Hi there. I hope this finds you all safe and sound. It is an interesting if not very confusing world we live in these days. As usual it seems that we never learn from our mistakes or from history. Covid-19 isn't the first flu to go around and it won't be the last.

I find it interesting to see the two sides of the covid coin. There are those who are very afraid of it and believe that the governments of the world have and are doing everything right and everything they can do to protect them. Then there is the other side who think that what the government has done is tantamount to criminal. They have taken away our basic freedoms and doomed so many people and companies to the has-been pile.

I am of the opinion that no elected official should have the power to harm so many to save so few. That doesn't mean that the governments at all levels didn't do some things right especially in the beginning when no one was sure what we were dealing with, but after the models all proved to be wrong and the curve was more or less flattened, they continued to do more harm than good.

You can therefore see which side of the coin I am on, but enough of that and on to even worse things. The protests caused by the death of a man in Minnesota has rocked the world and here is where we have not learned from our mistakes or from the past. Has this happened in the past? Of course it has, but still there are people out there who don't get it.

Still the desire for wrecking things and looting seems to over power the desire to be heard. They do not need to go hand in hand, but there are so many out there who would take advantage of anything that happens and have no real voice in any protest.

Sometimes this is a scary world we live in, but it's all we have. If only people would understand that no matter what your position is, people need to be allowed to live.

That's it for now and stay safe until next time.
