I've Lost Track!
It’s all too confusing for
my feeble brain.
Where does all this secret
surveillance start and stop? First I
thought it was aimed at the AP and a Fox reporter. Then they talked about overseas phone calls. And then it was domestic calls, especially
using Verizon. And then it was all forms
of electronic communication between American and others. I’m lost.
Except now that leaders of both parties plus the administration say it
is necessary and everything is OK – I’m suspicious.
But that’s not all. Obamacare is on the way. I’ve been trying to figure out what the rules
are, who is affected, who is not affected, what it all means. Totally confusing. They say it’ll be clear soon, or at least
before it is implemented next year. Right!
And then there’s
Syria. There’s Assad’s people, supported
by Iran and Hezbollah and Russia and I guess a few others. And then there’s the rebels, supported by
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and I guess a few others.
Except the rebels are many groups, including those we would call bad
guys because they’re Al Qaeda-like. Who
do we support? And if we knew, how would
we support them? It is an out-of-control
scenario from hell.
In a larger context it’s
about Sunni vs. Shi’a. Just a small problem
that is about 1,500 years in the making.
Good luck with controlling or influencing that one.
Iraqis are blowing each other
up in increasing numbers. Egypt is
floundering. The Turks have taken to the
streets. Iran has an election soon with
hard liners vs harder liners. The
Afghans are on the receiving end of a renewed Taliban offensive. Europe is in the economic toilet. Etc., etc., etc.
Like I say – I’ve lost
track.
