A Better Way
The way we choose the government and the way that government operates should be separated. Whether an elected government or some other type, how the governing jobs are shared out is one thing. What the government does to improve that society or not is partly in the peoples hands. Witness how even despotic governments can change due to public pressure (e.g. Hong Kong and the extradition law).

Find Beauty Everywhere
I don't have a great camera or even a great eye. So I try to look closely at things. Take the background away or the foreground and see what I want to see. Sometimes it isn't easy but when the mood strikes me I have always been able to get a great shot close to where I am. Even a poor subject can reward the photographer if you take it from various angles or lights.

The Ambitious Government
I saw this pic and was reminded of Hitler. So I started thinking about the world today. We are living in a very dangerous world was the conclusion I was forced to. I compared items from papers and other writers from both times and found some pretty alarming similarities. The more I studied, the more similarities I found. All over the world today and back then, there was a rise in populist politics. Today and then, military force was being used to further various countries economic ambitions.
