CURIOUS

there is a curious mixture of sense and nonsense on the radio news that upon reflection i have concluded is a fair typification of the human condition. mixed with news of mr trump these days, in ever smaller proportion, are other news items: of cyberhacking — this time data ransom attacks around the world —  from the vatican, of miracle sightings and canonization, of trump supporters defending their man, to name a few, along with reports of saudi princesses abusing other humans compelled to serve them and chicago mayors all serving jailtime. 

wait a minute; where is the good stuff? come to think of it, it may not be much of a mixture after all. the poor well-fed well-informed well-cared for beleaguered literate middleclass citizen must be barely clinging to life these days. how terrifying.
