Bemusement = the state of being lost in thought,
preoccupied, dazed.
Amusement = the state of being agreebly occupied or entertained.
I take my amusement in my bemusement these days, I guess. The world just keeps on being the world and I spend a lot of my time just shaking my head at it. Look at any day's headlines and you see why.
A thousand years from now, if there is a thousand years from now, people will look back on this period as The Dark Ages.
How is that the people who claim to talk to God, who claim that God talks to them, how is it that these people are so desperately interested in tax cuts for the wealthy, I wonder. I thought you served either God or Mammon. I cannot imagine that God cares too much about tax cuts.
But I babble.... I shake my head....
Uh...Wait a minute...Not all of us believe such things.

Michael, you're right: I paint with too broad a brush sometimes.
