WRONSKI WRANGLES

I'm still trying to figure how come the political divide in this the US of A of ours is so polarized into such entrenched solidly pure White and solidly pure Black. With either side being right. And, either side quite certain the other is wrong. Herewith and so on and so forth is a classic Wronski's Wrambling Wranting Wrangle for those loyal readers who have come to appreciate taking the literary scenic route to conclusions and informational accumulations that are guaranteed to be enlightening. Or, so this writer believes will be the effect. Read and be once again delighted; that is, if you are one of the fans. For the newbies, read on and see! What's it gonna cost you, a few minutes out your day? Back to the political divide ...  Choose your side. Of course, my choice is the right one. On account that I prefer to believe myself to be right. Self reflection? Not necessary when you’re right. Not just for me, but for any right thinking Human being. The way of the world. I pre...

Looking at the news of the day — Oh, Boy! — it should be obvious that we're not all on the same page. Same as it ever was. And, as the world turns, same as it ever will be. Perhaps.  Whatever ... let's be realistic, plan for a miracle. Not on the same page, and we're not on the same level either. This can beg the question what is the correct level? I'm betting the first thing what comes to mind when sorting out "levels" is the notion that there is a hierarchy of values, on a scale of good and bad.  Seems like relative value is baked into the term.  I'm not going there. Too many arguments over good and bad from folks operating at differing levels. Many, maybe most, not even aware that their position(s) are founded on conditioning, and it drives their lives and preferences. Sub rosa, under the radar of awareness. But, not you or me; those others. You know what I'm talking about.  Mostly I think we're thrown to look at the comparison on level as if it...

  It seems from the news reporting that we are rushing headlong into the world of artificial intelligence. AI. Like kids with a new toy. Playing in the street. Parents admonishing us to be careful. Who said, "How ya' gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree"? Kids can sometimes end run the Old Folks and sneak out the bedroom window. Shit happens. Guardrails and guidelines we'll have. Plenty. Endless potential for argument and discussion right there. Maybe we'll use AI itself to come up with the rules?  Even with the best of intentions, some malevolent asshole will find a way around. Even, a well-intentioned one too. Oh, you say, what's the difference? Since Adam and Eve decided back there in the Garden that they could do it themselves, study your history. Blind leading the blind. Mishap upon mishap. Oh, we have progress. Smartphones are a thing now. Hot water on tap is great. Like we're becoming so strapped to our devices, imagine h...

First, the rules that apply. The universal one. A big one: Gravity. We all generally know about how the force of Gravity keeps your feet on the ground. Downward pull ... grounding. Let go, and it falls down. That’s called “centripetal”. There’s also the opposite and equal force. “Centrifugal”. Upward ... lifting. That latter one, the upward movement, that one we don’t really appreciate in an every day, directly experienced way. Here’s something you might not know. When your body is aligned in its makeup in respect to the demands of Gravity that upward movement is an empowering, healing agent. You feel it. It’s a lived experience. It’s alway there, just now to pay attention. Big thing to know: There’s always an up and a down. An upside, and a downside. Then there’s bombs. What does Gravity have to do with bombs? Bombs go BOOM. Also, they go down. No surprise there. Is there an upside? What goes up from bombs? Nothing good. Reading the news should fill you in on the details. Same for ro...

Dear reader: If you have any additional ideas, or if you have some other point of view ... please, comments are welcome.   Some things for the two candidates to chew on leading up to the upcoming debate. [BTW there are other candidates, but they don't get to debate.] For President Trump: Okay, Mr. President, we know you have your way. Ways. The nation is in a love/hate relation with you on that. All that. Let's see you turn a page. Stay focused. Don't swat like a pussy at every feather flutter on a string at the end of a stick. Or, have to fill every rabbit hole with words. An old dog like me knows how to tell if you're lying: those lips are moving. Think about that. Maybe dial back the superlatives too. It's a joke now. HUGE ... joke. And, we give you this ... nobody does it better. Verbum Sap Sat! While we're mentioning particulars, maybe dial down the scattin' and jivin' off-script riffs. Some love it, but there are those who heretofor don't. Go f...

  I've been reading into the history and keeping up with the news since the unfolding events from October 7, 2023 which have brought the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to dead center world stage. Deadly center. For shizzle ... end times, apocalyptic potential.* Here's my short historical analysis ... and prognosis. Since it's founding in 1948 the State of Israel has been in a conflict relationship with the peoples displaced by its geographic founding. The Palestinians. And, being there also with the animosity of most of the Middle Eastern Arab world.  Western interests support the State of Israel out of their own hegemonic self-interest(s) in the region. Let's not even open that can of worms with the influence of the so-called Israel lobby over our government officials. Much less, how that support is garnered.  Bad behavior on both sides. All sides.  Old Testament vs. Third World. The Chosen Ones vs. the Amalek. C'mon, the Book of Samuel clearly states that God had co...
