So said CS Lewis, author of such works as The Chronicles of Narnia. In his A Reply to Professor Haldane Lewis he said 

" Every tyrant must begin by claiming to have what his victims respect and to give what they want. The worst of all public dangers is the committee of public safety.

I must, of course, admit that the actual state of affairs may sometimes be so bad that a man is tempted to risk change even by revolutionary methods; to say that desperate diseases require desperate remedies and that necessity knows no law. But to yield to this temptation is, I think, fatal. It is under that pretext that every abomination enters. Hitler, the Machiavellian Prince, the Inquisition, the Witch Doctor, all claimed to be necessary. "

After over a year of not seeing my eldest daughter, Redhead and I had the great pleasure of a visit from my daughter and her youngest son this morning. She is in her mid 40's, a drop dead gorgeous blonde who is about to complete her PhD . She is no dizzy blonde and has worked hard all her adult life to become a very successful woman. Happily married, kids, full time work and someone of whom I am very proud. 

With all the border closure rubbish, lockdowns and social distancing crapola that has been going on throughout 2020, it was a short but long anticipated get together that had only one rule: no discussion of Politics.

Li-Meng Yan, the Virologist who claimed COVID-19 originated in a military lab and that China and the World Health Organisation covered up facts about its human contagion early on has certainly attracted a lot of attention. Not all of it welcome.

She left Hong Kong and fled to America, saying 

'I Know How They Treat Whistleblowers'

If you are anything like me, you may find it all hard to understand. This series of images delves in to her claims that the Virus Was Made In A Lab... compiled by Big Bear  source: 

The 20th Amendment says “the terms of the president and vice president shall end at noon” on January 20....“the terms of their successors shall then begin.” That is all very well and good, but if their successors have yet to be determined because of mail in voting, the outcome is a worrying one indeed.

People have been touting Nancy Pelosi as the " caretaker " because she is Speaker of the house. HOWEVER, it is reasonable to assume that if the election outcome is not known, then there would  be a distinct possibility that there would be no House. The terms of all members of the House would end, as stated in the Constitution, on January 3
