FORTY SIX YEARS AND COUNTING

Neil Young wrote it. Crosby Stills and Nash covered it. And not a damn thing has changed. Trump makes Nixon look like Mother Theresa. We're still at war. Too many of our fellow citizens can't understand, or choose not to understand, why many of our fellow humans either hate our guts or just wish we'd leave them the hell alone. 

"Ohio"

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

I remember an article in Reader's digest about the killings. The totally false and disgusting stories spread about the dead. Especially the girls. This is not the world I expected to be living in when I was an undergrad at the U of O. 

I don't give a damn if you hate Hillary or if you hate Bernie. Just take a long look at the probable Republican candidate. And try to imagine him with the go codes for the nukes. Terrifying isn't ut
