Aux Barricades!

Welcome to the Barricades! Hopefully you found this blog because you are interested a potpourri of politics, amateur photography, books, naturism, food and food politics and all the adventures of life 'at a certain age' - because that's what I will be blogging about.

It's said the third time is a charm.The first time I tried blogging I managed 16 posts. The second time I got a little better and managed 75. This time I am hoping to keep it going. Before I self_censored because I knew the kids were reading. This time I will hide from them.

So why the Barricades?
We need a goddamned revolution! Our society has been turned into a flock of sheep living a delusion. Truth is no longer conformity to fact and reality. Facts and reality are disdained by those who seek to rule us. King George the W of Wall Street's administration self_admittedly did not live in a reality based world. They supposedly created reality. The next wanna-be King of Wall Street, Willard the Rat (shout out to Nellie for that) is running a campaign that will 'not be dictated by fact-checkers'. Seriously? Are we that stupid?

Sadly as a country we are. And we are destined to get stupider. Texas wants to ban critical thinking from public education. Wasn't the goal of public education to have an informed electorate? If people could read they would be able to decide for themselves how to vote. An informed electorate is the last thing Willard the Rat and his ilk want. They want empty vessels that will repeat back whatever propaganda they spew.
