I Never Asked For Nothin’

DK Harris

I NEVER ASKED FOR NOTHING

                                             DK Harris

(country/folk melody with a twang and a hard guitar-edge)

(Verse1)
Now I heard last night you were lookin’ for me
These days I’m a little hard to find
Long time ago I learned how to be
Just one step ahead or one behind
Prowlin’ the shadows with the rest of my kind

 (Verse2)
Learned to dazzle and juggle in a faraway place
That you’ll never get to see
Got a few hard lines etched into my face

The Shadows Behind War

Donn Harris

“War does not spring full-blown from an inhuman hardscape of unshakable reality; nor can it be stopped by the one weapon stronger than the enemy’s. War, unfortunately, springs from the heart of man, and is evident in everyday moments of judgmental indifference, competitive cruelty, vindictive payback and the ungenerous casual interactions that mark our days. Building on this, we move into group agreements and actions, and soon we have governance structures, led by those vetted through processes of fear and tribal rage, that lead us to kill for that to which we have pledged our allegiance. The question of going to war was decided long before the first shot was fired or the first provocation was interpreted. We are set up for it. A gun in the first act always goes off

The Post-Election Pundit Panic

Donn Harris

Donald Trump won the 2024 American presidential election four years ago when he lost the 2020 election, casting himself as a martyr, a victim of a conspiracy to steal the election. That belief remained fully intact among a core of zealots.

None of the outrageous things Donald Trump did or said during this campaign could sway this electorate in 2024: felony convictions, obscene gestures with a microphone, awful debate performance – none mattered. Ukraine, Putin, Gaza – minor background issues.

Some analysts are using this victory as proof that 2020 was a corrupt election. Look at the results across time. 2020 was an outlier, clearly won through cheating.

After the Gold Rush: The Battle of Juneteenth

Donn Harris

Much of America these days exists as small pockets of like-minded people living in proximity to one another, and this goes for both urban and rural areas. This is known as The Big Sort, a phenomenon that began in the 1980s and now has become frequent behavior among families and individuals who are able to exercise choice as to where they live. Five years ago I moved from a large city to a rural community of about 18,000; our entire County is about the size of my former urban neighborhood. The rural population is spread out over nearly 1,000 square miles, while the city compresses that same number of people into 6 square miles – 160 times more dense.

I worked for the public schools in the city, and was closely involved with the arrivals, departures, pr

Neil Gaiman: Portrait of the Writer in the New Journalism

Donn Harris
The famous fanatsy writer is accused of sexual misbehavior that borders on the criminal. The New Zealand police have not charged him, so the podcast team from the UK’s Tortoise Media have brought the issue to the public. Is this the new methodology of sexual justice? False Neutrality

I am not a fan of the literary work of British fantasy writer Neil Gaiman.

I am going to analyze the media reports on the sexual controversy that surrounds him these days — the topics are sexual consent within relationships, older men who seduce much younger women, law enforcement inadequacy, life-partners who may a
