other changes nothing. It just codifies our hatreds. We need to think such things through. Groups like these just don't go away.
They metastasize into profoundly evil things.

Such are the times we live in.
