"If we don't vote...
...then this democracy doesn't work." source https://www.thedailybeast.com Mr. Obama may not appeal to you anymore than President Trump does to others, but he does offer some sense to the democratic political process that presently appears chaotic. Countries are not corporation within themselves, they must collaborate, negotiate and understand each other in order to peacefully prosper.
Your getting older
What's it like to grow old? This is a question I asked my father. His answer was simple and to the point. "I think the same, but I am tired." Of course we think the same. You would think a lifetime of failures and successes would alter our conscience. The accumulated earned wisdom does not change who we are. It simply confirms the person people see, whether they view correctly or not. If you live your life foolishly, you ache all over both inside and out. Then again without taking a few chances, what is life for? Regrets are a plenty for the person who did not tempt fate. Living with the consequences of our soul's desires is the stuff of life. So, do something stupid and it will in effect haunt you all you're living days. Become the beacon of humanity and it will eventually crush you unless you find a hidden crutch. All great men have one or two tucked away in their private lives, the grand escape tha...
The craft or art of writing
The use of pictures instead of words takes us back to an era when drawing images was our language. We have become as the ancients falling back to a solitary visual skill for expression, communication and historical accounting. Recent technology makes it so. "The craft or art of writing is the clumsy attempt to find symbols for the wordlessness." - John Steinbeck

What we have
the worth of what we get God forbid we become the United States of Trump. That would threaten our future and the stability of the world. The world has come to rely on an America that, more often than not, has been ready to pay any price and bear any burden to do the right things, say the right things, model the right things and stand for the right things — when others were unwilling or unable to do so. We live in an age of technological advance but The Times reported last week that “Trump is the first president since 1941 not to name a science adviser, a position created during World War II to guide the Oval Office on technical matters ranging from nuclear warfare to global pandemics.” He relies on his “instincts” instead, and his instincts told him that climate change is a hoax.

Good music
Sarah Mclachlan's songs is an opinion a cultural choice determined by what people know and feel One generation is separated from the next by forces they are barely aware of Good music can't be denied It transcends time I became reacquainted with her music after buying an old CD dating back to the late 1980's The conversion of a song on this CD will appear here at a later date if possible The picture shown above is from that CD The resurgence of vinyl lp's is an example of this need to appreciate the musical past
Isolation
Do we see the whole picture As a people we work and expect the opportunity for a life without strife. Are we informed when trade is unfair? Only when jobs are few and prices are high do we realize there is something wrong with the economy. Demanding international economic equality is good when we all benefit equally. The chance of this happening is sparse. Other countries have already isolated portions of the globe, or products and resources for their exclusive control. The United States is following the well established norm, albeit late, but also with an undoubtedly heavy hand. Translation of https://www.golos-ameriki.ru/ article may be necessary

A genetic breakthrough will save lives, cross political boundaries and raise scientific concerns that control genetic mutations, any genetic mutations.

Back in the USSR
The following comments translated mostly from Russian responders to North Korea's possible meeting cancellation "Really, there are dumb politicians in the tramp team in this situation, it was not worthwhile to conduct military exercises. It is necessary to be sensitive to certain events" "The Libyan model of nuclear disarmament is a meme! Persuade the leader to get rid of nuclear weapons, then arrange a coup, kill this leader, and disorganize the country. I wonder what specifically in this model did not like Mr. Yun?" "no one in the world believes these American idiots who can easily violate international treaties and do not care about UN resolutions" 'It's an empty thing to meet with Trump. He hopes that Kim will disarm unilaterally. This will not happen. And the US promises are worthless." "And the US promises are worthless." - this is you ask Deripaska. ...

Without reason
In Hinduism, which has a non-linear concept of time, the great god is not only involved in the creation, but also the dissolution. In verse thirty-two, Krishna speaks the line brought to global attention by Oppenheimer . "The quotation 'Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds', is literally the world-destroying time,” explains Thompson, adding that Oppenheimer’s Sanskrit teacher chose to translate “world-destroying time” as “death”, a common interpretation. Its meaning is simple: irrespective of what Arjuna does, everything is in the hands of the divine. Source photo CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images Article James Temperton wired.co.uk

Does slavery live after millennial attempts to abolish What Is the Civil Rights Act? Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, segregation on the grounds of race, religion or national origin was banned at all places of public accommodation, including courthouses, parks, restaurants, theaters, sports arenas and hotels. No longer could blacks and other minorities be denied service simply based on the color of their skin. The act also barred race, religious, national origin and gender discrimination by employers and labor unions, and created an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with the power to file lawsuits on behalf of aggrieved workers. Additionally, the act forbade the use of federal funds for any discriminatory program, authorized the Office of Education (now the Department of Education) to assist with school desegregation, gave extra clout to the Commission on Civil Rights and prohibited the unequal application of voting...
Success
A glass of hooch and I'm feeling fin, Not a wory to my name so great I am, Love with the way words swim. An occasional dip into the rabbit hole, Tis not wrong, as long as you know your way, Back no need to visit or speak this way. Oh my you say, so what is there to play, Not being here and where you know, Is how to be then more to show. Charlie Chaplin poem me
