Pugnacious News. Have you ever noticed on news broadcasts with highlights only, And in addition, when a USA war is raging somewhere, That there are two items reported together-- The first is obviously the war And the second are the 'important' sports results! The first is the real-life dangerous pugnacity, where lives are at risk, And the second is ritual pugnacity, where lives possibly might be at risk. I thus guess for humans needing vital information, These two subjects will always be at the top of the list. Frank Maurer 22 June 2025 2005 Hours.
