I wept when I saw this video (below) of, first, North Carolina policemen kneeling and, second, the protesters kneeling. At last the two sides had found a common language. I hope it catches on. I believe the example started with Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett. This is a spontaneous outbreak of human unity. I’m […]

We ask you to use discernment in your choice. Skirting the meme war does not affect the subjects we cover; only the sources we use to cover […]
The United States is not on the verge of collapse. Dan Rather on Facebook (https://tinyurl.com/yaedd329) I say this not to minimize the dangers of this moment. They are great.

(Continued from Part 1, yesterday.) The point I wanted to make however is: what do we do in the face of this constant change to maintain our equilibrium, our balance? Things are going faster than I can keep up with. What do we do? I can only say what I do, which I’ve been doing […]
