I was surprised to note a major pundit referring to financial predators in an op-ed today. But then I noticed on Google that there are some two and a half million references. Most are probably related to predatory lenders that make an outrageous profit lending to people who don’t have much of anything to begin with. Applying that term to the high class financiers on Wall Street is probably not routine.

than I was and I’m not as sanguine as he is predicting that the segregationist strategies are dead. Yes, one more convenient target has become less convenient, but there are always more, as long as segments of the human population share similar traits. Lately, it’s been women who wear head scarves. Besides, it seems Republicans are people who are afraid of their own shadows and easily frightened. It is, of course, juvenile for big shots to take advantage of that.

From the time I learned to walk until the summer of my fourth year, I lived on the second floor of a tiny house (15′ x 15′ I’d guess) that was divided into two rooms–one for sleeping and one for cooking and everything else. Heat came from the wood cook stove. There was no electricity and no running water. The first floor was more interesting. In addition to a covered wall for wood storage, there was a chicken coop, a wash/slaughter room with a clay bake-oven and, on the outside around the back, the cesspool for the outhouse on the second floor. Since the location in the foothills of the Alps was rather cold and windy in winter, we didn’t use the outhouse then. And I didn’t have to worry about falling in.

That’s a really depressing thought. Because, although indistinct and shrouded in the fog of history like some Loch Ness monster, that head represents a gigantic, swelling unseen force that aims to destroy the body politic. Moreover, it’s a force that dare not say its name. Rather, it appears disguised as reasonable opposition towards socialism, illegal aliens, gay marriage, single mothers, big government and crime.

Why should I care? Since I haven’t ever been on a commercial flight and don’t plan to take one soon, why should I care that the Transport Security Agency is totally incompetent and obviously designed to let Americans know that their right to travel is liable to being eliminated at any time? Because, like many of out other human rights, the right to travel (I mean what else would creatures with automobility and two good feet want to do?) is merely implied in our Constitution and, therefor, liable to being ignored or violated at the drop of a hat, or some irritating comment. And because the current regime is wasting everyone’s time to no good purpose. Which is probably the greater offense.
