WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS

I watched the  last three and a half hours of Hillary being grilled.It was an interesting evening. Starting at 5pm with Seth Meyers guesting on Charlie Rose, ending with Bernie Sanders guesting on Stephen Colbert and in between CNN's Anderson Cooper with a panel critiquing Hillary's performance in the opportunity provided. 

T.V. Is not usually turned on in my house until 5p.m. But to-day I may watch the View at eleven to see what the women have  to say about Hillary. 

I did. Whoopee wasn't there. Joy Behar was at the end of the table.

I'm sure each program will impact on the presidential race.

We can watch a facet of history unfold before our very eyes. 

Following the cornucopia of views  I was in the kitchen chopping vegetables and listening to CNN. Ben Carson was talking. He was suggesting Hillary should  go to jail for what happened in Benghazi. 

I was dropping onions from the chopping board into hot fat.

It wasn't the first time my jaw dropped as well. Where does he come from?  He can't be as ignorant as he seems. Such a person does not aspire to be President. 

Hard on the heels,came a memory of Tommy Douglas at one of the first meetings of the New Democratic Party Riding Association in an old church in Richmond Hill in the mid-sixties. He told of introducing health care in Saskatchewan. Millions of dollars poured into the Province in the virulent battle  from the American medical community. 

Tommy Douglas would have instantly recognized what Ben Carson was about. 

I realized I'd  seen it before myself. When the British Government introduced  health care, the medical profession did everything they could to sabotage it by bankrupting the scheme. 

Drug coverage was provided from the beginning. Doctors prescribed everything and anything remotely 

connected to health.

Wigs were prescribed for bald heads. Bandages, cotton balls, aspirin,you name it, they prescribed it in vast quantities. 

Even today, eavesdropping on a conversation, at a bus stop, in a pub,or a group chatting on the street, the conversation is ninety-nine per cent likely to be sharing the latest surgical procedure. It 's 

the national pre-occupation. Even Margaret Thatcher wasn't able to change it.

So..here's my theory. Ben Carson is  the candidate of the medical and pharmacy industry.

He is not a politician. He has no interest in making America a better place. Every interview he gives,every time he speaks, he reveals himself. 

A serious candidate for public office he is not. 

No more than the Donald and I can't believe he takes himself seriously.
