In light of today’s attack on Venezuela, we have to be mindful of the people of that nation and for the rule of international law. I hope for a peaceful resolution can be found that recognizes that nation’s sovereignty. There also needs to be accountability and justice for those who led to this action. I don’t think the military action should have happened without authorization from congress. Checks and balances are there for a reason. Our world is burning too badly and cooler heads must prevail always. The current administration has to do better. I fear worse things are ahead.

Tickets To New Year’s Eve Secured
I found this on The Facebook and I found it appropriate. I do have to work both New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, though. But I have no plans to leave the house when I get home from work on NYE.
A Stupid Parade
There is a lot of rebuilding needed in America. Imagine if those soldiers marching in a totally unnecessary and costly parade on Saturday, were put in communities to restore and renew places like Western North Carolina after being destroyed by a hurricane, what good could happen. But sure, feed the stupid ego of a man who has no honor or no idea of service to others. It’s nuts if you ask me.
I Said What I Said
Just some commentary on the days events.
Something About Internet Opinions
Hey, guess what???? The Internet is full of opinions and commentary. Like noses, we all have opinions about one thing or another. Some opinions are informed and helpful, while others are not. I don’t believe everyone feels the same way about everything. You look at what people are saying and it comes from a place of one’s experiences and values. No matter where you go on the Interweb someone has something to say. It’s OK to have opinions, just try not to be hurtful or personal in expressing them. I am certain that whoever reads this will have some feedback for me.
A Very Serious Disconnect
This country has given us Mister Rogers Neighborhood, The Muppets, Star Trek and Star Wars. It also gave us Taylor Swift, Sesame Street, Beyonce, Bob Ross, and many more icons and positive influencers. We are also about the arts, music, and storytelling. I am puzzled about how it can elect someone who goes against all that cultural normalcy. Those people taught us grace, community, acceptance, inclusion, and good triumph over evil.
I think we may have forgotten how to be good to one another. Loving your neighbors as yourself. Adopting the golden rule and looking out for one another. It’s hard to believe that people will buy into fear when there is an alternative. Yeah, this is about what happened on November 5th. Growing up I was led to believe that bad people should face the consequences of their actions.
There is so much serious disconnect right now. It’s just disappointing and very puzzling. Right now we have to look out for those who will be most impacted by the change in government. Some people regret the choices that were made. I don’t need it but I have friends who do.
It’s all so weird and sad. Yeah, weird. Sad.
