Dear Governor Walz
Governor Walz: I like you, but:
1) While I hate quibbling over the nuances of words, I wouldn’t use the word “marred” here. Dining room tables are “marred” when someone drops a knife on them. Families are “torn apart” when they lose a little kid in a shooting.
2) As a governor of a state, I suppose you’re obligated to offer prayers, but the whole idea of appealing to a god whose plan for this family included a mass shooting sounds lame in the extreme. I would simply refuse to do it.
3) Please call for the United States to deal with this epidemic the way the rest of the world has and take weapons of war out of the hands of psychopaths.
As shown at left, not everyone in the United States government is letting Trump order him around like a slave.
Why is this planet doing so little to mitigate climate change? Yes, partly it’s due to the fact that people alive today, especially those in the second half of their lives, will be dead before the worst effects of global warming turn this planet into a wasteland.
It’s amazing what gets Americans upset.
As shown at left, the United States has, in large measure, abandoned the idea that our government act in accord with the U.S. Constitution and the wishes of the men who came together to found this nation.
Given that the crime rate is so much higher in the red states, what’s the fascination with punishing cities that are controlled by democrats?
By exerting the absolute power that Trump believes comes along with the U.S. presidency, he has most definitely thrown most Americans into a snit.
Good question.
This reminds me of someone I met who believes the Earth is hollow, and that there is a hole at the North Pole that leads down to an underground world. When he told me that he wants to lead an expedition up there to find it, I suggested that a less expensive way forward would be talking to the hundreds of airplane pilots who fly near the North Pole every day, or downloading publicly available satellite images.
When my wife asked me just now what is happening in the world, I told her that it’s just an extension of what we’ve been seeing. In the United States, for instance, Trump and his loyalists are using whatever tactics they can get away with, military and otherwise, to take over the U.S. federal government.
