Sorry we missed it live, but Sarah and I were having a delicious dinner at Bellini’s for our 26th anniversary.
I apologize to my loving wife that I frame our anniversary in this post… (Sarah understands).
We missed the live broadcasts of the DNC speeches last evening.
(and we missed the Foo Fighters! I love them!)
What a contrast between last week and this week… history versus fantasy…
Optimism and vision versus division and deception.
Leadership versus phony armchair quarterbacks hawking misinformation.
This week the DNC simply presented the idea of a functional government… (A government that is the functional tool which helps to create our legal codes, and assists its citizens in coming to consensus regarding social and moral codes … presumably the reason that the any government exists to begin with).
We have no culture or society or civilization without government… without government there is only an oligarchy or anarchy.
Science, arithmetic, history and facts … no phony mythology or theology necessary.

(Love you Honey!)
