Enlightenment/Entitlement

“Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one’s understanding without guidance from another. By a lie a man throws away and as it were annihilated his dignity as a man”. Immanuel Kant was an influential German philosopher in the Age of Enlightenment. In his doctrine of transcendental idealism, he argued that space, time, and causation are mere sensibilities; "things-in-themselves" exist, but their nature is unknowable.

Trump White House calls the need to test all Americans a myth! Press Secretary White House Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnany downplays the need for robust testing across the nation. Trump contradicts nurse in the Oval office, as she says, access to sufficient supplies of personal protective equipment, “has been sporadic.” Trump, as US COVID-19 death toll nears 74,000, “it is what it is.” The US seems resigned to preventable firearms deaths. It seems the same is happening from the fatalities of the pandemic, writes NYT opinion writer Charlie Warzel. Rand Paul walks on the Senate floor without a face mask. Trump walks onto the factory where face masks are being produced and he and the CEO touch the mask, glad-hand one another, and neither are wearing face masks. CDC Guidelines reportedly will never see the light of day! Trump continues to eliminate ALL of the Affordable Health Care Act despite the angst of sick Americans, and then in spite of the barrage of new COVID-19 cases…Where does it begin, how did this begin and where and how does any of this end. 

A mad man, sick with his own nasty shadows of self-doubt, drowning in his own narcissism, indulging in the gluttony that only a GRIFTER, gladly embraces, and full of a reality, based, on how he as a sociopath slithers through life. He is permitted his own free-wheeling ways, by others who betray logic, morals, values, and ethics, because they believe power/prestige is based on the dirt of money filling their pockets by dirtier hands of a new brand of American the 1%Donor Class, Domestic Terrorists, if you will, who truly believe WEALTH, is THE ALL-PURPOSE VACCINE! There is no Age of Enlightenment any longer, just and Age of Entitlement.  And as we watch the beginning of the end of whatever our normal is, laughing, that a new normal is just around the corner, we witness, incidents with armed men shooting up a fast food store because they were told, no one is permitted to dine in, a customer spit on the shirt of a restaurant employee, as he is told he cannot sit and eat his food. Armed insecure domestic terrorists parade their manhood, (their AK Assault Weapons) at the Capitol in Michigan, Corporations demanding workers return to an unsafe environment, without the necessary precautions from social distancing to PPE’s…and worst of all we actually have a partisan debate on which life is the priority, People or Profit. This IS OUR AMERICA…IS this the America we want as OURS?
