It was not too strange that I forgot that one of the e-mail discussion groups I was subscribed to is moderated. The odd thing is that I was invited to join the group, and the first time I posted it was obvious that I was being moderated, so I changed my subscription to No Mail.
I forgot about being on that list for a while, and then posted something today. Then, when I realized my post didn't appear on the group's home page I realized that I was still being moderated and unsubbed. The dude who runs the group seems to have created it just to sell his books. I should have realized it was a commercial site.
Nobody seems to be using e-mail to discuss anything anymore. It has been dwindling for some time now in all the groups I'm subscribed to. Maybe they've changed over to a new medium, but I suspect not even that. The groups I've belong to are listed to have thousands of members, but for a long time not many of the people subscribed actually participate and write to contribute to whatever conversation is going on.
It pains me to think about doing what I gotta do to put some money together so that I can move to a more private place to live. I don't know where to go for that to happen. Renting property and being under somebody else's authority seems like it would be the opposite of what used to be pleasant here for me.
The military helicopters are back again. I didn't think they'd be gone long. They've taken over the local airport to play their war games. It surprised me a little the other day to hear Obama self-righteously talking down to the Libyan guy for having all those people killed. He has professional killers all over the world killing innocent people by the hundreds of thousands.
Somehow I intuited that when the draft was eliminated and the Army was changed to where they only had volunteer professionals in the military that it was a major shift in policy that did not bode well for the great unwashed.
The politicos don't have wars to protect the nation anymore, but to carry out their whimsical political doctrines of capitalism. Maybe that's the way it's been all along and I've just been blind to the truth of what's going on. Nothing new about that. Why am I always the last to know?

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
