| The look of lunacy |
Society has gone insane, every sort of aberration, abomination, perversion, eccentricity, or insanity, has now gone mainstream and is accepted by pop culture. It would take far too long to list every bit of craziness found in the recent news; therefore, I have listed a few stellar examples.
For our first example, a heroin addicted Columbia university professor has declared that drug usage should be a legalized human right. We must assume the man knows what he's talking about, he teaches at one of the most prestigious universities in world. Perhaps this stunt is intended to boost sales of his book, or perhaps he really believes his own craziness. It's easy to imagine the catastrophic results if the government was to suddenly legalize hardcore drug use, there would be an epidemic of addiction, overdoses, suicides, and different forms mental illness resulting from extended drug use. Perhaps the university should reconsider the quality of the professors it hires, and search for faculty that would not poison the students.
In another bit of news from New York City, a teacher preparing to retire was fired for refusing to give the "Black Panther" salute to the school superintendent. The teacher, a Dominican-American who identifies as Afro-Latina, was one year away from retirement, and is now suing the school board for unlawful termination. Apparently, the school board adopted the salute from the Disney/Marvel film "Black Panther" in which the actors give the salute and shout "Wakanda Forever!". The teacher was admonished multiple times for not using this particular salute. I wonder if other forms of salute will become mandatory in the public school system, perhaps the straight hand Nazi salute, or the Roman salute in which soldiers and gladiators would bang their fist against their breastplate. The lawsuit also claims the teacher was informed she was "not black enough" and to "sit quiet and look pretty". Well, well.... if anyone except a black person had made such comments, the offender would be beaten to death by an angry mob, while liberal politicians and journalists would declare the violence to be a cathartic act of societal cleansing. The fired teacher is suing the school system for $40Million, and I hope she wins.
I was going to avoid politics, but President Joe Biden deserves a bit of help. He simply can not do enough to appease the fanatical Socialist/Progressive Left of the Democrat Party that keeps hounding him to take ever more extreme positions on everything from the minimum wage to the deportation of illegal immigrants. The ACLU has declared the Biden administration's guidance on deportations a "step backwards". Self-proclaimed Communist Bernie Sanders, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, is assuring people that a national $15 per hour minimum wage will become a reality. Biden, with whatever wisdom remains to him, has rejected to idea of raising the minimum wage in such a dramatic fashion, declaring it would be harmful to businesses, the economy, and the labor market.
In order to avoid to great a fight within the ranks of the Democrat Party, Biden could realistically place the blame for all these problems on Donald Trump. Why not? The man was hounded for four years, with every sort of specious accusation being hurled against him. Journalists would happily oblige by digging up nonexistent dirt given to them by confidential sources, claiming Trump has been masterminding everything by his use of social media; regardless if it is an impossibility. The voters will believe it, and that's all that matters to the Democrat Party.
Thank you for reading my post.
