If you couldn't tell, I read a lot, and a lot of different things. Amongst the things currently on my reading list is "The Gnostic Gospels" which are those books expunged from "The Bible" for whatever reason. Saying 34 from The Gospel of Thomas is:
Yeshua said,
If a blind person leads a blind person,
both will fall in a hole.
For some reason this saying speaks to me of much of the current situation in the United States. I haven't figured out whether the blind person leading is Trump or Bannon or Trump's "base," but I do know someone isn't leading our country in a fashion appreciated by many.
Even Trump is flip-flopping on his direction, as a few weeks ago he lauded the House healthcare bill, while lately he described it as "mean." I am not sure if this change was due to some bee in his ear, but it is one of his few policy changes I can agree with. People shouldn't be punished financially for being born with allergies or anything else, but a healthcare bill that doesn't protect those with "pre-existing conditions" from higher charges is not really fair, especially when they did nothing to cause and can do nothing to cure said condition.
