Uncle Stan is a very witty guy with a dry sense of humor, but he makes observations that are right on the mark. I really value his perspective and have recently received permission to share his missives (or parts of them, anyway) with friends. I thought this was worth sharing with y'all:
From Friday in TN:
I have a very open
agenda today. I plan to get (granddaughter) from school and go to the (gym). Beyond
that I may just stare at a wall or the TV. The TV depresses me,
however, especially the news. News reporting seems to focus on
two themes. One is the inhumanity of humanity towards each other, from
local shootings to national wars. That makes a case for the truth that no
life form one earth is so irrational as that life form that
possesses the highest rational powers. I wish that were a
paradox, but I fear it is a true contradiction. The other theme is
the policies and perspectives on governing from our President
and Congress. They tell me I am incompetent, stupid, weak,
dependent, and impotent. Therefore, I need them to bail me out, to entitle
me, to give to me what others have earned or take from me what I have
earned and give to others. Nothing on the news makes sense in the
long run. But, who keeps the end in mind? Perhaps the answer to all this
is to buy a bigger and more comfortable chair for watching TV, a larger
TV, and a beer cooler next to my chair and keep it fully stocked daily. Is
that not the end of government kept morons? I may live that way, just as
soon as B. H. Obama makes it legal for me to buy beer with my food
stamps! :))
No, he's not really on food stamps ... there's that wit and dry sense of humor.
