We live in very strange times, I hope to live long enough leave them behind. We live in a time when the President is an ignorant and racist fascist (but I repeat myself) and yet even now 37% of voters support him (New York Times summary of polls, this morning). I don’t give a proverbial about tattoos (yuck), for example, but that goes both ways: They do not disqualify a candidate, nor do they promote him. But I do care about honesty and character and experience and attitudes. This guy should never have got this far. Now, forget him. Consign him to the dustbin of history. Stop thinking about him.

At least this last one looks like we got out of it just in time. Still, it would have been so much better had it been last fall.
And at least Nader had a proven record in in one important sort of politics...that nonetheless left him at best clueless in at least a few others.
Same deal w/Obama and the ACA. Anger and muscles alone would never have gotten it through Congress.

Last line missing from the emailed version..checking the web-post...
Sorry--that's the first line of the last paragraph that's missing, if accessed either way. But points clearly made, nonetheless.
I’ll see about solving the email problem.
