Reflections From a Murky Pond

They say that the only constant is change and, in one sad respect, they’re largely right. Unless society remains ever vigilant, basic mores and attitudes will devolve into horrendous caricatures of past glories.

As the venal and ultimately meaningless are some of the best indicators of societal devolution, one need only look to fashion and beauty norms for examples of this.

In A Better Age These Ads Worked

From the 1930s through as late as the 1960s ads like one above were common and successful. This is because American society still believed that women should look women as opposed to stringy, prepubescent boys with grapefruit stitched to their chests.

Note, however, that I describe that time as a better age, not a perfect one. Society was still placing too much value on female beauty and still demanding that women’s bodies fit into a certain mold to be considered beautiful. It was just a far more realistic and healthy mold.

As all Americans – and even a large number of Liberals, though essentially NO Blacks – know, Obama is a pathological liar unable to speak the unadulterated truth except in the rarest and most unintentional of instances.

To-date Obama’s singular truth has been one of those rare, unintentional instances. It was when Obama said that energy prices would “necessarily skyrocket” under his regime.

Obama Gas Station In Detroit, MI

Even this wasn’t a totally unadulterated truth. Obama didn’t manage to get all of his energy agenda enacted. Yet, even so, fuel and electricity costs have risen under his regime, largely due to his and his coterie’s incessant attacks upon the energy sector.

This video of one of the most elaborate marriage proposals that I’ve ever seen showed up in my Facebook newsfeed a while ago. While I doubt, given its source and the seriously high production value, that it’s real, it struck me somewhat oddly.

Because of the way I think I’m forced to wonder, if this was a real proposal, is it perhaps the most beautiful and romantic proposal in recent public memory or an equally egregious case of one person cynically manipulating another for his own ends?

Since I know that my mind doesn’t work like most people’s, why don’t you readers tell me what you think of this proposal?

For the record – in case you couldn’t guess – I found it to be a cynically manipulative ploy because it forced the women to either accept the proposal or both a hugely public scene and basically tell her friends and family that she didn’t respect their opinions.

It says a lot, a none of it good, about much of the population within America that they treat rural America as almost a joke.

Rural America Is Lush Country

But then rural America is a lush country, fond of: enjoying and giving comforts; not afraid to show their colors; and not hung up on the urban fashion sense of anorexia.

Y’all got to understand, it’s not just our roads that’ve got curves and we like it that way. 😉

We all believe in the value and rightness of keeping schools safe. It’s just that Americans and Liberals virulently disagree on how to do this. Americans don’t understand or approve of the Leftists’ policies towards firearms and thing that vaguely resemble firearms.

It’s pointless to list the many, many, many instances of the Liberal run school system punishing children for things that very vaguely resembled firearms or other weapons. The list of their offences is just too long to be provided here.

But let’s take Liberals’ “logic” to the next step…

The “L” And The “F” Need To Be Banned!

The only reason this isn’t side-splitting, belly-laughing funny is that it’s no more extreme and no more stupid than what the Liberals running American schools are already doing.
