The only certainty is uncertainty.
Author: Henry Barnard
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up.
Politics and Climate Change
Of Ants and Men
Consider the ant’s understanding of the realities on earth, which is negligible. How much does the ant understand about nuclear technology, for instance?
I think the ant’s understanding of the realities on earth is analogous to mankind’s understanding of realities in the universe.
Hong Kong
These are the real freedom fighters in Hong Kong, while the rest of the world turns its back on them in order to not offend Peking. Just like so many American corporations that are bed with the Chinese Communist Party because their profits are tied up with China.
Funny how we demonize Russia, which is no longer communist, but always give a pass to China, which still is.
Bull Market
If the S&P can’t break through the 2940 level, the bull market is over. The 2940 level has now been tested 5 times and failed each time. Failing to break through 2940 would make 2940 the first lower high.
The Choice
Down with censorship. Up with freedom of speech. Be not afraid of words. Be afraid of hidden agendas.
“Troy”
Once Again
All the cries and despairs,
All the wounds and daily cares,
All the anxieties and their scares…
Now, just fallen leaves, dead leaves,
Once again.
All the dreams and their joys,
All the schemes and sly ploys,
All the hopes and attaboys…
Now, just fallen leaves, dead leaves,
Once again.
But then another spring comes around
So lush, new-born leaves abound,
Once again.
Democrats
Most of the Democrat candidates are raving lunatics. And they said Trump was dangerous!
A Gem
Aesop’s Fables — I bought this gem for a dollar in a garage sale. Do you know who Aesop was?
Curious that these fables are appropriate for both children as well as the mature and philosophical mind of an adult in that they carry or reveal undeniable truths.
