Love that comparison, my friend. I have heard of but not yet seen the Mr. Wong movies. Most grateful for your review. Love that the atmosphere came through for you. I thank you from my heart.

Thanks so much, Adira. Glad you like my convolutions, my friend. Indeed it occurs to be that the things we call serious problems in our comfortable Western economies are taken very differently by malnourished people. They don’t have the leisure to worry about such things.

Thank you so much Fia. Well met my kindred Star Trek fan. Indeed Star Trek captured my imagination at a young age. Glad to know you too are a fan.

Outstanding piece. Your words written here capture the true meaning of America in 2025. Excellent!

Deep gratitude Visions. Indeed, these feelings I think many Americans and people from other countries have in our day and time. And I believe Lady Liberty, meaning the spirit of America, will rise triumphantly, because I believe we the people will not be subjected in the long run to the yoke of tyranny. I appreciate your comment truly and greatly. Thank you from my heart and soul.

This made me think of those mystery/thriller Mr. Wong movies from the 1930’s-1940’s starring Boris Karloff or Bela Lugosi. Amazing detail and atmosphere. Great!
