Dictators
« on: Tuesday, Mar 18, 2025 09:17 am »
Dictators have characteristics in common. They are power hungry; work with rubber-stamp legislatures; place self-interest above national interest; suppress opposition; ignore the law when doing so suits them; spew disinformation; have territorial ambitions – the list goes on.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I hate coveralls. Always. They're fine till you put your hands over your head, and then suddenly they're two sizes too small. Overalls and a coat for me, in all its variations.

Since my surgery, I've to get dressed, shower and do a lot of things one-handed. That's a lot like girding one's loins.  :laugh:
