Disaster Can Take A Nation By Surprise,

Vladimir Putin Wants To Become The De Facto Head Of An Illiberal, Xenophobic, Hypernationalist Trend In World Politics.

I Don't Know That Donald Trump Is Anything More To Putin Than What Lenin Called A Poleznye Durak, A Useful Idiot.

We Can Hope That The Responsibilities And Realities Will Weigh On Donald Trump And He Will Not Be The President We Fear, But Rather Something More Stable.

I Actually Have Great Hopes For The Future.

What About Our Refusal To Look Squarely At The Degradation Of The Planet We Inhabit? In The Last Election Cycle Many Candidates Refused Even To Acknowledge The Hard Science, Irrefutable Science, Of Climate Change. The President, While Readily Accepting The Facts, Has Done Far Too Little To Alter Them. How Long Are We, Are You, Prepared To Wait?
