"Why?"

Why are we afraid  . . .

. . . of kindness, trust, honesty and compassion as a way of life--a way of political diplomacy?

Why is . . . 

. . . the Left wrong and the Right, right?  Or visa versa?

Why do . . .

. . . we still believe our leaders will save us?  We must save ourselves.

Greta Thunberg is a beacon of light in a lopsided world.  The thing about billions of people being off kilter is that such a light will scatter to places it might not otherwise reach.  Greta understands that the world will change only if she and we stand up to be counted--not by words alone, but by actions of love, acceptance, non-judgment, peace and the embracing of world citizenship.

The Democrats are risking their political careers to bring to light the clear misdeeds of a President unsuited for office.  If their efforts fall on the deaf ears of their opponents, then millions of voters must take up their work and see it through on election day.

Courage is not easy.  Courage is hard.  No one is perfect, but each of us knows, if only deep within, when a wrong has been done.  A President serves at the behest of the people.  He is not above the people or the law.

If he is...he is a King!  Right  now we are  perilously close to such a state of affairs in Washington, DC.  Many of our elected leaders act as a Whole, not as individuals with a conscience that weighs, without bias, what has been presented.

America will survive as a piece of earth situated in North America.  But will we survive as a living, breathing Democracy where no single person is a law unto themselves?
