In a nation where we are being told obesity is epidemic and I’m so thin I feel free to share with others that my idea of comfort food is a cigarette or pipe with a cup of industrial strength black coffee. When people make comment about this form of self abuse it always reminds me of the executioner when someone asked if his profession caused him to awaken at night screaming from nightmares and he replied: “Doesn’t everybody?”

I don’t believe America’s leaders, whose profession classes them as America’s executioners, are intentionally trying to cause the nightmares that obviously do not trouble them from the multiple disasters they have created, none of which any politician dares to address openly along with the necessary Draconian solutions to these nightmares they have created; but some intimation along the line of that executioner from some politicians would be appreciated. But in all seriousness, and I really mean this, I believe a tender conscience requires a soul and I believe politicians are without a soul that would lead them to any sincere and believable admission of wrongdoing for the sake of conscience. Politicians give the distinct impression that one might as well expect their father the Devil to repent of any wickedness.

However, it isn’t only Caesar Bush that seems without a soul and wearing that “What, me worry?” expression, he just does it better than some others though they all, each and every one of them qualify as lunatics with idiotic expressions that openly declare “What, me worry?” And to add insult to injury to We the People these lunatics with their idiotic expressions permanently affixed as though by plastic surgery gone horribly awry, as with so many in the MSM, are performing on the world stage openly declaring to the whole world we appear a nation of lunatics led of lunatics!

But to be charitable, perhaps some of these soulless politicians really are idiots rather than lunatic. A question suggests itself here that this possibility actually frightens people like Vladimir Putin? That wouldn’t be good. In fact, just suppose Putin became more scared than angry? When you have America’s leaders ignoring the many trillions of dollars of indebtedness and only promising more of such indebtedness with no way out, refusing to secure our borders and betraying our nation wholesale on every hand while pandering for votes, if I were Putin I would be frightened of such a nation seeming to be led of idiots and lunatics! It then becomes a question of which would be more dangerous; Putin or any other world leaders taking action out of anger or fear? I feel a nightmare coming on!

It’s part of the human tragedy that men make wars while women attempt to make homes. But more and more women seem to be getting the message Harper Lee tried to get across about fundamentalist religion teaching in too many cases not confined to Islam but homegrown that women are unclean and sin by definition. Women are leaving the churches in great numbers, but who would have thought Buffy would be causing them to do so?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —  More than 50,000 women a year have deserted their congregations over the past two decades because they feel church is not relevant to their lives, according to a British academic study — and shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" have played a role in the exodus. The research, published in a new book called "Women and Religion in the West," says TV shows like "Buffy" offer women an appealing message of female empowerment while the old-fashioned attitudes and hierarchies of churches are causing a steep decline in the number of female worshippers. "In short, women are abandoning the church," writes Kristin Aune, a sociologist at the University of Derby. "Because of its focus on female empowerment, young women are attracted by [the pagan religion] Wicca, popularized by the TV series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.' "Young women tend to express egalitarian values and dislike the traditionalism and hierarchies they imagine are integral to the church." Her research cites an English Church census which found that more than a million women worshippers have left churches since 1989, and that women have been leaving churches at twice the rate of men.

Some women find Wicca a far more accommodating religious belief system solely on the basis of empowerment, but many of them actually find spiritual fulfillment in these beliefs and I find no fault with them on that score. Nor do I fault women who simply get tired of the religious beliefs expressed by too many preachers Women are no damned good! Which, garb it as they will in religiosity still comes out as the message from too many pulpits.

One thing for sure, we are not going to escape from politicians serving the Devil and it will be the innocent who will suffer at their hands. But as the politicians party on I’m reminded of the party being held by king Belshazzar as described in the book of Daniel, when suddenly the fingers of a man’s hand appeared writing on the wall of the palace: “God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.”

Well, there is nothing I can do to prevent Armageddon but at least the work on the Large Hadron Collider is going on apace with a September 10 date set to trigger the extraordinary device. I don’t believe there will be any “God particle” discovered in the sense of providing any understanding of life since I don’t believe life came out of anything in the Big Bang, but is solely within the mind and hands of God. But while science may not save us it is of some comfort to me that there are great minds devoted to science and continuing to explore the mysteries of the universe:

“One experiment at the LHC, known as ALICE, seeks to re-create the conditions that existed just an instant after the big bang that gave rise to the universe as we know it. LHCb's researchers want to understand why matter won out over antimatter after the creation of the cosmos. But the LHC's main goal - targeted by the Compact Muon Solenoid as well as the ATLAS detector - is to fill the gaps that currently exist in the Standard Model, the grand theory governing the subatomic structure of the universe. That may mean finding traces of extra dimensions, or a whole new class of supersymmetric particles, or the causes behind dark matter and dark energy. Filling the scientific gaps would almost certainly include getting a fix on the Higgs boson, which some physicists have dubbed the ‘God particle.’ The Higgs is the only particle predicted by the Standard Model that hasn't yet been found, and it could hold the key to understanding why some particles (like protons) have mass while others (like photons) do not.”
