Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

American culture now needs its own satirist -like the Roman poet Juvenal
The Anti-Fa Left is certainly clueless about the ABCs of popular democracy . Try FRIENDLY PERSUASION - politeness and civility . Critical thinking skills are disappearing in the Culture of Narcissism.
They are making President Donald Trump look like the LESSER EVIL in the 2020 presidential election.
Long before HOMO SAPIENS there were epochs of dramatic climate change . No PROTEST at all as the world turned into " Snowball Earth ".
The hubris of SCIENCE - a god that failed in the 20th century . The Supreme Being is laughing at human vanity . WE will never be masters of the universe or even of the Good Earth . Even powerful plutocrats must learn humility .
Small steps help . Catholics might return to eating fish on Friday . And living a simpler life.
Not for nothing " The Vanity of Human Wishes " is a topic of some great poets.
American culture needs its own genius- satirist like the Roman poet Juvenal at the height of the Empire.
For Gilbert Highet, “The Roman Juvenal was the greatest satiric poet who ever lived. .... His embittered satires are now written, under Trajan and Hadrian.]
