Is There Anything Besides Trumps Threats?


Are we really so poor we have no imagination, no intelligence, no life experience?

We can read realities from our work lives. Do we believe that one narcissist can rule the world by cruelty and contempt? Yes he has power and we will be affected by it but does that mean we shall be crushed? Do we have to bow down to it?

Do we have not alternatives such as compassion and encouragement? Do we have no healers and knowledge about health and various countries in the world? Was there no Martin Luther King, no Margaret Atwood, no Tayler Swift, and all the people who wrote, sang, studied and wrote? 

What happened to CBC news? Are we fruit flies waiting to be destroyed by Trumps ambitions? Who knew it would come to this? Who didn't know? What have we lost? Functional media? Self respect? Do we have schools? Churches? Synagogues? Social groups? Politicians who have developed a sense of humanity?

Yes we do! We have children who take life seriously, who want to grow up and who have faith that winning is only important if the prize is freedom to be intelligent and thoughtful.

Chris Hedges is still thoughtful and good at pointing out our survival depends on justice and integrity, but he is aware that monied interests can sell us short, dismiss the worth of workers. 

Are we really so poor we have no imagination, no intelligence, no life experience? What the current players are afraid of is educated intelligent women who have ideas on how to heal the global economic world but who fear they will lose their misogynist power system.

We can read realities from our work lives. Do we believe that one narcissist can rule the world by cruelty and contempt?

Do we have not alternatives such as compassion and encouragement? Do we have no healers and knowledge about health and various countries in the world? Was there no Martin Luther King, no Margaret Atwood, no Tayler Swift, and all the people who wrote, sang, studied and wrote?

Yes the big bully who wants war more than peace, maybe hopes America will change its name to Trumpia before he dies. But the earth still has intelligent people asking questions dealing with serious questions of survival on this planet.
