Three year old at best, that's his emotional level.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558253513796745662.post-17957783205248149562016-11-12T11:30:37.218-05:002016-11-12T11:30:37.218-05:00Dear Professor Chaos:
The answer is that we voted ...Dear Professor Chaos:<br />The answer is that we voted and lost. We shall have the chance to vote later in the primaries and the elections .In between we can join and get active locally in some organizations or form one or some. Write letters to the Editors,, talk to ourselves, unless times change and others do not leave the room if you even look like you are going to comment on anything concerning politics, world events, etc. I do not ever discuss sports. ,movies. Gossip, etc and rarely have. I used to enjoy discussing current events locally or national etc because most people I met enjoyed it and were civil, interesting and fairly knowledgeable, so I learned and expressed my views etc . the men and women all joined in, we laughed and enjoyed the company. We were in similar age groups, had children, careers, etc and were from very different backgrounds and far from family and where we had grown up, as a general rule. Retirement is quite different and times have change. Drastically. Kids are grown and self sufficient and distant. they have their own families and lives. Today going to a meeting or lecture, I find most participants repeat each others major sentiments, with some variants but little new is said. That is not educational and leads to nothing when we all go home Our social life is different, with different people with different views and in today’s world, politics, religion, current event, etc are taboo or unpleasant too, frequently. Friendships are different after careers and children, goals, etc have changed as we age and careers are solidified or we have moved far away for various reasons.<br />Who is the “THEY” AND HOW DO WE ENGAGE THE “PIGS “OR EVEN MEET THEM MORE THAN ONCE AND WHY WOULD WE? WANT TO?<br />I HOPE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT AND CAN INDULGE THEMSELVES IN POLITICAL ACTION.. They are needed badly but I am past my best fighting days and cannot run very fast anymore. I do not look for wasted time or emotions and avoid them. I wonder why it was so different after WW2 and now. Change was everywhere and we all cared and had to participate in a changing world if we wanted to take care of our growing families. Now the world seems to be taking sides without thinking and are looking for a fight. Good manners have changed and everyone is an expert and attached to a party, or a media source of truth and facts that they get all the truth from. Silence is not necessarily consent if we do not know the issues unless they are fully discussed. We often go home convinced of the utter stupidity of others we had though were smart and nice. I am generalizing of course, but that is what I see too often.<br />Right now we have little choice but to see what Trump, Congress, etc try to do and the results. Then we can support those we agree with as best we can until the next voting takes place., if we can.Bob Porisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558253513796745662.post-23992601805901863392016-11-11T21:44:59.005-05:002016-11-11T21:44:59.005-05:00Hell no, we should not relax and accept this racis...Hell no, we should not relax and accept this racist fascistic pig in the White House! Why is it we're always expected to make peace with the right? They never gave an ounce of respect to President Obama. Now they expect us to kiss the ring of the man endorsed by the Klan? Hell no!
