QUESTIONS, ANYONE?
Marija Gimbutas is an archaeologist who expresses controversial views. Controversy seems to originate from views of past cultures that aren’t embedded in patriarchy, or one may say yang. In the following LA Times story about her, you will find many said criticisms. Many women, however, could be interested to consider that women throughout history were vital members of society. That aggression and violence have often defined “the winners”, one shouldn’t be surprised that history is written by said “winners”.
DEFINE WEIRD
It’s like oligarchs bear no responsibility in a society called open, where the 1% can “pocket $1.1 billion” and then express disdain for the “closed society” of other nations.
USA DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
Disturbingly political for some people, anyway

UNBALANCED NATION
Patriarchal hierarchical Establishment conveniently turns to mental health as an excuse for the anomaly of gun violence in the USA without explaining the reason the suggested presumption thereby, that young men are mentally unhealthy but young women enjoy superior mental health. This isn’t the case, but patriarchy doesn’t benefit from speaking to the obvious.
FREEDOM AND SAFETY
If one may use artistic license, it seems to be an especially Trumpian-style of hubris in the phrase “it takes a good man with a gun to stop a bad man with a gun”. First we need to recognize the “good man”. Would that be one who attracts admiration by denigrating women and talking about grabbing them? Next one must accept the premise that “good men with guns” aren’t as frightened of “bad men with guns” as may be, for example, 10-year-old girls.
GOOD MAN WITH A GUN
We probably could challenge the flamboyant statement heard too often of “a good man with a gun is the only thing that will stop a bad man with a gun”. Apparently not. It seems that, predictably, 50-year-old men are as frightened of a bad man with a gun, as are 10-year-old girls. I surely would be.
INSTITUTIONALIZED HUMANITY
On 5/26/2022 and aired on The PBS NewsHour was an interview about the shooting in Texas, between a PBS host and a mental health “professional”. The question from the host related to a query as to the reason that predominantly the shooters are young males. The professional answered in typical psycho babble but without touching on an answer to the question.
STRENGTH OF LOCAL COMMUNITY
We could recognize the strength and integrity of local communities. This is the reality that must be challenged by hierarchy in order for hierarchical Establishment to mount supremacy and promote their own interests.
DEFINE LIBERTY
Ongoing emails from an organization that says it is working for voting rights calls into question the anomaly of reasoning that voters must approach big-money interests and commercial interests in order to secure the voting rights that seem fundamental to our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic. This begs the question as to whether said voting-rights organizations are simply ignorant on the topic of civil rights, or are they a front group for fascism.
GOOD LAW ENFORCEMENT
FACTually speaking, the USA could be viewed as dangerously militaristic and aggressive by some people.
LAUNDRY NATION
Capitalism on a continuum feels too similar to organized crime. This raises ideas of money laundering. We could stand a discussion of the reason this is not the FACT.
LOUD VOICES OF HIERARCHY
The capitalistic hierarchical Establishment political sound bite that “we must protect American interests overseas and spread democracy around the world”, could be taken seriously if the US-citizen interests were first protected at home, and if Americans enjoyed democratic liberty. In FACT, US foreign policy feels to be protection of oligarch interests around the globe with disregard to global local communities. Imperialism seems to be a fascist proclivity. We The People are left in the dust.
IMAGINE REALITY
C-Span hosts public discussion about recent events. One such topic was a mass shooting in Buffalo, NY that has been called by authorities as racially motivated. The presumed perpetrator seems to have lived in the Southern Tier of NYS.
MIDDLEMEN AND HEALTH
You would be informed by listening to the following hearing on health care. One notes the typically precious comments from who seems to be a snarky Graham, as he asks who in the health care system produces the tomatoes. If you listen to this hearing, it will make sense.
THE MORE YOU KNOW
Mothers Day seems dissimilar from Mothers’ Day. How did Mothers’ Day as a strong voice from women against militarism, become Mothers Day, the retailers dream?
