Random Thoughts From 2019 That Have Stood The Test Of Time

I’ve consistently found that what I’ve written in the past requires no explanations or apologies. I hope that speaks well of what I am writing now. Here, from something I originally posted on October 24, 2019 (https://theamazingmorse.blogspot.com/2019/10/random-thoughts-part-28.html), are some random thoughts I think have stood the test of time. Let me know what you think:

If you’ve been certain that Putin had pee tapes he was holding over Trump’s head but never once considered that Jeffrey Epstein might have something similar on him, your opinions are not your own but mere echoes of what the media has told you.

In the transition from words in physical form to words we read on electronic devices, we lose two very important aspects of reading: 1. A book does not offer you a world of cheap distractions the way anything connected to the internet does and 2. Words on paper cannot be changed, whereas news articles etc. are constantly rewritten as soon as the words and ideas prove the writer a liar or a moron.

What did we intend to do differently in Syria than we did in Libya, which left that country a smoldering wreck and a haven for terrorists where open-air slave markets thrived?
