And what was at the bottom of the feeder? The big orange bottom-feeder, of course. If we don't escape from him next year, we're toast.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-86238284577161145992019-08-11T15:03:18.439-05:002019-08-11T15:03:18.439-05:00Have you ever seen "Strange Brew?"

It was published in 2008 and what he was writing about then is true today. Here are a couple of articles that mentions Wolin and what he was writing about. The explain much better than I can. https://www.salon.com/topic/sheldon-wolin https://www.salon.com/2016/11/23/donald-trumps-inverted-totalitarianism-too-bad-we-didnt-heed-sheldon-wolins-warnings/ Basically his theory is we are living under a system of inverted totalitarianism. I think the book is worth reading. You can also read it for free. file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/epdf.pub_democracy-incorporated-managed-democracy-and-the-s%20(1).pdf Amazingly enough he tosses off a one sentence mention of Trump.sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580867647162091670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-80253204357445322232019-08-11T12:07:27.088-05:002019-08-11T12:07:27.088-05:00I just wonder if he'll be back, or if he'l...I just wonder if he'll be back, or if he'll avoid your feeder as a potential deathtrap.<br /><br />Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-12384125198419867072019-08-11T10:26:11.797-05:002019-08-11T10:26:11.797-05:00Griz -- I believe the metaphor involves the bird e...Griz -- I believe the metaphor involves the bird eating it's way to the bottom.

But who? I have one of those blue "Almost anyone else in 2020" hats. I haven't worn it very much. Could the bird be freed and then be faced with something even worse? Anything is possible now.
