Whither Get Better?

Before I tell you how this theme came about, I should tell you - or remind you, if I've told you before - that I don't have any supernatural beliefs. I certainly don't believe that there are acts, like magic spells, that one can do to help bring about favorable changes one might want. But I should also tell you - or remind you, if I've told you before -  that I grew up with comics & books & movies & television shows that were full of all kinds of supernatural sci-fi fantasy things that I longed to believe in. Occasionally I get the desire to hope for those things. The abject condition of my country has led me back to my childhood wishing.

The idea is, if I do a shown with a theme like "get better," might it throw something into the ether to help things get better? Political action & other kinds of resistance are doubtless more important & more helpful, but what can a dumb person who spends a lot of dumb time on a dumb radio show do but something kinda dumb? & that's how this week's theme came about. & hey I'm told that one's attitude can be helpful - hoping to make things better might encourage me to actually act to help make things better. One hopes.

One thing's for sure - Self Help Radio ain't getting any better!
