It's a Government Conspiracy
Author: BobR    Date: 06/01/2016 13:13:54

I've written before about paranoid conspiracy theories. It seems like those who feel powerless to affect changes in their life that they don't like want to blame them on some shadowy group whose intentions are nefarious. Thus, those who see the assumed supremacy of the white male in society dissolving into a pool of equal rights and liberal social mores are inclined to believe their lifestyle is under attack by "them". It turns out that "they" can be any number of things, but are probably black or brown, possibly female, either Muslim or LGBT, and looking to take their guns away.

Honor: A Memorial
Author: Raine    Date: 05/30/2016 15:51:21

Every Memorial Day for the past few decades, a thing called Rolling Thunder comes to DC.

I was going to write about the GOP nominee's appearance at the rally. Then I stumbled across this article.

All is forgiven?

Good Morning.

Prince has been dead a month, and I haven't written about it in a number of weeks now.

The day after he passed, I received an unsolicited text containing a few keywords that I won't share, but I recognized who it was from.

I mulled it over for about an hour, then I replied back, "Is it thee?" and the sender replied in the affirmative.

A Hate Campaign
Author: BobR    Date: 05/25/2016 14:49:33

The motto of Atlanta, GA is "the city too busy to hate". While that may not always play out in practice, at least they are making an effort to identify a problem and work towards changing it. America has never been a country too busy to hate, although we've made steps over the decades in the right general direction. Certain types of institutional bigotry have been tamped down (made illegal in some cases), although never eliminated.

One of the horrifying aspects of the T-Rump candidacy is how his blatant pandering to the xenophobes, homophobes, and assorted bigots has riled up and - in their minds - legitimized their poisoned point of view. We've seen it bubbling up at T-Rump rallies, with minorities being assaulted by rally attendees. It seems that in general life, the haters are feeling emboldened to let their freak flag fly.

Good Morning.

It's been a couple of weeks since I started this "Monday Night Writing" experiment. I certainly feel far less rushed trying to bash together something meaningful, and it certainly seems like I can devote a few more words than just a framework around the stories I've pulled. What say you all?
