And here’s my GirlieOnTheEdge six sentences on the blog prompt “Safety.”

1. We’re conditioned to trust the U.S. government to keep us safe with ships and drones and bombs.
2. We have soldiers and bases in nearly every country in the world (and they’re still bombing.)
3. Our sanctions deny medical supplies and devices to Iran, Venezuela, and whatever other countries our administration doesn’t like.
4. Now we have a threat we can’t resist with bombs and sanctions.
5. While the government dithers, the U.S. has sustained 785 COVID19 deaths (as of five hours ago); worldwide 19.656 have died.
6. Do you feel safe yet?
