Richards and White : Time Travelers 

~ by TPO ~

Keith Richards (born 1943) :

- grizzled and gnarly rocker,

- has lived  a life full of hell-raising and bizarre antics,

- a miracle where he gets his stamina even in his elderly years !

 Betty White  (born 1922) :

- irrepressible and  uninhibited comedienne and show-biz perennial,

- full of vim and vigor,

- on the cusp of attaining centenarian status and still going strong !

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Richards & White :

- They're made of rare stuff,

- ... and they're irreproducible !

 In the last four years ...!

Not that there are any new revelations, but we are now more aware of the flaws in American Politics. 

1 - The weakness of the First Amendment, i.e. Freedom of Speech
- free pass is given to bullies, normalization of outrageous speech and acts
- the timidity of the media in not steadfastly challenging lies
- the propagandizing (by some sectors of the media) of conspiracy theories
2 - The role of money
- corrupt media,
- corrupt political parties,
- and corrupt interest groups (churches, and corporations)!
3 - Cynicism everywhere else !
- Defeatism
- Lack of Faith and Will to stand up for Truth

Some Practical Tools we almost forgot we had for combating  bullies and demagogues ! ...

1 - Taking away their platforms (i.e. social media presence) when necessary.
2 - Muting bullies when they attempt to disrupt orderly debates and conversations.
