Thanks, NS.

Yes, a day of reflection which, thankfully, passed me by as with the pretend pandemic itself.

Perhaps I could add one thought. We are allowed to be individuals when times are relatively well ordered and peaceful. However, when a serious threat appears, we naturally wish to be part of the herd for protection and strength, relegating our individuality to second place until the danger ends.

Of course, with the pretend pandemic, the real threat came from the perpetrators and those individuals who understood and had the evidence of this were rejected by the fear-drenched herd.

Thus, the potential rescuers were cut from the herd exacerbating their own distress and leaving the fearful majority to their fate. Painful for all of us on many levels.

Live long and prosper!

Thailand still seems to be seeing the after-effects of the shots. In the first three months of this fiscal year they collected in inheritance taxes what took six months to generate last year, which itself was a record-setter.

What I wonder is how this story came out: "According to a source from the Finance Ministry who requested anonymity". Is there someone very concerned about what he is seeing?
