![]() Manners Sometimes Make All The Difference This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged ideology, irrational worries on Maby davidhunter. Worrying doesn’t help, I know, but it keeps me occupied. Or even worse, watching half the nation’s citizens obey him. Or the possibility of a President Ted Cruz declaring himself to be the Messiah and ordering everyone to fall down and worship him. Of late, I imagine the possibility of a President Donald Trump calling North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un a fat, idiotic dwarf while daring him to launch nuclear missiles. That one hung around until the Berlin wall went down. Roy Arwood at Third Creek Baptist Church painted such a vivid picture of judgment day that for years I watched the horizon constantly for falling brimstone.Īt eight, one of my young friends told me about earthquakes causing huge splits into the Earth, sucking houses and people into the fiery center of the globe and I expected it would happen any minute.īy age 12, I had learned about the possibility thermonuclear war and my blood would run cold at the sound of sirens. ![]() My worrying started early, so it may be learned behavior. When I am not actively worrying, my mind is working on a subject I’ve recently read about: Did Neanderthals and modern human beings really interbreed much earlier than at first believed?Ĭan astronomers actually look back almost to the Big Bang?Īt the beach I always watch the tide rise and wonder if it will stop this time or just keep rising? Will an asteroid that nobody has noticed take out our entire species in a matter of minutes? Will I one day run out of words and not have a column ready by deadline? I know she has a small child and she is on first thing in the morning and late in the day, it sometimes seems. These days, I sometimes worry if Heather Haley, the Channel 8 meteorologist gets enough sleep. If there’s nothing pressing, my thoughts may go anywhere. I am a worrier and always have been since I was a child. The same imagination that allows me to create worlds inside the pages of a novel carries its own hazards. This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged ideology versus reason on Jby davidhunter. It’s time for unity, Senator Sanders, and we are waiting for you to do the right thing. I think he’ll do it because he believes as I do that there are two kinds of people in this country at present - those who see the danger of Trump and those who don’t. Now it’s time for him to make peace with the Democrats who supported him, even though he was never a member of that party. The Senator from Vermont had a perfect right to run and in doing so surprised professional pundits with how well he did. The time has come for Sanders to acknowledge his defeat, like the honorable man I believe him to be. He raised many important issues that pushed Hillary Clinton to take stands she would have preferred to avoid, perhaps, but she has won the presidential nomination under the same rules as all her opponents. Sanders has fought the good fight and has lost. Capitalism works well when the government is in a position to regulate the greed to a reasonable degree. ![]() A country is not a business, it’s a covenant between the people and those who make the laws. Neither education, which is the future of every nation, nor healthcare should be for profit enterprises. I believe it because other nations have done it and are doing it, and this country lacks the initiative, not the resources. That his nation could provide healthcare and education for all it’s people has been my lifelong belief. ![]() Bernie Sanders, the Independent from Vermont, because many of his beliefs mirror my own, knowing that change comes slowly and not overnight. You’ve heard it before, but this time it’s true that the very fate of this nation depends on defeating Trump. I believe those who see the possible catastrophic results of placing a divisive narcissist on the nuclear trigger outnumber those who don’t. There are two kinds of people in the United States at this moment–those who see the danger of a Donald Trump presidency and those who don’t.
