Holiday thanks

I believe in the American people. For years now it has appeared as if people in this country no longer think or maybe no longer know how to think. Perhaps it is just OPT (old people talk). Old people, like me, tend to think things are worse now than when they were young. I don’t really know. But I feel, judging from some folks’ behavior, that the number of high-thinking people in this country is diminishing and one day we will find ourselves tipped. By that, I mean, that the non-thinking folks will be so numerous that they will become an overwhelming majority and tip the scales of sensibility toward the other side.

Changing lanes

Donald Trump wants to build a wall across the United States’ southern border and make the Mexican government pay for it. He wants to keep out rapists and illegal immigrants. Others want us to put up barriers and keep Syrian refugees out of the country. Some of our fellow Americans even want to register or deport all Muslims, including those who are American citizens.
