KY_EnviroGuy's JournalOne perspective....
When it's known that any executive in government, a corporation or the military will not tolerate negative news and in fact will flog the messenger with rebuke or firing, those executives probably sleep pretty well. Their subordinates - - not so much.
Thank you for those sobering reminders.
A million phone calls or a million emails, etc. can make a big difference toward change. His inappropriate comments certainly are being used by our enemies - each tweet and speech amplified 1,000,000X on the internet and foreign press, daily painting America in a bad light. And, you may be right that our negative rants may be copied and pasted and used as fodder to reinforce this negative image.
Personally, I've been lax on my efforts and I'm going to try to better organize my phone contact list and bolster my email and snail-mail lists to make it easier to take action.
There's probably effective watchdog organizations on our side that need more support as well.
Plenty to be done and time is short! 
Wish I could buy those kids a beer!
Perfect planning and organization, and all kept civil. Well Done! 
You would think it would be different.
With this administration's overriding goal of "shrinking government down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub" (which they are doing mostly clandestinely every day) that tRump would just sit back and be quite, play some golf, count his millions he's raking in, sign a few proclamations and orders, and let his minions pump his ego.
But, no - he can't do that. He has to constantly be a national embarrassment to us, throw tons of red meat to his base, and keep our Congress in morbid turmoil.
He needs to go before other countries around the globe start calling for a wall to be built around the US to protect them from us.
Thanks for that excellent review of OK.
Apparently, one does not need healthy, educated people to run oil rigs. I would bet your legislators have great health care and retirement plans. Not being hypocritical because my state's the same way and getting worse! The Kansas disease has spread.
An embarrassment around the world - see links.

I'm sure there's many more like those. Makes me want to climb into a hole and hide.
Disgraceful! There should be a mass call for resignation.
How can anyone in public office say things that breaks the hearts and the will of people who are suffering?
Thank you for your review of our capabilities - very educational.
Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Amazing ships with amazing capability. 
They're a lot alike...
...'cause they both use their prestige and power as it should be - to help others less fortunate. Two very inspirational people, and both are sports fans!
