the war on adulthood

A baby will grow up. A “modern reader” won’t.

Even the world’s all-time best-selling novelist isn’t safe from today’s censors and rewrite roaches. Yes, they’re even rewriting Agatha Christie (https://deadline.com/2023/03/agatha-christie-hercule-poirot-miss-marple-classic-mysteries-rewritten-modern-readers-1235310224/).

The crawling squid at Harper Collins want to make her mystery novels more–I don’t know what: stupid?–un-scary?–to “modern readers,” whatever they are, have decided to rewrite Agatha Christie’s tales of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. White out (oops! can I say that?) any word or sentence that might conceivably offend, wound, disturb, or cheese off some nonbinary toadstool out there.

Didn’t we use to despise the old Soviet Union for doing stuff like this? Don’t we laugh at the ancient Egyptians for vandalizing some of their own monuments by chiseling out the names of historical figures that had fallen from favor? For making like history never happened?

Move over, Roald Dahl! Move over, Ian Fleming! Agatha Christie needs her seat on the “Censored” bench.

I don’t believe that any novel ever written and published can do anything like the harm done by self-appointed Far Left censors.

They want to keep us in strollers, sucking on pacifiers, forever.

Coronavirus: Dr. Fauci on why 'television baseball' could work - Los Angeles Times

“Just shut up and do what you’re told–all of you!”

Wow! And you thought you were out of grade school, out from under getting grounded by your folks. You thought you were an adult.

Dr. Fauci says you’re not. Not really. Not to any degree that he or any other [trumpet fanfare] Scientist has to respect.

Fauci the Virus Czar acknowledges that the American people have “an independent spirit” which is now getting in the way of The Science: “I can understand that, but now is the time to do what you’re told” (https://nypost.com/2020/11/13/anthony-faucis-new-covid-19-guidance-do-what-youre-told/). Presto! You’re back in middle school gym class.

Meanwhile Doddering Joe, who thinks he’s the president, has promised nationwide lockdowns, nationwide mask mandates, etc. If you voted for him, you have done a bad and foolish thing.

Why are they treating COVID-19 as if it were the deadliest disease the world has ever known? I can think of only two reasons. Either A), It really is super-horrible-doomsday-etc. and there’s something about it that they haven’t told us yet; or B) This is just the most glorious excuse they’ve ever had to take control of other people’s lives and pile up more power and money for themselves.

Does anybody out there actually believe this schiff? Are we or are we not getting the biggest damned hosing in all of history? Of which the recent stolen-election caper is only a part!

This is what happens when government has no fear of the governed. Thomas Jefferson told us so. We should have listened.
