Stand by for heavy rolls
Now we get to pay the
piper
Bad things are coming, or so many
think. And there is little I can do about it, other than plan for it. Even our
ancestors did much the same during their time, like graduating a Naval Academy
class early in 1941, or the Army doing much the same in 1917. Both decisions
anticipated the coming wars. Now that was planning.
The causes are obvious, to me. We presently have a lightweight federal
president who has hired similar lightweights to be in charge. We are
unilaterally disarming. We face a probable financial collapse. We have been
dumbing down our population for decades, and now get to live the consequences.
The idea of trust, faith, and
confidence comes into my mind. Call it
moral authority, too. In my idea of "heavy rolls", I have all the
aforementioned thoughts. Now I am thinking more like our ancestors, like the
need to "plan ahead" in the most primitive sense.
And it will affect me, too, mostly
adversely. And it will affect my Family, too. So be it. And while I may die,
too, I will go down fighting. I have
some dignity.
Even my golden rule instincts are
being challenged. Like if fellow people screw themselves, should I try help
them when it becomes obvious to them and their own Families where I live. Right
now I will..."as best I can". Mostly that means being warm and fed.
Even if some pandemic occurs from
hard times' causes, I will try help them , too.
Is what is coming historical in the
biblical sense? Perhaps.
Will "heavy rolls" cause a
serious dent in the human population, probably.
Do I want to revert to an older
time? Of course not! Will I deal with reality? Of course yes!
Can I get down into the weeds? Of
course yes. Two obvious examples are the 10,000 year clock in Texas (under
construction) and the seed vault in Norway.
Do I want to live in the weeds? No.
Do I want to try survive the
"heavy rolls" first? Yes.
