5. Certainly not original with her, but sooo apropos and powerful
coming from molly.
She is, indeed, a national treasure.
Now, a serious question-- Nearly half the population of the US holds an opinion of her diametrically at odds with that of the people of compassion.
These people seem totally serious and sincere about their opinions.
Despite a number of outreach efforts, the progress of presenting and having seriously considered an alternative point of view is progressing all too slowly.
Perhaps a glacial pace will ultimately succeed, but I fear that circumstances are racing toward a confrontation that will turn the world into something totally unrecognizable, long before a background of understanding is accomplished.
What other paths, besides derision, scorn, and confrontation with ethical hypocrisy, will open communication better?
Although Molly nails it, every time, nothing of substance gets created between us. What we have is a general tightening of our collective group hug on this side, along with an enhancement of our view that they-over yonder-are blindly in the grip of greed, power lust, and criminal impunity, while they consider us as weak, conciliatory, vichy panderers, not worth the sweat off their manly, self confident whatevers.
What to do next?
