At The End Of The Day We Are Primates: "Monkey See, Monkey Do"

Dear F,

"They" LOVE Trump's talk about "total destruction."

Remember: one out of every two people has double digit intelligence.

And although human-behavior-and-goodness are not totally dependent on "smarts," you've got to have a significant measure of intelligence to see that "what goes around comes around" - just as it did in Vietnam.

NPR: Ken Burns And Lynn Novick Discuss "The Vietnam War"

In that ill-begotten war, "The Best And The Brightest" knew the "conflict" was a total loss but, politically, there was nothing worse than losing.

And so 58,000 American lives were lost.

And 3,000,000 Vietnamese.

And we'll never know how many children and infants were slowly burned-to-death by napalm.

Would America Care If Trump Nuked North Korea? 

Stanford-Dartmouth Research Says No

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2017/08/would-america-care-if-trump-nuked-north.html

If you had opportunity to publicly humiliate Trump would you take it?

And just how far would you go if you KNEW that "whatever you did" to Trump, you would NEVER be found out?

As for Melania...

Who knows?

Stockholm Syndrome is real. And her background is "a poor girl who grew up under communism," conditioned to central-state-head-honcho control.

And now, out of the blue, she's got "the sugar daddy of all sugar daddies."

We are all stuck where we are stuck.

Speaking of candy, suck on this a while...

Nor am I exempt.

Sometimes I am suddenly terrified at  the violent impulses I feel - impulses that "rage in an instant"... then from the vantage of "the next minute," or "the next hour" or "the next day" these same impulses impress me as laughable absurdities.

There but for the grace of God.

PS You're damn right people will blame/berate Mueller if he indicts The Deplorable One. To the extent that s-Trump-ets are, in fact, deplorable, they cannot risk contemplation of their own deplorability. 

As for not caring "what Trump did with Putin," dyed-in-the-wool Trumpistas laud both men's "manliness." They honor them like the Philippines' Duterte cult: "Just kill every n'er-do-well (read "stand your ground" and "shoot on suspicion") and the world will be purged of evil so that "I" -- and all the other exceptional people in my tribe -- can live godly lives in domestic tranquility forevermore.

Best Pax Posts On Psychological Projection And "The Shadow"

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2015/02/best-pax-posts-on-psychological.html

More than anything else, people want "salvation assurance." 

And they want it "on the cheap."

Blessedly, there are also people in this world like David Stoltze who would not hesitate to give mouth-to-mouth rescusitation to a maggot-roiling stumblebum even though David is as agnostic as they come and, were it not for his intellectually-rigorous need to "leave the door open to the inscrutable possibility of a deity," David would be an atheist. 

"Good Christians" on the other hand...

Apparently "it's" approval numbers have gone up. WHY?

Don't people, who perhaps really liked his working with Dems, realize that will go away tomorrow?

 Do they like it's tough man 'rocket man' attitude?

 What brought some back to the trough?

As Mueller gets closer "it" gets more popular. I believe people do not care what "it" did with Russia or why. Money, influence,branding,loans doesn't matter. I'll bet they'll be pissed if something indictable  is found and will blame and berate Mueller.

Melania's speech to the U.N.yesterday was either her way of getting her true feelings out about it or she is totally unaware of the irony in her condemnation of cyber bullying and treating people with respect as you want to be treated. 

I truly don't know which.

Dear F,

I encourage you to listen to NPR's 1A. (It even has a VERY user-friendly archive so you can listen anytime.) http://the1a.org/

It's a good, non-repetitive news show with great guests debating issues from both sides of the aisle.
