The Oxford English dictionary describes chaos (noun) as complete disorder and confusion.
In keeping with that definition, my mind immediately offers the perfect example of it in, "the sweeping new 'Liberation Day' tariffs are causing total chaos."
I have said it here before and I will say it again, I am not a political person looking to stand a top a soap box and pontificate my opinions. What I will say is that I am generally an intelligent person with a keen grasp of common sense, that follows the political climate. And I can't seem to figure out what the hell is going on!
I am confused at the rhetoric that is perpetuating that Canadians are nasty.
In all the decades I have been crossing into the United States, I have never had a bad interaction with our neighbours (yes that is the correct spelling) - and it is to be hoped they can say the same when visiting us.
I am generally sad that I won't be crossing the border to visit my friends next-door for the next four years. In fact, the thought in general makes me anxious.
Though I will concede that the comments on our becoming the 51st State have calmed since a new Prime Minister was named - I don't think the back and forth surrounding a lot of silly political stuff will stop anytime soon.
...Which is just simply unfortunate, and definitely something I never want to laugh about.
I'm so sorry! I know it isn't my "fault" . . .but I'm still sorry. I can't understand things these days.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I'm sorry too. The actions of a very few, impacting so many millions. I'll miss travelling in your neck of the woods for sure.
DeleteHere's hoping for brighter days.
I, too, (hope, at least) have common sense. "Chaos" is a perfect way to describe things.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, my feelings toward Canada and Canadians are ones of respect and affection. I feel very badly about the craziness (dare I say, chaos?) swirling about us.
Like the "Gulf of America," all this "51st state" talk is idiotic and I pray the vast majority of people think the same.
Won't get into politics (they upset me), but I genuinely love most other people.
Well said! As I mentioned, I am not a political person. I too treat people the way I want to be treated - can't say that for some.
DeleteI would say this is a reasonable take on chaos.
ReplyDeleteI hope it settles soon.
DeleteThese are definitely chaotic times, with enormous collateral damage. We are fighting it down here. One day at a time. Thanks for sharing.
