This is getting to be nuts!

That’s why I’m writing hip hop lyrics, for God’s sake!

Here’s a few, in case you missed them:

The world’s comin’ to an end, Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert just said.

The end times comin’ up upon us… that’s no fun, and that’s a promise!

So with such dejection, why the hell is she runnin’ for reelection?

Maybe she could be doin’ some other things, spending her limited time on more productive things.

And I wrote, a few days ago in the Daily Post, about when I was getting imbedded in business, early in my career, when I was way more conservative. Here’s some of the article:

Perhaps it wasn’t mushrooms, back then, in the 1970s, when I was waiting in line at an airport.

I was about to check in for my flight, and a guy ahead of me, looking like a hippie, had just sauntered up to the counter.

It seemed he was under suspicion.

Apparently sensing something from the airport official’s demeanor, the hippie guy had decided to have some fun.

‘Maybe it’s in my shirt pocket,’ you could hear him saying to the airport official, behind the counter. ‘Or under my belt, wanna check there? Or, in my backpack? Maybe tucked in my socks?’

Marijuana… weed? Did he have any on his person, us folks waiting in line were wondering.

Hearing his banter with the official, people behind me, started giggling.

Back then, some hippies, and others, were questioning authority, due to Vietnam War angst, mainly. The hippie-looking guy, apparently playing around with the airport official, was bringing laughter to the folks around me… and to me, eventually, as well.

I was getting all embedded in business, around that time, early in my career, and I was way more conservative. But I couldn’t keep from laughing, anyway.

It was the liberals — or the ‘libs,’ as they’re being called, now — who were questioning authority, it seemed, in the ’60s and ’70s. Now, it’s the conservatives — can we call them ‘tivs,’ for short? — who seem to be doing that.

But differently, and maybe dangerously? Because the tivs’ apparent flirtation with authoritarianism and authoritarians, could wind up destabilizing folks’ freedom, and maybe do away with it, entirely.

But… back to that airport, and the 1970s.

Here’s the whole column, and this picture…
