RELATIVITY
and reality
If you seek a treatise on advanced physics or an essay about Albert Einstein, you will be sorely disappointed with this short essay.
I am writing about relativity in war and how statistics can confuse stupid and non-insightful cretins.
Let’s consider the horror expressed by the mainstream media at learning that 17 American troops have been killed during the three month Iran/US war.
Where do I begin?
First of all, every death is a tragedy and every American soldier or sailor who volunteered to serve our nation, knowing that he or she could be making the ultimate sacrifice, is a hero.
While much of the fat and hairy American men parading around in dresses (even in the pristine environment of Marquette, Michigan) have few desires besides sodomy, alcohol, and drugs, those heroes killed in the past 93 days stand out as actual warriors - and not psychotic fools.
How many have been murdered in Chicago in 2026? The answer is 229.
In WW II, during the five-week Battle of the Bulge, 20,000 American soldiers were killed and 75,000 allied troops died.
In six months, during the battle for Stalingrad, 1,100,000 Russian soldiers were killed.
I would never discount the lives of that handful of patriots who have died in the effort to keep Islam at bay; but I can’t help but notice the contrast between wars and how some American cities have devolved into killing fields with MUCH MORE DEATH than we have seen in the Mideast.
Those constant reminders (at least from CBS 24/7news) make it appear that our soldiers are victims of an ill-advised and (apparently already) lost war against those Iranian fanatics.
Pray for our troops and pray that the US will soon be using Ukrainian drones to completely destroy the leadership and infrastructure of the world’s leading exporter of terror and murder.


Years ago, when I was in 8th grade (today's "middle school") an English teacher asked a question I re-visit often. In those days of wooden ships, iron men, and dinosaurs, English teachers were also expected to serve as philosophers, to prepare students for life, and to ask thought-provoking questions about values, morality, and the costs of the freedom we enjoy as a part of our great good fortune.
I find it sad to think the question I was asked as part of my public education, one a 13 or 14-year-old could answer without hesitation, is not asked, nor considered in our teacher's union run schools today - - "What do you consider worth dying for?"
