Why Aren't There 'Woke' Debates?

 There's probably a thousand questions in my mind (continually) which are unanswerable (examples: is there a color for a mirror, or why hopeless romantics are usually single for their entire life, or is Brittney Spears crazy-crazy or just a person addicted to doing crazy stuff).  

Someone in the past week or two brought up the question....why aren't there 'woke' debates.  It's a good question, but there is no true answer.

Typically, a guy/gal who says they are 'woke'....then gets drawn to a debate over their 'woke' feeling....doesn't really want to discuss the wokeness, the draw to the agenda, or explain themselves.  It reminds one in various ways of people who are cult-members but never want to explain why.

Is there a rehab for woke folks?  As far as I know....no clinic has diagnosed it as a 'problem' or started up a rehab program for folks in this situation.  

A 'recovering' woke person?  There's probably hundreds of thousands....but most probably don't want to admit they got woke, because it's pretty silly to admit this.

As for debating things?  Usually, in business, science and philosophy....debate is helpful and helps to move some idea forward or identify the idea as pretty lame.  

So this is all useless?  I would suggest that merely offering up a coffee to a woke guy/gal....to talk over the Braves pitching staff, or transmission problems, or the useless sport factor of golf....ought to be attempted, with the intent to start a drifting conversation on other topics.  Then thirty minutes into this 'talk'....the woke-guy will suddenly realize that you got him deep into defending his sacred woke-pattern, and he can't defend it.  

I'm not saying you ought to be sneaky.....but you might find this tactic to be something to deprogram the poor individual and bring them back to reality.

Dossier Number Two?

 This week, we learned that the secret-agent team over in the UK....produced up a second Donald Trump Dossier.  This one....is supposed to be everything that happened once he became President, and has juicy Russian-slut stories, etc....well...that's the hint.

The odds that the secret-agent crew is producing DT-Dossier number three for November 2024's election, and has a agent or two working on DT-Dossier number four for the period after the election?

At some point, you start to lose respect for the secret-agent crowd and feel like they ought to stick with Tom Cruise movie-script ideas, or hire themselves out to the Iranians for steady checks.

The fact that decent newspapers fall into the dossier-pit and try to hype secret-agent theories?  Well...these are the same newspapers that failed to discuss Hunter Biden or any of his antics....so you don't really put much trust in their marginal reporting.  

As for the KGB guys feeding these idiots the fake stories?  They go back to the local Moscow pub and laugh over how stupid the Brit secret-agent guys are, and that they generally believe anything they are told.  

Just Another Thing To Worry About

 Daily Caller made the topic into a 40-line story.

An estimate occurred (so it's not truly factual)....but the folks at Bellwether Education Partners says in their summary....around three million school-kids across the US....just plain stopped going to classes (virtual or in person) as the Covid era started up.

They didn't break them up into age groups or go state by state (would have been nice to know that).

The odds that they will return?  How would you 'herd' them back into the system, and are they more than 1-year behind?

Do we really need a bunch (2-to-3 million) of burger-flippers?

Another curious question to ask.....what exactly did the 3-million 'kids' do for the past 16 months?  Did they hang out at malls?  Did they master video games?  Did the older 'kids' become involved in romantic relationships?  Did they mostly sit and play 'fetch' with the family dog?  Did they 'weed-up'?

For some reason, I think we have a pretty dynamic problem brewing and it's going to be fairly serious over the next three or four years.
