Stupid in America

 There are examples of complete and utter moronic behavior everywhere in the world.  American marketing tries to erase that and put on a glossy packaging on all its content that it spews out on media outlets. But non biased reporting many a times exposes the fallout of what a variety of idiots can unleash on unsuspecting citizens.

A recent story that ran on NPR spotlights a school providing floor sealant to children as the breakfast of champions in lieu of milk.  Irony does not even begin to address this scenario where someone complained of foul smell leading to an investigation and removal of said offensive product from the beverage line.

Side effects may vary - some children might have a very smooth colon here on out. I know it is insensitive in a woke society to make fun of this but c'mon people!

Then there was the case of a psychotic, houseless male pushing a lady on NYC train tracks that killed her. This nut job was officially deemed to be off his rocker and sent away but a woman commuter lost her life.

Systemic issues are rampant in today's America devolving over time like many a great civilization before it, despite the innovation that made many people rich beyond imagination.  Then again rich is no guarantee of future results.

Amber Heard and Depp fiasco was heard by the court of public opinion and from tossing self excreted turds in the bed to whamo bango abuse and insult the two so called pop movie stars laid it out for all to see and comment and judge.

Covid did alter people's brains to a degree but are we now using the Corona to be the catch all culprit that led to our societal demise?

But What If We're Wrong?

I attempted to read this book by author Chuck Klosterman backward to forward but it started hurting my brain so I decided to stop and do it like any other publication in the English language.  Start from page 1 and move to the right. Witty, caustic and thought provoking this is a book you want to read if you believe that the status quo might, just might be wrong. At times bordering on being contrarian about most things around us it tries to zero in on the notion of what makes anything believable and certain in our minds.  The fact that there is a fact itself is ironic.  Something analogous to the idea that you can never predict the future because there is no future. Many books and movies have tried to play on this concept - best that I recollect (I think I am) was 'The Truman Show'.  This book by Klosterman attempts to provoke the reader to at least contemplate that what they think they know may be wrong. He uses examples like concept of gravity, and how it ...

Peru, South America - Week well spent

Growing up in India the only Peru I knew of was a tropical fruit (Guava for those whose lingua is English).   Not until high school did I discover that it was also a country in the South American continent. So it was this early April week that we decided to hit up Peru - the land of the once glorious Inca people that lived 500 years ago.  Today Peru is the third largest country on that continent with a diverse geography that stretches from the drier Pacific coast plains to the high mountains of the Andes and the Amazon river valley to its east. Our trip was primarily a pilgrimage of sorts to visit the last remaining, lost (now found and documented), large scale, mostly undamaged, city of the Inca nobility, called Machu Picchu (MP).  The Inca were great architects and builders.  MP is a UNESCO world heritage site affording it high visibility to the tourism trade and therefore crowded year round.  Our timing was not quite high season allowing us...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...
