I made it back to Saigon after 50 years, and I sat at a cafe waiting for 5 o'clock, and then came the always reliable rain squall that I never forgot.. It was a very emotional момент, as if the rain was bringing all those memories back. I was in the Delta with a fast moving engineer battalion - I lived with the Vietnamese people, the Arvns, the Rangers, Green beanies, 2 man Advisors, the Cambodian, . The Delta Rice People and the Mekong was a completely different Vietnam. It will always be - Saigon.
Speaking of Buddha, reincarnation and Angry White Pussies made me think of these lines from One Way Down by Nashville Pussy, a raucous group with some hilarious commentary on rural American excess:
"...Well, in the beginning, you know it's the truth
God had a big bag of monkeys, he went and set 'em loose
But their fucking and fighting got him madder each day
He sent down a super chimp and this is what he say
One way down, I ain't hanging round for long
Write down what I say and don't get it wrong
One way down, now that you've been warned
Please nail me up, send me back home..."
The chorus is reminiscent of the current predicament:
If I were to guess, the comment from Sulu is either completely computer generated or a troll comment specifically designed to elicit a negative reaction. There is no shame in simply ignoring what is essentially an annoying passenger on the bus looking for attention by making incoherent irritating noises.
Meaning "Jewish Unz," I wrote "Jewish Trump"! I've just caught and corrected the mistake. A very weird confusion. I'm not sure what it means, if anything.
Some people think humankind made its worst error in inventing agriculture - life as a hunter-gatherer was the best modus vivendi - being a part of nature like all the other animals. Plant slavery and also animal slavery and also people slavery - could they have been avoided? But hindsight is always 20/20. Is there a creator god? Is there an afterlife? Is "love god, and love your neighbour as yourself" what people are supposed to do? Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And may U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein, who should have retired at least ten years ago, rest in peace. And may President Joe Biden retire soon as well. May peace be with us all.

Thanks, Linh. I am always so grateful to read one of your excellent essays!

and that ain't no joke
your ass is on fire
you can't even smell the smoke..."
Are you listening America?

Hi Frank,
My bigger point is that Jewish Unz allows such comments. He's the Jerry Springer, another Jew, of alternative media.

Hi everyone,
Meaning "Jewish Unz," I wrote "Jewish Trump"! I've just caught and corrected the mistake. A very weird confusion. I'm not sure what it means, if anything.

"Pity any American born after 9/11..."
I pity any American born after 1940. At 89 years, I'm glad that I'll soon be out of this madhouse called life.

One of your best commentaries, Linh. Maybe I'm just in the correct frame of mind to acknowledge the message...
That was a good one, I know what you mean about listening to great jazz or perhaps walking out to the Pulpit Rock in Norway too often. Rgds, jim b.
