OY! Well, when it rains, it pours, as they say. Besides my crazy work situation currently (as noted in my previous Journals), now my computer has evidently caught a "virus" as it keeps disconnecting & shutting down, meaning I have to keep reloading & "debugging" for every comment/reply & sometimes loose stuff. I'm getting my computer guru over to fix it but it's going to take a few days...
Thanks again dearly for your patience & understanding. Hope all is well with everyone...

Journal Update 04/17/2021
A lamentable update to my previous Journal: As even most "educated" people nowadays are misinformed if not ignorant about what the words/terms capitalism, socialism, communism, and even fascism intrinsically mean (though most do realize fascism equates with dictatorship) allow me a brief elucidation, if I may. These various systems are not so much political ideologies of government as they are economic principled systems, albeit the two are inexorably intertwined. Capitalists in the 19th Century loathed Marx’s ideas, of course (still do), notwithstanding his criticisms of its abuses were true. But with the advent of the 20th Century and all the governments/countries since calling themselves socialist or communist being in reality oppressive dictatorships, the words/terms understandably became understood as synonyms for tyranny, and particularly in capitalist democratic countries/societies where the propaganda insured it. Capitalism sees the economic thinking of socialistic ideals as
