Without Extremes

Following the US Supreme Court nomination proceedings requires a certain suspension of logic and reality. In fact today’s politics in general require one to question the sanity of everyone involved.

Currently we have a self-confessed sex offender thinking he has some sort of relevant credibility to defend his supreme court nominee who has been accused of sexual assault. What is unfortunate is that the office of the president gives this sex offender the power of influence. What is even more mind boggling is that his position of power continues to be supported by certain media and a significant portion of the US population despite his open confession and documented crimes.

I’m not sure what is in store for the sane world when people will blindly support a principle that is being championed by someone without principles. We should be demanding deeds, not promises. We should be seeing things for how they are, not for how we want to see them.

“I hate all politics. I don’t like either political party. One should not belong to them - one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.” - Ray Bradbury (1920 - 2012)
