What Else Are They Going To Do?

I may have written something very similar to this a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (which, at times, is what the beginning of Covid feels like). So please forgive me if it sounds a bit familiar. I promise you it will be different if I had indeed written something similar a while ago. It seems some of these ideas never die, but they grow longer tentacles and uglier faces. So, it is worth revisiting them from time to time.

Usually watching some weird television show or movie is what triggers me to start thinking about this topic. I can’t remember exactly what the program was this time, but typically it is a global espionage thing or an international crime extravaganza. Of course, I am not implying these media concoctions are truthful or accurate; that really doesn’t matter to make my point. When watching these things, I am reminded of what keeps my mind busy as a human being living on this spinning ball (oops…spinning flat disk).
