What Makes Polly Tick?
“Let’s not make this political!” is the best way to ensure that the discussion will remain almost exclusively political. Polly want a cracker…? Let’s face it. Some people believe the weak and unlucky deserve, or have at least earned, their fate. You are poor or sick or dead because of what you did. Others believe weakness and ill-fortune are symptoms and temporary, not permanent causes, not inevitable cosmic justice. They are the outcome of capitalism’s relentless algorithm busily harvesting human value, unrestrained by reason or empathy.
Disclosure re Mind:

Murderous Lunacy? No, I’m okay, thanks.
When I was younger I remember understanding that murderous lunacy was mostly frowned upon, most all the time, and when it happened it was quite exceptional. Lately I’ve noticed, not only has this habit of violent abandon persisted, but seems to have actually gained in popularity. In my memory, rogue statesmen and stateswomen, cad soldiers, criminals, spies, these were known to on occasion succumb to the jingles of the murder carnival.
