@larand That was beautifully put.

Political but on a much lighter note:
Dr Ben Carson has turned down a role in the Trump administration citing lack of experience.
This is the same Dr Ben Carson who had no such qualms while running for the Republican Presidential nomination.
I think i'm going to get a tattoo that says, "#NotMySpecies"
@kdfrawg We're being played against each other. "X is oppressing you". "Y hates you". "Z has more money than you".
The media pounds it into us. The entertainment industry peddles guilt and recrimination constantly. The politicians slice us up into convenient voting blocs.
It has to stop.

@kdfrawg I keep telling my customers that. They agree then turn around and break things. :)

@larand I assign blame to myself in that I often stay silent and expect others to stop in their tracks and realize they're making a mistake.
Most of the mistakes I've made in my life were exacerbated by the fact that others took the same tack with me. Stayed silent and hoped I would stop being an idiot on my own. (A historically bad call)
I guess we need to tap each other on the shoulder and say, "Got a minute?", a little more often.

@indigo Good choices - Both. I haven't had a decent Rum in years.

@kdfrawg I missed that. (I've been a little negligent on the social media side of things for a while.) Been meaning to read @larand 's stuff too but when I sit down to, I remember something that has to be done. Then, its suddenly 2AM. :)

@indigo I guess in the scope of human history, peace has been a anomaly.
I have relatives in Ireland and some of the stories they tell of the 70s are horrible.

@larand Until we recognize that both sides brought this about, it won't get better. We all had parts in this play.
There is no moral high ground to be had here.
