A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

Whoever has an opinion of his own, and honestly expresses it, will be guilty of heresy. Heresy is what the minority believe; it is the name given by the powerful to the doctrine of the weak.

A week of slow camping as digital nomads at Cadagi Farm.

Splendid Blue Wren at Cadagi Farm

On a quiet site overlooking the Talbragar River, we were able to lick our wounds, and get those needed repairs done to Bessie, our veteran 200 series 'Cruiser. Nobody but myself to blame, as I had assumed that all was good with the (critical) diesel fuel filter, which was supposed to have b

>> None of the things you bring up would have mattered one bit if so many selfish members of the electorate hadn't chosen to not vote for the anti-fascist political party.

None of the things we wanted for national security would have happened even if the #other electorate voted for #Democrats.

They tried it in 2020, and nothing happened. Instead, #Trump is back in office, the classified docs he stole are back in Mar-a-Lago, #insurrectionists are free, and we're fighting for life

You seem to be going around in circles — castigating me for blaming the electorate, when I didn't, while you yourself blame the electorate, even though it is the #other segment.

The electorate put its faith in #Democratic leaders, who then failed to keep us safe from foreign predators even when they knew what was happening — They certainly knew more than we did.

#Biden had bipartisan support after #Jan6, but he wasted that opportunity #virtueSignaling.

Thanks for the lengthy unsolicited lecture, random stranger. I'm sure it was very informative. Unfortunately, because #every #other #word was a hashtag for some reason, it read as if it were words cut out of magazine headlines for a ransom note, and I couldn't really derive much meaning from it.

Osa, (I'm making an assumption in using that name pls forgive me if I'm wrong) you are spot on!

As long as #humanity wants an #other to blame and vilify instead of a unified view of "us" as humanity all with a common past & future we will have these nightmares.

#theother is an excuse for failure & a place to lay blame. Human #coexistence is a destination we could...SHOULD embrace.

"How" is of course historically hard but it remains a must if we are to survive.
