Is our Future in history or is our Future history if we keep heading down the current path that we are on?
The Future us needs the current us to figure it out and learn from our mistakes instead of continually repeating them.
The Future is watching!

The unfortunate and shameful event in Minneapolis today is a harsh and cruel reminder on how the actions of a few can have a country/world changing impact.
The actions of the Trump administration are not ascending the United States to a greater moral authority. They are destroying it.

I'm old enough to remember when CBS News and journalists like Edward R. Murrow held power to account, instead of capitulating to it.

There are a hundred more important things to say, and I tried to say some of them in my essay for "Thinking About...", but: invading a country for oil is also just atavistic at this point. Even if it worked, which it won’t, it still wouldn’t work.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
