speaking words of wisdom

the branch library near me is called the Tarea Hall Pittman branch
tarea is homework in spanish

dear god, anyone but Trump, please.

although maybe he's so bad, it's good, by way of contrast
such as Hitler or Stalin (never again)
in the same way that the devil gives us something to strive against...
i don't think he's evil so much as an idiot, who doesn't read, compulsively lies,  believes his own bullshit, is racist, hates mexicans, conceives of his presidential authority as a type of mob boss, is in fact a criminal, and probably ran for president unseriously, for kicks, who didn't expect to win, got lucky, and doesn't know how to govern, as the head of a chaotic and dangerous administration, that threatens the environment, the world economy, and peace.  Basically, I think of him as an old, fat, blowhard.   Unhealthy, filled with spite, and not to be taken seriously, although he is, unfortunately, the commander in chief, lacking the ethics, in my view, to deserve that aspect of the office.

quote:
"who are you, then?
I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good."
    -Goethe (Faust)
(that's the only silver lining I can see to his having been elected)
it might be what I am, too.
I hope I don't will good, and work evil (!!)

Even Mitt or Bloomberg..

whoever is the president, you don't need to submit to his (or her!) authority, imo
don't agonize, organize!
it's a free country, with a marketplace of ideas, and all ideas are permitted, even welcome!

I'll vote for anyone (other than Trump) who believes in universal healthcare, free education, free trade, has a "life ethic" (no capital punishment, war, less or no meat, no abortion), isn't a nationalist but rather an idealist who fights poverty everywhere, and makes a good faith effort to ensure met basic need for all humanity (clean water, sanitation, libraries, food, shelter, peace), and -finally- who has an open mind toward all belief systems, political or religious, (someone who is curious, reads, and understands and can argue all points of view, before making reasoned decisions- not making imperious, random, disordered policies and decisions, based on gut feelings!!) .  Okay, I'll shut up, now.  

Go, B!
 (hey, that's a desert!)
