Holding the Fort


Land of the free?
Home of the brave?

Well, we'll just see about that. But, frankly, I should not like to find out. The deterring power of the common law got to me earlier in a common sensical manner.

After seeing Chelsea Clinton's annoying comments about the country and the Donald the other day, I've been itching to make a comment on Twitter. I did so today; on her page. I made a disparaging remark of civil nature along the lines of con artistry after declaring that she was reprehensible.

Now, like many others, I've considered her off limits despite her family notoriety. But these were very public and seditious remarks. I let her have it. Balancing act.

After a while... did I libel her? Public person? Borderline and who needs the trouble. Not paranoia but felt my neck tighten and a surge go down my spine to the joints of my appendages. Trouble. I deleted the comment and blocked her. Not interested in any boring polemics with nobodies like her. 

Otherwise, Memorial Day passes peacefully.


Had a thought for my cousin Kenneth, KIA Vietnam in 1968. Getting late now. A story to tell some other time. These are his decorations.
