In this, our 17th episode of Madness Chronicles, we take a look at the madness of our society in general. Remember, insanity is a state of mental illness, especially severe, extremely foolish behavior, and a state of frantic or chaotic activity. Let’s take a look at what’s going on in America.
There are some outstanding Ted Talks, a great resource, but a recent talk falls short and descends into madness. A Native American woman named Kelsey Leonard raises the need for lakes and rivers to have the same legal rights as people. Allowing that would be extremely foolish behavior.
On a school bus in Hamilton County, Florida, a high school student was brutally beaten for wearing his Trump MAGA hat. Officials admitted to being shocked at the brutality of the attack, but assured the parents that it was not a hate crime. Parents protested, the Sheriff’s Office investigated, reviewed the shocking acts of the young attackers and, drum roll, agreed with the school administration. Only children have a disagreement.
The news is full of calls not only to change the alleged terrible behavior of the police, but with some calling for the complete abolition of the police. Cardozo Law, the Harvard Law Review, the Boston Review, and Rolling Stone magazine have published articles calling for the abolition of police departments. In the leftist epicenter of Seattle, city council candidate Shaun Scott ran on the platform of abolishing the police and having no criminal laws at all. He was 1,386 votes away from winning the elected position.
In a recent Canadian Free Post report, we learned that more than 50,000,000 babies have been aborted since 1973. That means killed inside or outside the womb. However, we are a society that rightly holds baby eagles in high regard. Do you realize that if you disturb even an eagle egg, you are subject to fines, penalties and up to a year in prison? Isn’t that interesting? What does it say about our present when human babies are sacrificed on the altar of women’s rights, but I can be jailed for violating the rights of unborn baby eagles? hmm?
In California, where things are always crazy, Governor Newsom strikes again. The state has a fitness policy for children in public schools that requires children in fifth, seventh, and ninth grades to meet specific requirements. That’s a good thing in the age of obesity. But alas, Governor Newsom knows better. He stopped the tests by declaring them ‘discriminatory’ to students with disabilities, offering only male and female options. Note to the Governor. The HE criteria are not a requirement for students with disabilities. And of course, the last thing we mere mortals knew was that there were only male and female students.
We start this episode with Ted Talks, so let’s end with one too. Nicola Jones recently shared her concerns with the audience about noise pollution in the ocean and how we should mitigate it. That’s right, noise pollution. And she assured listeners that we humans have an obligation to fix it. You can’t make these things up.
Let’s wake up from this madness before it’s too late. I wish you all good health and until next time… have fun, enjoy life and beware the craziness among us.
