Is there any such thing as a coincidence? Does the number
and frequency of coincidences affect the question of whether or not greater significance
should be inferred? Does it matter? Well, only insofar as my own current
experience of multiple coincidences is causing the fog through which I am
presently walking to grow even thicker. The problem is, you see, that while I can
be quite sure I’m not psychotic, I can’t be quite so sure that I’m not delusional.

Meanwhile, a woman Labour MP here in Britain wants
to have misogyny made a hate crime. The weight of legislation continues to
burgeon while the thought police grow ever closer.
Though I decline to be labelled, I would be considered a
liberal in most respects. I’m certainly a strong advocate for empowering women
in matters of respect and opportunity until they reach parity with men (as long
as Mother Nature’s view is not pushed aside in the process.) But I have my reservations.
It seems to me that we’re moving gradually closer to the point where everyone
whose views detract from the shibboleths must be called a criminal and punished
accordingly. Isn’t that a rather dangerous road to be walking?
