A political party, when you get down to it's core, is basically a business. When any business is struggling, there is always a move to try and find an external cause. Our pay isn't competitive is a really common one, or in this case, "people are stupid or mean" becomes an easy answer. 1/2

Growing up in the 1970's, I loved America, not because anyone told me to but because everyone around me loved America. If we are to the point where the government tells us to love America or lose school funding, we've fallen off the propaganda (dah comrade) cliff.

What if global warming is like a fever for the earth, a reaction to this pestilence harming it, destroying its balance? Aren't we just assuring our own extinction by helping the process along? We can't destroy the earth. We are just making it uninhabitable for our species. Nature, huh?

I've seen a number of videos from yesterday's protests where people were wondering where the teens were. They say it is pretty much millennials, Xers, and Boomers. For those who attended one of the protests, was that your experience?

When the executive denies the judicial, the break in our "honors system" democracy become reality. At that point, with the legislative branch refusing to do it's job, that leaves the citizenry. Jefferson said when the government fails to be by the people and for the people it rests with the 1/2
