Nothing new under the Sun

  An advantage in having little to do of note nor importance is time. Time is on my side. So I listen a little to the talking heads of news organizations and folks making excuses for the collapse of Afghanistan, back to where it wants to be. And the blame game goes everywhere, the real trouble makers aren't in the spotlight, they are in their lairs and unreported meetings. The spies know who is a power and who is around the power centers making things happen, and they find ways to control what is going on. They work to make a difference for their side and leave no trace except a smile. Or a Fear. Reference 'Charlie Wilson's War' with Tom Hanks, lovely comedy of real history.

  Having my fill of fools, I find 'Shooter' and Bob Lee Swagger, I figured the story of Earl Swagger more entertaining but it is only a writer's fabric moves through changing times and events and I will always find something to consider. We can't really live on what comes over media, from politics, or others they are considerations only, the same type of people will cry for the death of Christ or you = a mob has a stupidity that defies eras.
