I'm getting a lot of emails asking me to speak out against Trump, but I can't see the point. I will speak FOR something but not engage in a Mad Hatter tea party. The irrational movement will have to get along without me having the delusion I can "wake people up". Argument requires critical thinking ability, and I don't see any of that capacity in the Republican campaign. I'm hoping that seeing the debates will make it obvious who has the skill to be president. But people who are determined to tear down our traditions and bring chaos in the name of this country are not acting like citizens, but toddlers. I believe in dissent, but within the law. I believe in speech, but without character assassination and name calling. I believe in inclusiveness, not divisiveness.
I've had enough of the Supreme Court interfering with elections, a representative party halting the process to confirm a Supreme Court judge, the laws of the land being circumvented in devious ways, and lobbyists owning congresspeople, and Wall Street destroying lives with impunity.
Let's get back to a law abiding, respectful society. This is not the wild, wild west, and it was never intended to be.
