The Celebration

The motley  crew of brush hackers will celebrate New Years in Payson.   The plan is a movie, and a dinner.  Kadizzle and Mrs. have been watching a Netflix series.  The series is A PLACE CALLED HOME.  The setting is in Australia in 1953.  The story is in the style of Upstairs Downstairs.  It is always amazing to see something that is put together with no car chases, shootings, or the usual drivel that keeps churning out of Hollywood.

The story revolves around a rich family that has a gay son.  The son married to cover up his homosexuality.  His wife gradually catches on.  It is interesting to see how attitudes have evolved since 1953. 

So here comes a new year.  It will be hard to surpass the insanity and unbelief of 2017.  No one would have ever guessed how deep stupidly runs in our country.  The number of Hoopleheads and the ease with which they can be manipulated is something that took every thinking person by surprise.  It is like finding our your house is infested with termites.  Europe should have given us a clue.  The British voted to leave the European Union.  English Hoopleheads showed us how easy you can shoot your own foot off.  Of course our Hoopleheads had to out do them.

So the question is will we come out of the fog in 2018?  Will the Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity liars prevail or will science and reason come back?  There was something called the Dark Ages is this era coming again.  The depression was brought on when greed got out of hand in the thirties.  Social safety nets restored sanity.  Now with glee the prosperity we had from a healthy middles class is being shattered in the name of trickle down economics.
