Foolery. Foolhardy. Thoughts on a wet, cold Sunday afternoon.

 We have a saying in Italian, one that I've used many times lately, "La mamma degli imbecilli è sempre incinta."

I've just read TC's latest post HERE and, if my saying ever needed support, here it is!


Some believe that God and Jesus are here to help. When they don't seem to give a shit (think the Covid pandemic, for example), we're told that they work in mysterious ways. That seems to me like having a bet both ways. The thoughts / solutions of imbeciles?

Anyway, the problem is really to stop silly people following the words of imbeciles. What is needed is a practical solution, based on common sense, that gives the best possible outcome for all people. We don't need to have some people with incredible amounts of money and power. It certainly doesn't help to have people shooting each other - let's not even think of giving their children guns. Scientific style reason and empathy are our best ways forward. I guess that the trouble is that imbeciles will have completely different, whacky ideas. The problem is that the mother of imbeciles is always pregnant.

Ciao tutti.

By golly - you're right.
I think I'll create a Common Sense Curmudgeon. The world needs that.

I don't think that The Common Sense Curmudgeon will be quoting Robert in his pending posts.

"Though I could say that, of course, Jesus suggested this 2000 years ago..."
But, with Jesus, there is always a condition.
"You must love me and my father or be burnt for eternity."
That's the cop out. A fairly big one really. Fucking hell!
