I Blame the Bat-Shit Crazy Ones...


Still gobsmacked. Still scratching our heads. Still wondering what's up with our fellow Human Beings. The news is all about the unvaccinated getting seriously ill and ending up in the ICU, clinging to life, or in many cases, finally succumbing to Covid-19. 

Preventable, totally unnecessary deaths. Do Human Beings really think they can disregard Nature, Biology, Ecology? Science? Common Sense?

Over here in our Progressive Blue Bubble, we wonder what's wrong with people? Who wouldn't choose to live? To protect themselves? To get vaxxed? To be healthy? 

It is the same question we have about the Climate Change Deniers. Our Ecosystem is now in the ICU. See the evidence everywhere around the Globe. Major, cataclysmic change is occurring now. Human Beings have put the Ecosystem on a trajectory for apocalyptic, planet-wide failure.

Yikes. What the Fuck is wrong with us? 

Reminds me of the time I was at hospital when I asked a Doctor what was going on with a patient. The bone-chilling, answer: "A Cascade of Failure." Once the cascade starts, a body, an ecosystem, collapses, and there is nothing to prevent the collapse.

Too late. Yes. Unnecessary. Avoidable. Who do I blame? The Bat-Shit Crazy Ones. It's seems the Bat-Shit Crazy Ones and their tin-pot authoritarian leaders make up nearly 40% of the Human Population. A distinct minority. But a loud, stupid & powerful minority. See MAGA-land.

The rest of us turn our lonely eyes to the Non-Bat-Shit Crazy Ones... and hope, beyond hope, that maybe, it's not too late. "Can you please save us?!" But of course, for many of us, it really is so stupidly too late... 

Fuck.
