Just another normal day in a world gone mad

The guy about to take over the USA health system has asked for the FDA to revoke the polio vaccine.

The last orthopaedic surgeon in Northern Gaza was shot in the head by the Israelis while walking to the hospital.

The children of Gaza are the largest group of amputees in the world. And they are at risk of getting polio because of a lack of vaccines.

The young man who assassinated the CEO of a company that perpetuates horrific violence every day is lauded as a folk hero.

And coal and gas mining, digging deeper for oil, making more stuff, keeping the engine of the capitalist machine running, rules the day.

Just another normal day in a world gone mad.

Meanwhile, the sunrise this morning was stunning.

There is no one simple solution to this beast of a problem we suffer. Much as we might desire it.

I want to think we have the capacity, we humans, to be kind to each other.

I want to think we can learn from our mistakes. This is the point of history, after all. This is also why we need wise elders.

Wise elders are not to be found in the halls of power.

We need to look elsewhere.

When we hand over our moral, cognitive and spiritual choices to men who haven’t a shred of wisdom or kindness, we will get the medicine the world needs. Bitter. Brutal. Cruel.

And those who pay the highest price will be — as always — the innocent. The children. The creatures.
