Presidential

In my opinion, Michael Avenatti has ridden Stormy Daniels further than most of her co-stars ;-) Now he is running for President, and, aside from having a platform based on 'The Truth', one of his tenants is that "we have to fight fire with fire". That might be okay, so long as the adherance to 'The Truth' does not give way to firefightning, but, again, in my opinion, I think we really need a leader who can offer love over hate, inclusiveness over identity, understanding over ignorance, policies over politics and, ultimately, inspiration over instigation.

Climate Change

It occurs to me that we may potentially cure cancer, an immense and complex endeavor, before we halt or reverse climate change, which is an immense and complex endeavor as well, but only because too many of us refuse to embrace the evidence, or refuse to ‘see’ what is happening around us, or lack the moral imperative to conserve the world we live in, even if the evidence is disputable. I am going to take a good hard look at myself in this regard, because it seems to me that if we do leave a livable world to our children and grandchildren, it will start with personal choices that live outside of regulation and incentives, as a leading indicator for a collective awakening.
