The Rule of Idiots In the last days of all empires the idiots take over. They mirror the collective stupidity of a civilization that has detached itself from reality.

β€˜Voegelin defines stupidity as a β€œloss of reality” … [so that] a β€œstupid” person cannot β€œrightly orient his action in the world, in which he lives.” … The demagogue expresses the society’s …collective departure from a rational world of verifiable fact.’

β€œthe social, cultural & moral norms in a diseased society are inverted. The attributes that sustain an open society β€” a concern for the common good, honesty, trust & self-sacrifice β€” are ridiculed. They are detrimental to existence in a diseased society.”

Sunflowers and sandstone. You can't get much better than that.

Eyebright | Herbs | Herbal Reality Eyebright is a wonderful herb for allergies, excess mucous and eye problems. It is particularly helpful for allergy season.

Eyebright is a member of the Euphrasia family of plants. It’s an annual that’s very well behaved, doesn’t spread itself around your garden, and because of that it’s rather difficult to find seeds of it. #herbChat www.herbalreality.com/herb/eyebrig...

Let your spirit blossom,
Let your heart dance freely,
And keep your dreams alive…

As specifically unintended, but incidental beneficiary of your good will: Thanks & thanks & thanks. In turn I wish you & ALL people every where not just a good day, but good days every day until forever. Everywhere the Yahoos seem to have control & some of us will not make it but this WILL pass

for 20+ years, I lived under the apartheid-lite racist state of Rhodesia & know in a way you likely do not yet, but soon will, that LEGITIMATE is not the same a LEGAL & the ILLEGITIMATE can & will be declared to be supplanted by the the LEGAL as declared by the John 'Pontius Pilate' Roberts Court.
