I don't know much about British politics so I'm not really qualified to comment much on that. From what I can tell, they are already having buyer's remorse about exiting the EU, but who knows.<br /><br />As for our crazy politics; Trump is a con-man and has become popular by appealing to the most base instincts of our society. Fear and division. Racism and nationalism. It's really very ugly and to be honest most people I know, even Republicans and conservatives, are in disbelief that he has even become a viable candidate. I think we are all still in denial and/or think the candid camera reveal will be coming soon and that this is all a bad joke.<br /><br />In any case, it's an entertaining time for us all. Grab your popcorn.Ben Therehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552547709669462400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335611828023778237.post-19393541284788154152016-07-21T23:04:55.992-07:002016-07-21T23:04:55.992-07:00Hello Ben

Big ch...Hello Ben<br />Hope all is OK with you and yours<br />Big changes coming for US I think. Britain is having her BIG CHANGE re EU withdrawal - a good thing I feel. I don't know how much you get about the British political party UKIP but if you see anything of Nigel Farage (the party leader)on YouTube you can't help but admire him. I wonder if Trump will do the same for US - they both work hard. Hopefully they will make the world a better place to live in. I know we in Australia see the world differently than the rest of the world as we are so far removed from the serious events even to the point of not really believing most of news broadcasts (chuckle).<br />I note the dates of my previous posts and see I am early, have a safe and happy rest of the year anyway. <br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335611828023778237.post-50592329223028234942015-12-28T20:21:22.360-08:002015-12-28T20:21:22.360-08:00Tony!

Thanks for the comments and thanks for ...Hey Tony,<br /><br />Thanks for the comments and thanks for reading. A few weeks ago I went back and read over a number of my old entries here and I really enjoyed them. I figured I would be slightly embarrassed by them because we change over time but I actually felt pretty good about what I read. I find that it's fun to go back and see what I was thinking/writing about a few years ago. Inspired me to try to start doing one a week, which unfortunately I already messed up by missing last week! Ah well. I will be trying to keep up the once a week thing just as a personal challenge. Always glad to see you stopping by.Ben Therehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552547709669462400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335611828023778237.post-90620758870895286292014-12-09T01:55:27.977-08:002014-12-09T01:55:27.977-08:00Hello Ben

My favourite idiom conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRG7fZuQSk0<br />.<br />re: Something Novel<br />Do you feel the same way about writing your novel as you do about your guitar playing – go for it!<br />A fire in your belly helps (Oren Trask to Tess McGill – Working Girl).<br />.<br />re: Ferguson<br />Mmm... I get angry about our aboriginal 'deaths in custody' – nothing like what you have in US re b/w. History is a very hard event to overcome.<br />.<br />Thanks for continuing to write Ben, at least you know I read your essays.<br /><br />Be well<br />TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
