538 says 43.5% .... but .... after seeing the 49% the thought crossed my mind ... gee another 4 years of the person whose name I can not utter .... or I have seen during my short lifetime the fall of America into historical obscurity ... a footnote of the misguided who believed democracy was even possible in an ever increasingly hostile nationalistic environment .... the tether which connects me to my RW ancestors has been stretched to the point of unraveling

the man on the hill looks down and I know he says ... this experiment has been a failure ... start again

ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
