A tale for our time - a thought that brings both a disillusioned sense that little has changed in 150 years but also a sense that things can
For folks of “a certain age” (which I am not telling if I do or do not fall into that category), prolific songwriter and performing artist Carole King provided what could be the official soundtrack to their adolescence.

I pride myself on not being a paranoid person. I really don't want to become a conspiracy theorist (seems like a lot of work). I like to believe the world is basically safe and that people are inherently good and trustworthy. When I see some people argue that 9/11 was a government plot to...actually, I never understood what or why the government wanted to kill so many Americans, but I recall thinking the explanation sounded like a devilishly grand, yet unlikely 'scheme' for mayhem. However, when a friend recently posted a meme on Facebook showing that CNN and MSNBC were recognizing Pfizer as one of their sponsors, I felt a twinge of panic. So, is Pfizer giving money to CNN to get its newscasters to tell people to get the Pfizer Covid vaccine so that the government will give more money to Pfizer? WHAT?!? Is there really an evil ploy at work here? How could I have been so naïve? Is our American system and way of life corrupt and driven by cold, hard cash? Yes, and definitely yes.
