The Answers Are Blowing In The Wind

 

It looks, after the first presidential debate, as if the answers to the questions that are put to Donald Trump are blowing in the wind, but not coming from the candidate. How could the Republican Party have nominated this man to run for president?

Writing That Transcends Time And Space

Bagheera to Mowgli:

In the cage my life began; 

Well I know the worth of Man.

By the Broken Lock that freed-

Man-cub, 'ware the Man-cub's breed!

Scenting-dew or starlight pale,

Choose no tangled tree-cat trail,

Pack or council, hunt or den,

Cry no truce with Jackal-Men.

Feed the silence when they say,

"Come with us an easy way."

Feed them silence when they seek

Help of thine to hurt the weak.

Make no bandar's boast of skill;

Hold they peace above the kill

Let not call nor song nor sign

Turn thee from thy hunting-line.

(Morning mist or twilight clear,

Serve him, Wardens of the Deer!)

Wood and Water, Wind and Tree,

Jungle-Favour go with thee!

All the Mowgli Stories; Rudyard Kipling

Another Conflict For Laura Johnson McNish

Does everyone in Marshall County, Kansas think that Laura Johnson-McNish, the county attorney, truly represents Marshall County? In light of the Grain Belt Express, to which quite a few Marshall County residents objected, here is some data that was never offered: click on this link to see a picture of someone rather closely connected to Johnson-McNish. Scroll down the page and look at the pictures of the board of directors. You will see a picture of someone possessing a strong familial connection to Johnson-McNish. With a family member serving on the board of directors of the Energy Bar, will Johnson-McNish still truly represent Marshall County if she finds herself at cross purposes with the intentions of the Energy Bar? As we know already, Johnson-McNish is owned by the Republican Party in Kansas. We can expect the Koch Brothers and their ilk to control all of her decisions.

I know, I know. He represents Texas, not Kansas. It's just that his statement is so typical of Republican rhetoric. It never ceases to amaze me that people actually accept this type of reasoning, and the unfortunate accompanying voting record, from their elected representatives. As long as we have folks like Joe Barton in office, wind will not be a "finite resource" and it will never slow down!
