Friends, I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. I am sadly amused by a joke I received on January 8th “I’ve had the seven day free trial for 2021—I’d like to cancel my subscription.”IT’S NOT A VIDEO GAME During the armed attack on the Capitol, I was struck with the juvenile nature of many of the participants, including the guys in helmets with horns, painted faces and other idiocy. I don’t mean to minimize the participation of the well-armed militias, die-hard racists, anti-Semites and defenders of the “lost cause.” These people constitute a very real threat—one that I fear we will be living with for a while. But as I watched some of these marauders walking through the Capitol, I noticed some percentage with “oh golly” looks on their faces, walking through the Capitol while staying inside the stanchions set up for tourists. That’s when I realized that some of these morons may think they were playing an extension of some sort of video game. Just a bunch of “good old boys” out on a fun field trip.
