“The future is as simple as me looking at the next block, realizing in about three minutes I will be there. History is me getting to that block then looking back at the way I climbed the hill to arrive. Learning from history is when, the next day comes, and I begin to walk up that hill to get to the next block and remember along the way a very vicious dog would be waiting at a fence to try and scare me, so I become more alert. History repeating itself, and being ignored, is when I am more concerned about finally making it to the next block, forgetting that as I jump and fall due to that barking dog, I will once again become frightened, and curse, saying how did this happen again!” Cory Weisman. My son, explaining the foolishness of making the same mistakes again, and again. James Weisman! (Opening excerpt from the soon to be published…from my computer to the Publishing God’s ears… ‘The Clicks’, by Gerry Buncher
The signs are all around us. We see them, we obey them, we forget them and some we ignore too many times, supposing they mean something, but nothing, that will really affect me! We cross the highway, thinking no one has passed us for at least an hour, and wham bam, the once every two-hour driver appears, we meet, perhaps to never meet again. We wonder where those kids are who supposedly kick balls onto the street, but then get more concerned about the zig ziggety thing-a-ma-curvy line, and worry more about being lost, when on the second black curve of the long SSSSSS sign a kid appears. And the dread of all deeds is the Dead End, what the fuck just happened…we traveled this we often, WAY often but suddenly paying no attention we hit the DEAD END.
How many times must we say, “OH THAT CRAZY ASS TRUMP”, “OH THAT SELFISH, SPINELESS, RUSSIAN OLIGARCH Mc CONNELL”, or “HUCKABEE, SARAH recites Gods prayers and blessings then SPEWS TRUMPS LIES”, or WHACKY BAG LADY LOOK ALIKE KELLYANNE WITH VENOMOUS DROOL DRIPPING FROM HER ACID ROTTED MOUTH is spreading the disease of GOTTCHA!” One douchebag Republican politician probably the child of the now permitted by law of making incest a gift from Jesus when a love affair between daughter and father turns into rape, extolled that history is old, so let it die its death. Other Noble Prize winners for MENDACITY-untruthfulness, lying, dishonesty, deceitfulness disingenuousness, fraud and two-timing, like Bolton/Graham and Cotton), think if history proved them wrong once, the odds are the second time will work, and if not then, certainly ain’t the third time a charm!
As my character, Cory Weisman in the novel “The Clicks”, tried to explain the way of life to his father James…what the fuck dude, why shoot yourself in the foot when you know if you just stop caring that gun, nothing bad will happen! History! What is it good for…in the Times of Trump…absolutely nothing…or do the lyrics of that song go, War! What is it good for?????
