MORE OF EVERYTHING
The more I thought about a sequel to EVERYTHING (my previous post), the more I wondered how much more of everything a heavenly body can take. Not that our put-upon planet was ever a bed of roses (I’m old enough that you can take my word for it), but now I’d be lying like a politician if I claimed that
Yes, the world has its moments. Nonetheless, the world isn’t a very congenial place to live at this moment, and it’s a wonder that it hasn’t gone off the deep end — or at least had a nervous breakdown. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit to hear that the world is seeing a shrink and lamenting….
It would really be nice to be able to believe that….
But….

I’m pretty sure Earth can take everything we’ve got, and will still be here after we’ve faded to nothing.

Fading to nothing doesn’t worry me. It’s Big Banging to nothing (with nukes) that’s ‘Putin’ me in a restive mood. Hopefully, he’s just sane enough to be restrained by MAD (mutually assured destruction).

“Children enjoy the present because they have neither a past nor a future.” –Jean de Labruyère, 17th century French philosopher
That quote may be at odds with your comment, but the last part of your comment is foreign to me.

Very true….apropos of which I quote poet Wm. Congreve:
“Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast” —
But sadly, not enough to soothe the lust for conquest.

I wish I could say that Vlad is a paper tiger, but the fact that he’s a NUCLEAR tiger makes calling his bluff a dangerous gamble….which he knows and exploits to his advantage. Biden has chosen not to do so (call his bluff) by refusing Ukraine’s requests for a no-fly zone and NATO jets. IMO, the first refusal is prudent, but the second is shamefully acquiescent. Letting Putin dictate the terms under which we support Ukraine is resulting in thousands of Ukrainian lives being needlessly lost to long and short range missile attacks.

I think the dear planet will survive us – it has survived much worse – so we’re the ones in need of extracting our heads from the dark, cramped tunnel. And Kennedy, was he really swell? Ethel certainly was.

Kennedy’s term was of course cut short by assassination, so I judge his ‘grade’ as President to be incomplete. But few Presidents had his charisma, so in that sense, I think you’d have to say he was “really swell.”

Actually, we can do something about it — by donating to one of the charities which help Ukrainian refugees (over 4 million to date) driven from their homes by the war.. I have donated to the American Red Cross (my oldest daughter has been a Red Cross volunteer for years), but there are a number of organizations to choose from:

I don’t remember her so much for a camp reputation as for her loud, brassy singing style, which stood out like a roar in the crowd of pop vocalists back in the day. The “funny” thing to me is that she was a Republican performing at a Democratic gala. It’s hard to imagine that happening today.
