Peace

Lots of shenanigans in Wisconsin recently. Opinions vary and a dime buys you a dozen. For all the outrage expressed at the role of BIG corporations and how they supposedly skew elections these days, ostensibly favoring republicans, where is the comparable outrage expressed at the millions of dollars public unions use specifically to get democrats elected, who in turn become the bosses of the public employees? Conflict of interest? On the other hand, I wouldn’t wish the job of a teacher in the public school system on anyone. Still.

And then there are these sweet little tweets. Makes Palin’s use of the word “target” a call for peace by comparison.

Oh well, I’m just pointing out the extant hypocrisy in all of this, largely on the part of the press but others as well. Regardless of your position, this is an issue for ThePeople® of Wisconsin to work through, the rest of us are spectators.

While other parts of the world variously unwind and spin out of control, we are thankful for the relative peace of a winter walk.

  1. No Grayling here, John, certainly not this time of year. The creek does swell with worn out salmon late in July/August, a bear’s feast. In fact, right here was the place in summer of ’08 where the mountain biker was attacked by a grizzly.

    The bears are still sleeping now, tho. We hope!

  2. Any idea if the crick held salmon, or experienced salmon runs, prior to the intervention of the state, i.e. stocking the crick with salmon? Just curious.

    I hope the young lady recovered, mentally and physically, from the bear attack.
