I Realize you Might not Happen to Agree, But This is How I See it Anyway

P.S. My mistake  was simply not realizing that the 'secret' to my dilemma lay in not adequately deciphering the *anagramous 'code' to my would-be sweetheart's true attitude to Yours Truly...which was simply 'NOT I'... *Yes, strictly speaking that should be 'anagrammatical', but who's keeping count (of such pedantry)... P.P.S. And That (Title Comment) includes Alex Salmond, former 'First Minister' of the 'Semi-Autonomous Republic' of Scotland, who, despite the very best - or should that be worst - efforts of a zealous group of would-be character assassins, has recently emerged with flying colours - declared "Not Guilty!" by a jury of his peers... ...because the truth sometimes still does 'out', even in this temporal life (though of course it ever will ultimately in the 'land over yonder')...

Baffled, bamboozled, flummoxed, flabbergasted... and all the rest vis-a-vis precisely what I'm on about here? You need guess no longer... I'm - among many other things - simply alluding to the clear as daylight discrepancy, so commonplace these days (and weeks, and months, and years, and even decades) - between the (mainstream) media's constant singling out of the likes of a certain American President for each and every and any pronouncement he may well choose to make (admittedly, oftentimes not only inadvertently, but wholly inappropriately) about whatever subject is on his mind at the time and/or presented to him by those addressing/questioning/interviewing him... ... whilst wholly overlooking and/or deliberately, wilfully ignoring  other 'responses' that may in fact not be altogether different... and herein I'm directly alluding to a small nation in Scandinavia whose singular approach to the Coronavirus/Covid-19 presently encircling/enveloping/enfoldin...

To Be Continued... Or, as the 700 Club's *special guest upon the Coronavirus/Covid-19 the other day, a fellow (doctor to be precise) by the incredible name of Daniel Amen, the author of a tome entitled The End of Mental Illness , reflected: "We need to disinfect not only our hands, but our thoughts." Nuff Said. *Among many, although the principal one is usually the long-standing health reporter **Lorie Johnson, whose health commentary is up-to-the-minute, and invariably not only eminently sensible but moreover light years ahead of the orthodox 'healthcare' establishment...throughout the Western world... **Hopefully my spelling's up to speed, but I'll check it out whenever I get the chance...

March 27th (Sorry, Folks, Events Have - Long Since - Gotten Way Past Me, and Then Some...): And so I forgot to add 'To Be Continued' as per usual...meaning to add (at least the following)... Though to suggest -  as, *if not he, then certainly (some of) his political/ideological fellow-travellers, have - that 'seniors' (senior citizens)  'owe it'  to their own nation (the U S of A, in this instance) **' to take a hit ' (on behalf of their fellow citizens), thus to effectively serve as collateral damage 'for the team'... ...is so despicable as to be quite frankly beneath a response... *Apparently the (Republican) Governor of Texas (or some such)... **Not the precise words used, I'm sure...but quite clearly the sense intended... 

And I even thought/felt that post-9/11, and post-the advent of Sissii Internationale (i.e. Isis) onto the global stage...and post-Extinction Rebellion and all its associated climate activist fellow-travellers... The precise quote, folks, is as follows (despite not yet having re-located the precise reference): The movement from place to place will soon be hedged up with all kinds of difficulties.

The New Zealand National Party better watch itself, as thus far it seems to be wrong-footing itself bigtime over this unprecedented global health crisis... ...otherwise it runs/stands the serious risk of majorly coming unstuck as a result... Some of the(ir) criticism may well be - indeed most certainly is  - valid: just refer to my own blogpost the other day (upon this blogsite!)...for example folk not being tested (at our borders) when they clearly ought to have been... No matter, what NZers will see is only  a typically, predictably partisan and party political, petty point-scoring 'oppose at all costs and under all circumstances' Dis -'loyal Opposition' seeking to make a meal of each and every questionable - or perceived - permutation of the crisis, attempting to make traction at a most inopportune moment upon a wholly unsuitable issue... Fair enough points indeed - i.e. re 'permanent-izing' the beneficiary boost (and possibly the winter energy assis...

...and, withal, very specifically and well-targeted, excepting the following: * an extremely negligible, even irresponsibly lax, approach vis-a-vis... #the lack of any, let alone proper, airport/seaport - MANDATORY - quarantining of arrivals (whether kiwi 'returnees' or otherwise), let alone even testing of the same, relying wholly and entirely upon a fairly shaky, shonky expectation of self-isolation by the selfsame... #continuing to allow the arrival of cruise ships - apparently no longer come Sunday next - surely a sure-fire vehicle for the rapid 'dissemination' of the Coronavirus were any desired/needed/required! And for an international city such as my own *sparsely-populated Dunedin, with its plethora of cruise ship visits throughout our 'long - and this year far from - hot summer', alongside the recent arrival back of thousands of university students, a large proportion of whom come from other parts of the globe, quite apart from New Zealand -  s...
