Money and Other Subjects

Sherlock Holmes On Democracy

May 12, 2023May 11, 2023

One minute.

It’s sappy, but so apt.

Then, World War II was raging — a war between fascism and democracy.

At the time the film was made, democracy was by no means the sure winner.

Now we’re in the midst of a hot war in Ukraine and a cold war everywhere else between authoritarianism and democracy, fascism and democracy, white supremacism and democracy . . . and as Trump climbs in the polls with each new indictment or conviction, and those on his side are much more heavily armed than the rest of us and more inclined toward violence and economic suicide (this Trump versus that one) . . . it’s not certain democracy will prevail.

I’m pretty sure it will.  It must.  But not if we don’t do all we can to help.



Happy Mother’s Day!

On the wishing of which, your fellow reader Glenn Sonnenberg offers these excellent “musings.”

Trigger warnings are dangerously if not ludicrously over-woke and play into the hands of those who paint the left as having lost its mind.

Share his musings!



Have a great week-end.

Quote of the Day

"Money may be the husk of many things but not the kernel. It brings you food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; acquaintance, but not friends; servants, but not loyalty; days of joy, but not peace or happiness."

Henrik Ibsen
