I Forget

What is the last thing you learned?

I’m learning all the time so it’s hard to remember what the last thing was.

There are things I thought I’d never learn though:

• That this world would go mad – again.
• That America would vote for an inexplicable President.
• That war is still a thing .
• Mysogeny still rules.
• Women can’t define what a woman is.
• Racial prejudice is alive and hasn’t been kicked out.
• The fact that there are more than two genders surprised me not at all; the fact that people who don’t know what that’s like feel that they can comment, does.
• Our Labour government apparently can’t spell. They promised to target the rich, but they think non-dom status is spelt pensioners. Tax evaders are spelt welfare recipients. It’s a great idea to target companies with higher employee National Insurance, so raising taxes is now spelt redundancy.
• That people don’t realise the irony that they think the news they believe is truth and the one they don’t believe is fake. The vice versa rule makes a mockery of that.

Apart from that and much more like it, a very large iceberg has grounded off Georgia and is about to trash the eco system. All that sea and it managed to bump into something that small. Mind you it had been trapped going round in circles for years, which might explain it.

Much like humanity really, 1914, few spins, 1939, few spins, let’s start another war. I mean seriously?

I’m off to study how long it takes a dung beetle to walk a mile. It’s got to be more rewarding.

Peace and love
