Sometimes, Everyone Is A Victim and Everyone Is At Fault
Yesterday saw the politicization of what is the most tragic small story I have encountered in a long time. Families often carry a lot of tragedy, but rarely does that tragedy extend all the way to parricide. Parricide accounts for only about two percent of all homicides and homicide, while way too common, is still something most people live their entire lives without encountering on a personal level. Parricide involving a public figure is virtually unheard of – but there it was yesterday. What kind of world do we live in that it turned, almost immediately, into a political spitball fight?

The World I Thought I Would Never See
I am a “boomer” – born post-war but with memories fresh, and just as the Civil Rights Movement was beginning to take shape. I was born to a world that was determined to eliminate prejudice. Having witnessed the atrocities of Hitler’s Germany, the Civil Rights Movement arose and gained ground precisely to make sure nothing of the sort could happen ever again. Race, creed, religion, or gender were not a basis for determining if person was good or bad. We were told this over and over and over again. You did not bear animus for groups of people, however they were grouped; you reserved your animus for those that “earned” it – individually. Sure, in “lesser” parts of the world such prejudice still existed, but for us in the west, we were determined to make such prejudice disappear. We have failed.

The Lessons We Need To Learn
Lesson 1: Be careful with your bragging. First the host’s beloved, as he tells us constantly, Ohio State loses the Big Ten football championship (something he barely mentioned this past week) to former Big Ten doormat Indiana University (a name never mentioned in the week past) and now Indiana’s quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, wins the Heisman Trophy over Ohio State’s Julian Sayin. Bragging just makes the eventual humiliation that much more humiliating. Sadly, now we must turn our attention to far more consequential, and unfortunately deadly, news and lessons.

Hyperbolic Clickbait
I get it all the time – usually about sports – a prompt, notification or alert about a story so astonishing that you just have to click. And when you get there, the claims that lead you there are quite hyperbolic if not outright lies. The internet and its primary expression, social media, are rendering shorter and shorter attention spans, making it harder and harder to attract attention and attracting attention is how you make money there. It is therefore natural, especially when soulless and ethically devoid AI is writing the material, that hyperbole to the point of lying would become increasingly common. But it is also highly unfortunate.

Science Is Dead, Long Live Politics
In 2020 I noted “The Sad Death of A Once Great Magazine” as Scientific American did what no self-respecting science magazine should do – endorse a presidential candidate. I concluded “Specialty journalism is officially dead – consumed by politics.” Covid was, of course, involved in the discussion at the time wherein everyone hid behind “the science” and no one had or knew any actual science. No longer is it merely specialty journalism that is consumed by politics, it is science itself.

Democrats Cannot Govern
Billions of dollars taken by fraud during covid in California. A similar situation in Minnesota flowing from covid. Both states run by Democrats. I do not think these Democrats are corrupt, but they are inept. Quoting Carl Sagan, billions and billions of dollars of inept. Simply put, they cannot govern.

Why We Need Christmas
The world is full of various expressions of the depravity that can be the human soul. This kind of hatred is disgusting and history has shown us where it leads. Human trafficking, especially with children, is a human evil I hate to contemplate. But having just read this story about the open air drug market in Philadelphia, I cannot help but wonder if I have found rock bottom. It tells a tale of a unique kind of human trafficking, not where people are bought and sold, but where they are indeed held as slaves without even the minimal housing and sustenance accorded to slaves that provide labor of some sort.

Our Weird Politics
Politics, particularly for a nation as wealthy and well-situated as ours, is often more about opinion and personality than it is about capability and good, better, best. When a nation struggles it needs people that do the job well, when times are basically good, things get silly. It is not unlike picking the teams for the college football playoffs where there are a lot of teams arguably better than the ones that got in. Things other than football ability are involved. But there is one indisputable fact about the CFP – Indiana University beat Ohio State for the Big Ten Championship, earning the number one seed in the tournament along with the conference championship – much to the host’s chagrin. But back to our politics of government, not football. Three recent stories tell an interesting tale.
