What a strange time, eh? Last week, on FB, a person who doesn't know me felt a need to threaten me. A fine example of the attempted short-cuts in thinking commonly found among Trump supporters! I knew a bit about him, while he had no idea who I am. As his late father had been a hell's angel, I concluded that threats were the most common form of communication within his family system. More, I knew that he was rather unlikely to drive for six hours to get here, since he had no idea where I live.

After noting that even a cowardly chihuahua would dare to bark at a lion on a television or computer screen, I eventually engaged him in conversation. We ended up having a civil conversation, though we could never be friends.
