What would it take to unite this country?

Would it have to be something so dreadful that we would have to unite or die?

What would it take to over-ride the passions of politics and division?

Is there anything that would bring this country together at this time?

Have the lines already been drawn?

What can we do to escape the "matrix"?

Sometimes it feels like there is nothing we can do except play out the hand we have been dealt.

I shudder to think what will happen if we fail to resolve our differences at the polling place. I see no other solution that does not involve violence.

It's depressing.

The Second Coming BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

A quote found on FaceBook:

A Wise Man Once Said:

"Bees don't waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit."

Is it extortion?

To threaten to fire someone under you, if they do not follow your orders to lie for them?

(Especially if it threatens the existence of our democracy)

Do you believe Trump will ever be charged with any crimes?

Or do you believe he is above the law?

Do you think he will ever sit before a jury of his peers?

Do you think he has committed any crimes or do you think he is just a terrible person who has done some rotten stuff, but not illegal?

Dear Mr Fantasy

It's Alright Ma...

A quote from MLK Jr:

Time Changes Everything

There can be no closure...

...until the two political Parties can agree that the truth is important. If they cannot agree on that most simple premise, the divisions will continue to grow and to widen.

It will not disappear. It will not go away. The wounds are deep and psychological.

Until they get to the bottom of what happened on January 6th, the wounds will only fester and worsen.

There can be no closure until the two Parties agree that the truth is important and that January 6th must be investigated and those that are guilty of a crime must be held accountable.
