Yes, a lack of integrity by those who knew better and remained silent, and an overabundance of cowardice on the part of so many are how a worse-than-average flu season helped take down the West. That's the real deadly pandemic.

Now they're prepping us to eat insects. Soon we'll be treated to the spectacle of two "influencers" arguing over whether desiccated worms are tastier than cricket protein.

Rational scorn, of course, is the only way to reply to woke lit. Yours has an appealiing blend of sarcasm and reason.

Just a further thought: for woke to work the public must be shamed by sin, guided by invidious discrimination, obsessed with the fragility of victims, ruled by the gullible and coddled by the feminine. That is to say that a favored person who publicly claims to be the victim of the sin of an unfavored other must be publicly unchallenged, yet rewarded by the sinful public, much as a doting mother would give treats to soothe her whining child whose feelings had been hurt.

I won't bother discussing the "woke joke."

And it is a joke - a dangerous and ubiquitous one.

I had a tee shirt custom made that says

"If you are woke, go to a vet and ask to be put to sleep."

Of course I mean that in a figurative sense - just to be flippant.

If that guy Luce were lucid he would know that his

less-than-intelligent "tweet" was ridiculous. He should

read my tee shirt and do what it suggests.
