Election Day 2020

      Today is election day.  I voted by mail on the earliest possible day.  I checked and my ballot has been received and verified.  I wanted to be certain that I had voted to preserve our democracy.  I am old enough to remember when Eisenhower was elected.  I have seen many critical elections, but I have NEVER seen one so filled with hate and the potential of violence, including the ones during the Vietnam war and following the removal of Nixon.  I know that the military threatened to deliver Nixon in chains to the floor of the Senate when he threatened to declare martial law to stop the impeachment.  Trump is threatening civil war when he looses the election, and armed goons supporting him are already threatening and causing violence.  Boogaloo is the new helter-skelter.  If you don't understand that reference, look up Charlie Manson. Trump followers may include the KKK, but they look good alongside the "Boogaloo Bois" and the "Proud Boys".  

      We tend to compare Trump to his hero Hitler, but Trump and his minions are a very second rate copy of Hitler.  So far Trump has not been able to inspire the number of goons or the QUALITY of goons that Hitler did. I hope that his followers will fade away. Perhaps the "New World Order" (Novus Ordo Seclorum) dreamt of by our Founding Fathers will finally be realized following the end of the Trumpian nightmare.

Vote. Please

    We are facing one of the most important elections in the history of America/  We are in the middle of a serious pandemic.  We have a grossly incompetent president who hates the American Constitution and wants to establish a totalitarian state. Trump is trying to keep the American people from voting.  Please vote.

Impossible triangle

Trump's economic concept is also known as the impossible triangle. I was just watching an old episode of BAU and reference was made to the Penrose triangle. Wikipedia also referred to the difference between the triangle and the impossible triangle.

Is Truth Dead?

Just a quick word during these difficult times...... We are facing 2 serious problems : a virulent pandemic and the most incompetent president in history.  One of the problems with Trump is his hatred for American values. another is his apparent hatred for facts.  Luckily recently American people have become aware of the abuse by many thugs hiding behind badges. the frequent murder
of people solely because of the color of their skin.  We have seen many police officers joining in the protests, even "taking a knee" to acknowledge the need to end the racism too often practiced by police,  The same abuses related to race are also practiced against all people. Racism is, after all, just a symptom of deeper moral shortcomings.
