She may well become known as America's greatest Supreme Court Justice because she championed the oppressed, civil rights, and her arguments and dissents were flawless and irrefutable. She will certainly be remembered in a class with Justice Louis Brandeis.

Yes, I did say Elvis. Americans should ditch the pop culture fetishes and refocus on how politics, economics, governance determine their lives, and how they interface with their government, finance, and role as citizens.

I want a world where the arts are honored as much as intellect. There is room for both. Elvis has brought a lot of joy to millions of people.

I just see no reason we can't have room to support both RBG as a hero and the artists we admire. They all add to the cultural fabric.

I acknowledge music gods exist. And to each their own. But we currently have a reality tv star, who doesn’t have shit for brains, was deemed fit to be President. No, we need to acknowledge altruistic intellect on a whole different level of timelessness.

will there, or should there, even be trick or treating? I vote NOT.

It is a Pagan Holy Day, but I suspect most observances will be private this year.

Someone does that, and now I'm crying again...

Beautiful symbol.

I hope it inspires strong young ladies everywhere...
