There's just life. Now go live it.

In between, but, moving TOWARD profoundly horrific. If we allow authoritarian oligarchs to get complete control of it, we will know what "profoundly horrific" really IS!

The Mueller report COULD be one of our last chances to escape it.

In all corners of every city and town and in every nation in the entire world there are those mobsters who are vying to be masters of their neighbourhoods or countries.

The real victims are the long suffering silent majority.

In countries such as Syria and Yemen the carnage of civilians is well into the 100s of 1000s.

On a more regional locale the citizens of world cities and towns live, to a greater or lesser extent, in fear of the dominant criminal gangs who rule their districts mercilessly.

To maintain control the godfathers of terror have no hesitation in executing, for no particular reason, any number of civilians from a neighbourhood which is showing signs of dissent or opposition to their authority.

The world is a wretched place full of low life scum bags such as the criminals of the Irish Republican Army or the Mexican and Colombian drug barons and the megalomaniacs who strive ruthlessly for dominance over their fellow man.

Governments can only endeavour to achieve a degree of damage limitation.
