Dead and wounded women and children and little babies were all along here where they had been trying to run away. Sometimes bunches of them had been killed and torn to pieces where the wagon guns hit them. I saw a little baby trying to suck its mother, but she was bloody and dead. Black Elk spoke of these activities from America's past.
Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!" Check out my new site . . . www.curt-rude.com

London Bridge Terror
Europe experiences an attack today. Afghanistan is now the longest running conflict in the United State's history. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong. I'm proud of my study involving the problem in The Passionate Jihadist.

Nothing New
Political Correctness or whatever ya call it goes back and back. What would Carlin think about the going on's today?
I got to thinking . . . hey what about The Far Side? Wow. This from a reader . . . "I was deeply saddened when The Far Side cartoon depicting a trussed cat hanging by its tail appeared in our local newspaper." Guess some folks have a sense of humor that runs in a different direction than Gary Larson and myself.

Brand of Justice All Over Again
In total, among all known exonerees, Americans have shelled out a staggering $4.12 billion to incarcerate innocent men and women since 1989, according to a Yahoo Finance analysis. That’s largely money spent on trials, and the cost of housing inmates in prison. According to the Bureau of Prisons, in the fiscal year 2017, the average cost to house a prisoner was over $36,000 a year in federal facilities.
Since the Supreme Court temporarily halted executions in 1972, at least 166 condemned inmates have been exonerated before their death sentences could be carried out. (Executions resumed in 1977 after states began revising their laws to comply with the high court ruling.) Advocates say that some innocent men have also been executed since then, including Cameron Todd Willingham, whom Texas put to death in 2004.

What is PTSD?
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder happens when an individual experiences a horrifying ordeal that involves physical harm or the threat of physical harm. The physical harm or threat could have happened to the individual with PTSD, or the individual could have witnessed it happen to a loved one or a stranger. PTSD was first brought to public attention in relation to war veterans but a variety of traumatic events can cause PTSD.

Oh Them Silly Politicians
So American Troops are withdrawn exposing American Allies (Kurds) to them nasty Turks. But wait a sec . . . the Turks are American Allies also. Then President Trump heads to Minneapolis after making sure $500 thousand dollars worth of security was in place. But wait one dog-gone-minute here, he is in favor of the NRA. The Common Man can't spring for that kinda security. This is a Strange Zoo and The Keeper ain't You.
