Abraham, Martin and John ... and Bobby. -- But then there's Donald.
It seems to me that the human species is self destructive, and perhaps an inexplicable mistake by whatever universal intelligence/awareness may exist.
This small rock in space is our home and provides for all of our needs. Yet, there have always been those among us who desire far more than their needs. They want it all. They are different from us and have been incredibly successful at steering us off the path of sanity. And, as a result of them, the one thing that humanity has excelled at, for thousands of years, is death.
All human discoveries, from fire, to spears, to splitting the atom, have been turned into instruments of destruction. And of course, AI will follow that well traveled path.
Those who saw the reality and truth of what our species is capable of, and the direction we should have taken, have always been eliminated. And those who want it all, have always triumphed, for a while.
So let's get real. What does Donald Trump (and those who own him) want? They want more. They want it all.
We, --all of us, -- have allowed a minority driven by greed, to put the environment of our planet on the edge of disaster. And we've allowed them to own the thoughts and beliefs of those who can't understand what's best for their own well being.
So here we are. We've poisoned our world's environment and have precious little time to turn it around. And America, the world's best hope for fulfilling the concept of universal freedom, is teetering on the edge of the unthinkable, which may come to be next November.
What can we do to change the course in which the momentum of history seems to be taking us? I don't have an answer. But I can say that each and every one of us must do anything and everything we possible can to make a difference. We've all learned to recycle that which diminishes our environment. -- It's past time to recycle the madness that has our world by the throat.
