Syrian Nerve Gas

A couple points from the news last night.


  1. Throwing bombs at Syria is more likely to kill civilians than military targets. Does the USA want to double the death toll of the nerve gas attacks? That's what throwing missiles around will do. Its insane.
  2. A congressmen suggested we call for a peace conference in a neutral country so the various factions of the civil war can talk instead of kill each other. This has been the only positive suggestion. 
  3. Talk of firing missiles into Syria has scared the Stock Market even worse. Democrat Baby Boomers that voted for the current president have their retirement funds in US stocks. When the market goes down, they get poorer. The Boomers who opposed Vietnam but whose president expanded the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan now wants us in Syria. Irony. 
I look forward to the next presidential election because the current guy has insured we'll always see Jimmy Carter as the more effective President, practically successful in comparison. Until this guy, he was the low point, the worst president in history. Let's hear it for record setting! 

The Rim fire is even bigger, 280 square miles and growing. The smoke is visible this morning, filling the Sacramento Valley with brown murk, whose top is a few hundred feet below me, thank goodness. This meant that the air is largely clear and I was able to go for a good hard walk up the hill to a local park and get in the exercise I need. I will do that again later today. I really need it. 

I can't do a thing about bombing Syria and mass murder of civilians. I can't fix the fear in the Bear Market. The Democrat Baby Boomers voted for this, so this is what they got. 

A little humor about Obamacare tax boondoggle. 
Of course, that turns into this: 

Doing anything to Syria is Lose-Lose. Leave it alone. It's tragic and awful and Syria is protected by Iran and Russia. There's no good outcome by throwing more violence at it. Ask for peace talks.
