Ray's Thought for the Day - The Cinnamon Bun Blues
Delicious cinnamon bun day was yesterday. Yet, for the first delicious cinnamon day in years, I decided to forego my delicious cinnamon bun, voluntarily. I didn’t get my delicious cinnamon bun. Yes. I am finally tired enough of my delicious cinnamon buns, that I may forego one, once in a while, hoping that my act of self-sacrifice shall promote the common good.
Many believe, in theory, that an event, even a non-event such as personal self-sacrifice, may cause another event to happen. Like what if an evil doer got my foregone delicious cinnamon bun instead of me, and choked to death on it. Dwell on that. All the future evil deeds of that evil doer should then, never, come to pass. Because, he or she is dead, choked to death on a delicious cinnamon bun, meant for me.
But all that is merely wishful thinking. I know now that my foregone delicious cinnamon bun did not fell an evil doer yesterday. How do I know that? There have been no news reports of anyone, evil or otherwise, choking to death on a delicious cinnamon bun. Course, there is always hope. Perhaps the mere choking of a solitary evil doer is not news worthy. I like to think so.
Meantime, the winnowing of the presumptive Kinglet and Queenlet herd continues, especially on the Democratic side. Dang it! More and more, it appears that both the final candidates, shall be avowed Mammonites and both shall be imperialists. Oh well. I knew that would be the outcome all along. Still, there was always hope, no matter how faint.
How could a new Kinglet or Queenlet possibly go up against the Demon Mammon anyway? The Demon Mammon is entrenched in our lifestyle and way of life. He has US by the short hairs.
