forward from March

after all the metaphoric blood and sweat and real tears, after all the work and rework and obsession, I want my stories to survive and therefore want them to be read
 
 
 
 of course Trump is no authoritarian mastermind
he's just a sad media whore with a failing mind trying to be best to get the applause from his crowds
 
 
 
 
what do we think "the economy" is or is for?  We seem to believe it is fine to destroy the source of all wealth and resources (our planet home), or for large numbers of people to suffer and die so what, so we can trade our goods and services?  Of course we will do that. 
 
 
 
 
not Democrats and Republicans -- we need to stop being Democrats and Republicans and understand we are actually human beings with human needs and human abilities, not sides, not opponents
 
 
 
in this time when we are breaking from normal routines, normality itself, it could be easier to make the changes we know we need but have been too caught up in daily trance to effectuate
 
 
 
 

You are refusing your fundamental duty as a citizen of a democracy (or democratic republic) and expecting, ok you do you?  Of course this fundamental duty is voluntary, so yeah, do you.  But don't believe you are making some kind of important point.  You are pulling yourself out of the game in a cynical huff.  The masses who want to live democratically know no human system can be perfect.  We do what we can with what we have to work with.  We don't abdicate to the forces that be.
