On July 29, 2022, John and Laurie agreed on the following topic, so it’s coming up for discussion this weekend:
Laurie
Hi John - Ray wants 2 or more readers to agree on an actual "specific title" for an upcoming article. About 4 hours ago (see my latest comment) l proposed "PRACTICAL SURVIVAL STRATEGIES OVER the NEXT 5 YEARS? 10 YEARS? IN YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY ". Please let Ray know if you're agreeable. If not, l am more than happy to go with your article title of HOW DO WE BRING AN END TO THIS SELF-PROPELLED MADNESS? Thanks!

Excellent idea Ray! I propose the topic.. HOW DO WE BRING ABOUT AN END TO THIS SELF-PROPELLED MADNESS?
Definitely agree with Simple Bare Necessities (below)....
I have been reading here everyday but haven't had anything pertinent to say (especially after seeing idiot Brandon's speech last week with the dark red backdrop....l still get ill when l think about it. I am ashamed that psycho & his handlers are politically representing the U.S.A.).
I don't want to be negative but l think the simple response to Ray's weekend topic is:
***WE CAN'T END THE MADNESS***
I remain somewhat optimistic that a small "remnant" of unjabbed human-beings will be scattered around the world in 100 years or so. But their bodies will sadly be terribly polluted with various enviornmental toxins. I pray that the fertility of men & women will be able to endure & continue to support the propagation of our species.
Of course this topic is terribly multi-layered (economics, politics, education, energy, medicine, geoengineering, etc, etc).
Imho, we are looking at a very dystopian future. I predict a societal breakdown with the scenario never returning to the "good ole' days". I sure hope it doesn't disintegrate to a Mad Max existence for humanity but l believe it might get close to that over the next 2-3 generations. In my wildest fantasy l envision sentries of the remaining "good" humans guarding the entry portals of the "evil" global elites underground bunkers & blasting their heads off when they pop up to the surface searching for supplies!!! (Hehehe---l'm not always the nice, quiet Grandma).
I have come to accept that we must all just be the best individual we can be for whatever time we are granted here in this world. And basically, that's the way it's always been since the beginning of time. We can only be responsible for our own individual self (& our kids until they become adults....& even then that's often uncertain).
Mind you, three years ago l NEVER would have made these predictions & stated that WE CAN'T END THIS MADNESS! But three years ago l was a different person who had minimal knowledge of the things l do now!
The only way l am able to cope now is to view our world through the lens of GOOD vs EVIL. And believing our Creator is ultimately in charge. Because, again, imho, there appears to be no human intervention that can end this madness. It's been in the works for centuries (actually long before) & it's past the point of no return.
Take care of yourselves, love your friends & family, help others when you can, enjoy every smile & every twinkle in another's eye.....just hang on & enjoy what makes you happy!
Where are those talented today as great Generals? We need strategic thinking in three dimensions.
