This is a hard and shocking death…But, I’m glad we finally have solid verification on Tom’s status.

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers put out a lot of music I loved…but, they also kind of faded into the background…so, I didn’t even know about the 2014 album they put out…I knew about the two Mudcrutch ones, though…I have them on a wish list.

How do you summarize a death like this?…He died to young…He was still putting out good albums…

This world is poorer, for the loss of Tom Petty.

In my opinion, the following represents Tom at his absolute best.

Hillary Clinton’s Freudian Slip on Money in Politics is VERY Telling …

01) Hillary Clinton’s Freudian Slip on Money in Politics is VERY Telling

“In an interview with Joy Ann Reid on MSNBC, Hillary Clinton was asked to share her thoughts on what the driving force is behind the Republican Party’s increasingly extremist ideological views and behavior. She instinctively noted their “partisan donors” were the main reason, but then quickly seemed to walk back that statement. She was likely mindful that such an assertion would undermine the argument she’s made about the money she took from Wall Street supposedly not influencing her decisions, and likely didn’t want to look like a hypocrite. Nonetheless, this freudian slip was VERY telling.”

Victim Mentality and Resentment of the Left – Roger Scruton…

01) Victim Mentality and Resentment of the Left – Roger Scruton

“Sir Roger Vernon Scruton is an English philosopher and writer who specialises in aesthetics and political philosophy, particularly in the furtherance of traditionalist conservative views.
In recent years he teached courses in Buckingham University, Oxford University and University of St. Andrews.”

I do think it would be wrong, to fail acknowledging that people on “the right” also use this tactic…[“Look at all these victims!”…”Look at all those abusers!”…”It’s their fault!”].

…I think, by virtue of how “the left” typically organizes and mobilizes…it’s more prone to be seen as synonymous with this behavior.

“The left” isn’t historically where all the money and established power are at…which leaves it up to smaller, weaker, isolated groups to unite with each other…and use their personalized tactics to fight for what they need or want.

“The right”, on the other hand, has been tapping into big business and conservative religion, for many decades…This juggernaut of a base, provides for a wider range of avenues.

…But that hardly means “the right” fails to use any of the tactics available, wherever they become useful to them.
