Speed Kills
When ever I stumble over my own illusions I tend to take the greatest care. Never have I considered myself naive nor necessarily well informed. I was aware why the Nazis called it the Blitzkrieg: Speed. I wasn't aware that US fighter pilots are required to take speed on long distance flights.
We are not talking about Nancy Reagan and say no to drugs. We are talking about scientifically well understood chemicals. So well understood they have been looking for a replacement with less side effects for forty years. Looks like they might have finally found one and that the reason both for the press release and my stumbling upon this illusion.
It is important, but not really up there. This isn't really about that. I just thought we had less in common with Nazis. One more thing we should be able to solve
As I brushed myself off this illusion connected me to another moment from a song down to the end, "My daughter leaves the hospital and cluster bombs arrive. A pair of anonymous Americans and not one miss, but the market square as well. Why couldn’t one pilot refuse? As a son of the American Revolution I guess I took it a little more personal than most. Those born there understood from how far away he had come. Maybe there were women pilots, they didn’t seem to be."
I wrote that some time ago and seem to have found my answer after so long never searching: speed kills.
There is nothing I hold against the military. They missed most of us. But who are we fighting and with what tactics. Maybe it is time to call the Calvary and start make some reservation spaces. Imagine all the Chinese had to move in a hurry; where would you put them? Just a short acknowledgment of a small passing fancy.
You ask me there is a structure to history and this but a phase. Either we make it through or we don't. In an end I would have no regret...how would you?
Don't believe this and end but 2009 sister less is more. Slow and steady gives life.
