Higher Vision

Feelin' cute, might firebomb a Zales later.

FYI: the terms Right and Left come from the sides of Assembly Hall in Paris where the constitution for the new Republic of France was being drafted after the French Revolutionaries won and beheaded the king and many of the nobility. The surviving nobility, arguing for a restoration of the monarchy and known as royalists, monarchists, or restorationists, sat on the Right wing of the hall. The revolutionaries, arguing for a democratic republic, sat on the Left. Not much has changed. Look behind the populist facade and you'll find a GOP that is thoroughly dominated by wealthy industrialists and financiers descended directly from the royal houses of Europe. Barons, Earls, Dukes, Counts, Kings, Princes, etc. The DuPonts, Gettys, Rockefeller's, Vanderbilts, Bushes, and on and on and on.... The "Right" is literally anti-republic AND anti-democracy. They want to return to the days of the original multi-national corporation: the Dutch East India Company, and its English brother, the East India Company, more wealthy and powerful than any government or national army on earth, claiming divine right of power over all the planet, literally bestowed by GOD through their "noble" bloodlines, colonizing everything as empire and claiming it, including people-- as serfs, slaves, indentured servants, employees, tenants-- as their property. Yes, this IS reality. Or as Pink Floyd sings, "No, this is not a bad dream."

XX athletes should not have to compete physically against XY athletes in a world where ethics exist. Take all the subjective or arbitrary "gender" labels out of it. This isn't about bathrooms, or identification, or equal rights in civil society. This is about the athletic arena, where XY athletes, like the two boxers in the Olympics (and many others), have myriad undisputed advantages from birth by way of the XY chromosomes in their cells, which are defined by the sciences of biology and genetics as "male." I don't care who they marry, which locker room they use, or what their passports say-- that's none of my business. But "In 2019, the Court of Arbitration for Sport found a “striking overrepresentation” of athletes with XY DSD on the female podium, going back decades." -- Washington Post. That's not fair play.
