I have been through a lot in my time

 The foolishness of our republican president's time in office with too many years to follow makes me grieve for all the young men who died fighting the cause of slavery The twenty first century has pushed our nation back one hundred and sixty years   We have become slaves to technology, to the whims and power of politicians and ruthless rulers of other countries   We are no more free and secure than those we have freed to be slaughtered by the dictates of unscrupulous oligarchs  The situation is so dire and without any meaningful outcome that the sitting president should change his name by executive order to DICK as in Richard "Dick" M. Nixon  The 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 until his resignation in 1974  God have mercy on our souls Dick
