One year ago today, Miley Cyrus, won Best International Song for “Flowers”.
The first verse paints a chilling picture of the modern world:
“We were good, we were gold Kinda dream that can’t be sold We were right ’til we weren’t Built a home and watched it burn.”
I told Joe from Niddrie thatthe world needs a restoration of freedom. He told me a list of other problems he thought took precedence.
Joe believed that conservatives need to stand up for the battler to alter the perception that conservatives only help business.
I observed that American President Franklin Roosevelt described this as creating freedom from want.
Joe added: “We also need the courage for our leaders to condemn what is being done to our children in the gender transitioning clinics and also the damage being done in female sports and not to mention the issues in female change rooms.”
I described these concerns as freedom from fear, freedom for kids to grow up naturally, freedom for parents to be the parents and freedom from injustice in sports.
I compared Joe’s concerns about crime and cost of living with Roosevelt’s concerns for freedom from fear and from want.
For getting more freedom in the world, I finish with quotes from Mikhail Gorbachev whose birthday is today.
“The world will not accept dictatorship or domination.”
“The market is not an invention of capitalism. It has existed for centuries. It is an invention of civilization.”
“It is better to discuss things, to argue and engage in polemics than make perfidious plans of mutual destruction.”
“Democracy must learn to defend itself.”
How much of this type of thinking can lead us to a world where young people do not believe that the homes they build will burn down?

Very talented but her songs just don’t resonate with me and that song I found dull.
Cyrus like Taylor Swift and the other Hollywood crowd are uneducated and try to look smart by pontificating about things about which they are totally ignorant.
I actually LIKE that song - but I never listen to her or Taylor on purpose, LOL!
Just think of it set to Country Western. Then it totally makes sense. It’s just another, ‘He done me wrong, but I’m a strong woman on the rebound...’ song. ;)
When I see the name Miley Cyrus and what I have seen of her, I think of virus and ICK!
