Random Notes

Politics, the machinations of which politicians got which powers, and not economics, the material well-being of the citizenry, were once again the order of the day. - Dylan Stevenson

That statement right there pretty much sums up the guiding principles and basic conflict of how the world operates.

The quote is from a post Dylan Stevenson wrote about 19th Century France which is kind of interesting because I basically wasn't aware of anything going on in France during the 19th Century. There was Napoleon about 1800, and then a hundred years later we had WW1. In between was just a big blank.

Meanwhile back on the ranch, people in Shasta County, California are rebelling against the COVID-19 lockdown. Good for them! Once again political bullshit versus food on the table.

  1. Might makes right. Majority rules. Exactly what the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to prevent. I feel sorry for the minority who suffer because they were forced to go along.
