Dan Carlin, common sense.

I don't know if you read the story about the former leader of Bangladesh being sentenced to death for her part in three weeks of violence on the part of Bangladesh's military that had been ordered to crack down on protesters,

and in three weeks they killed 1,400 of them.

And obviously, the people in that country are angry at the person who ordered that,

and she's in big trouble.

The good news for people like us living in a place like the United States

is that we have a lot of safeguards in our system intended to make any weird occurrence like that extremely unlikely.

If any of those safeguards were challenged, that would be reason enough to get me out of my cave overdue as I am on all my work and dealing with what many

of you were dealing with two 20-25 is a tough year and a lot of people understand that would take a

lot to get me you know out of what I was doing that I really want to finish and come and do a

common sense show it would take somebody sort of chipping away

at some of those protections that make it unlikely,

anything like what happened in Bangladesh,

whatever happened here, and yet here I am.

There's a lot of chaff out there in our society right now

that is obscuring the really important things. And there's not a ton of really

important things, but the ones that are there, it's hard to tell the difference between those

and whatever crap is thrown around in order to make it harder to see the important

diamonds in the rough.

Steve Bannon has a phrase for that.

And I'm going to paraphrase it.

It's flooding the zone with crap.
