I agree with Groucho Marx. Then, life as I know it began. I hear stories from older people saying the same thing. They’ve seen and witnessed outrageous things happen in our world. Like traveling to outer space, flying cars, laser surgeries and many other unbelievable human accomplishments.
I wanted to remain under my fluffy, comfy blanket this morning, wrapped up like a newborn baby. But the subtle sounds of coffee being brewed forced me into my daily life.
Then it began. The craziness in politics beyond the imagination of my forefathers and older friends.

This chaos lacks rhythm or reason. It’s just pure madness, and unlike the gentle swirl of cream in my coffee, it’s an unending whirl of daily chaos blending into it.
I want and need to uphold the scientific foundations of knowledge and values. But since the scientific world is also under attack, may I please have the simplicity of being born at an early age?
There’s an easy solution, Ms. Barocio. Stop paying attention to the sky-is-falling message that the mainstream media is fooling you into believing. Enjoy your coffee and ignore the craziness which, I might add, went into overdrive a decade ago with the advent of Trump Derangement Syndrome. We can all see our (yes, our) great President Trump is doing his best to uphold the scientific foundations of knowledge and values that Democrats would have you ignore. To wit, among others, Trump is keeping biological males from competing against biological females and allowing folks to decide whether they want to take a jab that doesn’t prevent one from contracting COVID. We do live in interesting times – the bigger question is whether the rabid left will return to common sense or continue putting the welfare of criminals and terrorists over the American people. BTW, “born at an early age”? Doesn’t age begin after you’re born?
