What Kind of Madness Has Overtaken the World?

The Beer:  Peaches and Cream continues to sit in the secondary fermenter, awaiting kegging.

The Bicycle:  Help a brother out here and motivate me to start riding again.

The VRWC:  A madness has overtaken the world.  It is not just the partisan bickering that we have grown accustomed to.  It is more than that.  Far more.  It is madness to believe so many things that many do.  It rolls both ways, too.  Under the Obama Administration, so many claims were made that just didn't hold water.  Claims sometimes made intentionally to stir the pot.  But people on the Right believed much of it.  FEMA Camps, UN invasion, and many others.  Now, there was plenty that was true.  Obama wanted to "fundamentally remake America" and he was partly successful in that. 

Now, it seems even more pronounced.  "Russia".  It is likely that Russia interfered in the last Presidential Election, but there is zero evidence anyone from the Trump campaign or administration was involved.  Yet nearly everyone on the Left continues to promote "Russia, Russia, Russia".  The Left said the results of the last presidential election "must be accepted".  Then Hillary lost.  The left forgot anything about accepting the results and immediately went into "Resist".  "Resist"....what?  And when pressed, they can't even tell you what Trump policies they are resisting except the Wall.  Resist detention and deportation of illegal immigrants?  Obama policy.  I got nothing else.

The country was going to end up "The Handmaid's Tale" because Brett Kavanaugh became a SCOTUS justice.  The hand-wringing and wailing and gnashing of teeth was endless.  Women embarrassed their gender (we will get to that later) by publicly "free bleeding" among other absurd protests.  The women brought forward to discredit him were obviously lying or not credible or politically motivated.  But few on the Left could see it. 

This idea that there are more than 2 genders is equally absurd.  There are not 58 or 63 or 87 genders.  Only 2.  And the proof of that is the way in which those other genders are presented.  The terms are either behaviorally based ("advocate"....not a gender) or use the term "gender" in the new "gender" (trans-gendered).  But people who believe this, believe it with a religious fervor in spite of the evidence.  They have even changed the definition of the word "gender" to fit their insanity.

This brings us to "Global Warming" or "Climate....whatever" and the headlong rush into "green" energy.  I have written many times in this blog on this particular subject.  Simply stated, wind and solar are unreliable.  The available energy density is not sufficient to supply an advanced industrial/post-industrial civilization.  This will only result in higher energy prices and lower availability with no discernable change to the climate.  No discernable change, you ask?  Yes.  No discernable change.  We are about to doom our economy and maybe even our lives here.  The notion that a 30% change in 0.04% of the atmosphere is catastrophic defies any kind of logic.  It is much more likely that this climate is cycling and we are about to enter a cooler period.  But the beliefs persist, again with a religious fervor.

There are plenty of other examples of this inssanity; these are but few.  I don't know where this is going or why it is what it is, but it is worrisome.
