When I was around 22 I remember hearing him for the first time. I worked with this woman who was a production manager in the graphic arts environment. She was smart, talented and amazing individual. But she listened to Rush. She was raised in the sticks of southern New Jersey. You don't often think about those people but she was a piney.

She was my lunch buddy, my work wife. I probably spent six years with her everyday debating that a****** on the radio. She loved him. Other than that she was the perfect woman. But of course loving rush means a whole shitload of undiagnosed stuff going on. So she was perfect on the surface.

As we now see there are 75 million Americans who align themselves with certain thought processes that we previously thought were dying? Did we? Did we think we would grow out of those attitudes and opinions? Nope. Actually yep, we had a certain level of confidence that as a civilization we were growing up. But that's not the case.

I thought demographics would win when I thought about it about 20 years ago. Sooner or later those that come up to age and live through whatever will then control their future. I was wrong. those in charge will hold on to as long as possible and screw up the voting with the gerrymandering. There is no demographic win until we get 70% or so. Actual 50 + 1 don't mean s***.

So now we see those people were hiding. They let their true selves be known to a few close individuals but for the most part they kept their mouth shut because it was dangerous to their future, to their position in society, to their standing.

So now we hear about the cancel culture. that simply means that people realize they don't want to be part of other people's poor decisions. So leave me alone and be part of yourself with your craziness and you've been canceled in my spending patterns. The cancel culture is the cornerstone of what allows any culture simply to move forward and to discard s*** it doesn't want anymore. So you can tell this annoys me.


I am not going to survive long enough for the patterns of gerrymandering of the last hundred years to be fixed. I'm going to be dead before it's fixed. But I can see the fixing is happening so I smile a little. It's going to be a while and I will not survive it though.
