The Last Time only the children were Sane

 My dog is still a puppy and has no idea what the coronavirus is. Many Trump voters are in denial of it too (with their dying breaths).

The world I live in here in the U.S. has gone mad and it's getting worse. No one thought it could ever get this bad in America where the ex presidents are the only real leadership in times like these.

We are living in a nightmare which in some ways was always inevitable like the Spanish Flu was too in 1918. So, the 2020 Covid-19 nightmare could have been predicted and likely was by many medical researchers and in books and movies.

We are living a dystopian nightmare that has been repeated during pandemics and plagues as long as there have been human villages or towns where a virus could spread really well.

As we have seen, it has taken a really long time before it moved out into the country. But now, it has with devastating force to places like the Dakotas and to Arizona and Texas and Florida. And all the people who were rich enough to escape those places have now brought it to Southern and Northern California too.

So, it is now killing everywhere in the U.S. sort of universally to the point where by February we will have lost more people to it than we did in World War II which is a nightmare in itself.

So, once again, only the children who don't know the full truth are sane in their cartoon fairy tales which is exactly like the 1950s where I grew up where we hadn't experienced the real  horrors our parents had already faced in World War II and the Great Depression.

I wondered earlier this year why NO ONE ever spoke about the 1918 Spanish Flu while I was growing up? Now I know.

It's because it is so horrific (sort of like living through a war where everyone dies around you) that no one wants to ever speak of it again when it's over.

However, when we forget our true histories we are sure to repeat them (or our children and grandchildren will).
