Competition . . .

. . . is highly overrated

(from Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of American by Kurt Andersen)

". . . When I was a little kid whenever we had to play musical chairs in school or at birthday parties, I never enjoyed it. I hated the tense seconds of waiting for each drop of the needle onto the record. Musical chairs made me anxious and made everyone manic and delivered a nasty set of lessons - life is an accelerating competition of one against all for diminishing resources, survival is just a matter of luck and a touch of brute force, and success is a momentary feeling of superiority to the losers who lose before you lose, with just one out of the ten or twenty of us a winner. . . "

. . . or just plain STUPID?

(from https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-toss-wisconsin-election-results-victor-ballot-boxes_n_62c9f69ee4b0d74019844775) 
". . . Donald Trump is now calling on the Republican speaker of the Assembly in the Wisconsin state legislature to snatch back the state’s 2020 electoral votes to declare him the winner of the presidential race he lost in the wake of a court ruling on ballot drop boxes. . . He pushed the astonishing plan a day after he baselessly declared himself the winner in the state when the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday restricted the number of absentee ballot boxes in future elections. He again insisted in his message Saturday that he is the “actual winner (by a lot!)” in the battleground state. . . "

                 Critic’s Choice

The Root . . .

. . . of so much evil . . . 

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/evil

(from Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America by Kurt Andersen)

". . . legal scholar Jeffrey Rose, nowadays president of the National Constitution Center, wrote that "we are all originalists now." He meant that everyone in the legal world acknowledged that the original  meaning of the Constitution and its amendments couldn't be ignored. But originalism became a crude and self-justifying meme that the right used, from the 1980s on, simply to serve its own interests and prejudices. Originalism's most important hidden agenda was to keep courts and judges completely out of the business of business, as if what worked for the U.S. economy for its first century, before modern corporations existed, was how things should work today. It was like the Friedman Doctrine, which turned a reasonable capitalist truism (profits are essential) into a simple-minded, unhinged, socially destructive monomania (only profits matter). . ."

(from https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/senator-graham-says-he-will-not-cooperate-with-georgia-trump-election-probe-2022-07-06/)

".. . . Senator Lindsey Graham will not comply with a subpoena issued by a grand jury in Georgia investigating former U.S. President Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, attorneys for the lawmaker said on Wednesday. . . "Senator Graham plans to go to court, challenge the subpoena, and expects to prevail," attorneys Bart Daniel and Matt Austin said in a statement made on behalf of Graham. The grand jury was selected in May to consider evidence in a probe launched after Trump was recorded in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call pressuring Georgia's secretary of state to overturn the state's election results based on his claims of voter fraud.  . . Graham's attorneys said in the statement that the senator was being called as "simply a witness" in what they called "a fishing expedition.". . ."

                         No Frills

Senses . . .

 

https://martech.health/articles/branding-through-the-five

senses-your-logo-sounds-as-good-as-it-looks

Ours is a sensory world.

So many sources abound to entice.

Still this mortal marathon’s run.

The trick’s in 

Pacing yourself.

Finishing’s more than the win.

Ears to see and eyes to hear.

Understand direction where to steer.

All the tender subtleties,

Every little nuance there.

Ears to see and eyes to hear.

Super-Sensory powers instilling fear.

Better than invisibility,

Leaping buildings,

Flying high.

Noise from all sides, all decibels,

Arresting every sensation possessed.

One step forward,

Two steps back.

How much can you take?

If doing the same thing over and over

Brings no change,

Will you do it once again?

I possess no bravery in matters

Any more than anyone else.
