 DUMB INSOLENCE #15

A popular English football commentator once declared, " It's deja-vu all over again !" And one might as well quote the persiflage of Soccer with as much reverance as you would the tortuous,soul-searching pronouncements of philosophers.Profundity is in the ear of the listener.

Syria,Libya,Yemen,Afghanistan,etc aside for one moment ;well quite a few moments actually,depends really how long you consider a "moment" to be nowadays.

And with the unfortunate advent of Covid-19 those moments have stretched themselves way beyond anything previously experienced by contemporary society.

June 30 marked 100 Days of national Lockdown.It has never,in effect,been lifted.

Our human,civil & democratic Rights and liberties lie as beaten up and unconscious in the darkened alleyway today as they did when the govt first instigated its nefarious strategy to impose its totalitarian plans.

Huge swathes of our country have had the tyrannical yoke of partial localised lockdown style restrictions imposed on them- remarkably indistinguishable from the preceding full national Lockdown.

Whoever first uttered that there is safety in numbers,clearly knew nothing about anything except their personal need to sound authoritative in the absence of reason and common sense which obviously weren't their strong suit.

And yet it seems that all nation states have succumbed to the same set of vapid,irrelevant and entirely redundant what they call measures to deal with Covid-19.

This is the rape of reason,the overthrow of democracy.
