And Since We're Not All Singing from the Same Songsheet, Perhaps It's - Long Past - Time for our 'omniscient', omnipresent and (wannabe be) omnipotent (Western) media to finally admit as much...and forthwith desist attempting to fit us all into the same, as in their preordained, mould -as per 'Covid-19'/the 'Coronavirus', that is...but dreams are ever free, as they say...

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/enfolding the globe is if anything, the nth degree more extreme than President Trump's - or at least what 'The Donald's' approach was...

 Oddly and incredibly enough for this pleb and blogger, that tiny (population-wise) place is none other than the land of my own (long dead) ancestors, Sweden...which adjoins the other nation of my forebears, Denmark, which ironically enough has adopted an approach the complete opposite...

Does that explain why I've always felt so mixed up and been a seriously conflicted individual since I set foot upon this earthen sod?

 Please don't answer...anytime quick, anyhow...

And Likewise, Though I've Most Assuredly No Brief Whatsoever for the Man Who (Ultimately) Unsuccessfully Led the Confederate Army Against the North(ern states)/Lincoln's Yankees, Robert A Lee...To Indulge in Such Acts of Cultural Vandalism Proves Nothing More Nor Less than that you are Among the Likes of Those Philistines Who Two Decades Ago in Afghanistan Toppled That Tremendous 800-odd Foot Statue of the Buddha - Displaying to an Incredulous World the Fact that Such Luddites and Ignoramuses Still Existed in Our Supposedly 'Modern' World; Though I Recall that Supreme Example of (Post 9/11) 'Enlightenment', Sissii Internationale - Bosom Buddies with Such Equally Primitive/Medieval and Barbaric (Sub-Saharan) African Counterparts as Hocus Bedlam and Les Shebabs - Doing Likewise

...though in the 'latter' instance, i.e. vis-a-vis Sissii International's determined and seemingly successful efforts to eradicate the wonderful cultural artifacts of the ancient city of Palmyra - much as its African cousins did in that classical(ly named) centre of pre-civilization, i.e. Timbuktu  - the historian tasked with keeping its museum etc was valiantly prepared to 'be faithful unto death' (as the Book of Revelation  might have put it) in defending it to the death (as it sadly ultimately proved)...

"I Will NOT Pose for your camera/s, My/our faith is not for show": So - apparently - once said a poor Appalachian (or thereabouts) pastor at the conclusion of a funeral service out in the wilds of Pennsylvania to America's popular, one-time TV Show Host Phil Donahue...in remarks now forever after 'immortalized' in and by the well-respected radio evangelist Charles ('Chuck') Swindoll...and they are of no less relevance and vital import and bearing today, whether in the U S of A or here in lil ole God's Own/Godzone...

Though 'it ain't necessarily so', as in so many things reported by today's self-anointed purveyors of truth and reality - who despite seemingly never-ending claims to 'the facts' whilst all other comers (and goers) are supposedly peddling fake news , and generous helpings thereof, themselves so often leave much to be desired insofar as really, truly giving viewers, readers and listeners 'the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth' is concerned, the 'real doss' so to speak - it is a tad concerning (and, what's more, 'worrying') when(ever) any  people in the public eye, let alone 'leaders' in the community (and other assorted 'movers and shakers' in society) use  their (supposed) 'faith' and/or religious pedigree as a kind of prop for public consumption...   And thus and so we had the spectacle of President Trump awhile ago, following the spontaneous eruption of protests and riots throughout the States...
