Posting Ahead Sometimes Backfires
BlogMyyyyyAsssss is a one-man operation, as most blogs are, and producing readable content is time consuming. As such, I collect material creating shortcuts in a folder on my desktop and they accumulate. As time allows, I cut, paste, edit, invent, re-invent, and plain work on this material. I've gotten out of daily posting and post every couple of days in order that I not be tied down to this keyboard forsaking my real life.Posting in bulk and posting in advance are two ways to achieve a personal life, but sometimes it backfires on me and I have a chore fitting in something that should have been posted earlier - this is one such post, ergo the date above says, 'Late Entry'. I posted seven items Friday night before I went to bed only to get out of bed Saturday to read Snugg Harbor, one of my daily reads. The story attributed to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright pissed me off and I had to get my thoughts up right away. She says: The above thinking reminds me of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain back in 1938 when another devil was flexing his might in Europe. Chamberlain's 'talking to the devil' resulted in WWII. Think about that for a bit and consider the loss of life and liberty that followed 'talking to the devil'. You may not be aware, but England had friends in Germany before the outbreak of war that knew Hitler for what he really was and they were prepared to remove Hitler if Chamberlain would back them. That never happened as Chamberlain was intent to go the negociating route thinking that the word of 'the devil' could be taken as promised in a document signed by both. The following is the wording of the printed statement that Neville Chamberlain waved as he stepped off the plane on 30 September, 1938 after the Munich Conference had ended the day before: We, the German Fuhrer and Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister, have had a further meeting today and are agreed in recognizing that the question of Anglo German relations is of the first importance for our two countries and for Europe. We regard the agreement signed last night and the Anglo German Naval Agreement as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again. We are resolved that the method of consultation shall be the method adopted to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to remove possible sources of difference, and thus to contribute to assure the peace of Europe. Chamberlain read the above statement in front of 10 Downing St. and said: My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time... Go home and get a nice quiet sleep. As the side panel says, 'We are at war with terror'. History shows us you can't negociate with the devil. To them we are infidels who have to be all murdered in the name of their 'religion'. To my neighbors to the south of me, I suggest that now is not the time to waiver. It is time to fully realize that you and I are at war with another devil which has to be eliminated no matter what. Forget your politics until this threat has been dealt with by supporting your President, your military, and your moral obligation to keep your country a free democracy.
