Pride Eagle 2014

A friend of mine asked why I hate Trump. I don't hate him personally like I did George Bush. He is a demagogue and buffoon that can't help who he is. What concerns me is what he already has done even before he assumed office. 1) He has made us the laughing stock of the world who are not amused by his antics. 2) He has created uncertainty and concern with his stance for denying the facts of a) we are in a global economy, b) that climate change is not just a theory but an issue of immediate concern.

St. George's Chapel - Prague

In 2003 some friends and I spent Thanksgiving in Prague. A decade earlier the small country had been divided into two nations: The Czech Republic and Slovakia. Fortunately, they did not have to undergo a civil war, as happened with the break-up of Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, the United States of America also is no longer one nation. We are divided into categories.
