THE Purple Fairy on Being Perpleplexed

Being perpleplexed is a natural state for most human beans:  we struggle to understand the rules.  Those of us fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to know the difference between right and wrong feel smug when we just KNOW what is right,  There is a song written by Bob Dylan and covered by several artists:  'God on our Side'.  It tells the story of righteous anger carried into wars in His name.  It says it is okay to do what you want if you believe that God is on your side.  Bob is being sardonic. 

I have just listened to Ms Hilary Clinton launching her defensive attack on the Wiki Leaks.  Putting aside the fact that I am perpleplexed that her hairdresser gets paid for that hair style.....  I am more perpleplexed at her assertion that the leaks will be responsible for the King of Misrule to rule again causing the death and destruction of 'innocent' people.

Dear Ms Clinton, they will not!  You guys have already put that train on the tracks.  So the moderate Arab states wish the head of the serpent be separated from it's body but do not want to wield the sword - really?  You surprise me!  No doubt a willing Western country will do the job for them and in return?  Well let's see, what on earth could the Arab states offer in return?  Ah!  Could that be oil?  Easier to ask someone else to do your dirty work, reward them and then wash your hands. Ask Pontius Pilate.  After all, these pesky Westerners are only to eager to offer themselves as the World's police officer.

So, what do we have with this latest controversy?  We have so called evidence of tittle tattle:  playground stuff :  he said, she said, they said.  Some Heads of State called other Heads of State names - no! really!  An over indulged establishment figure of royal personage said something rude about someone else, was abrupt and, well, behaving in a lower class manner.  And we are surprised because......  ?

What is surprising is Ms Clinton's defence of the edict that went out to staff seeking bio metrical information, passwords and whether someone had racked up enough points for frequent flyer status.  What the hell?  Is there any wonder that the World's citizens are paranoid?  Our elders and betters operate at playground level and we are supposed to show respect?  We are supposed to trust them to govern us?

This entry was meant to be an amusing one, I had almost promised my beloved daughter-in-law and my friend Sandy that it would be, but you know what?  My sense of humour is chilled right now and not just because of the weather...

Take care, stand up for what is right
Love and peace
