Dear Meryl,
During your unabashedly courageous defense of civil liberties and the “submerged America” at the Golden Globe Awards the other night, you referred to actor Ryan Gosling in this manner: “Like all of the nice people, Ryan is a Canadian”.
Ouch,baby! Very ouch!
In the midst of a storm, I looked up into the sky and knew that I would see the sun somewhere hidden in the clouds and the darkness, trying to peek through. It was then that I looked for the rainbow I knew would be there.
Greetings, and Happy 2017!
This morning I was on Facebook and I saw that someone I know had liked a page from a “Happiness Coach.” I clicked on the link and saw that this coach has over 252,000 page likes! Not to dismiss this person’s work, but what a perfect representation of where humanity is still at…a kind of “fluff over function” mentality that leaves the collective constantly searching for the next thing to give it a momentary reprieve from its pain and suffering.

"a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it." – Ted Kennedy, eulogizing his assassinated brother Bobby in 1968
In these latter days of planetary hysteria, everyone seems to be the enemy and the real villains keep getting away with their shit cloaked behind a three second sound bite. It’s enough to make you want to puke all over everything, you know?
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE
There is always the day after, you're wondering about the significance of what just occurred. You try to make sense of it. I'm referring to the election of course. Most people I know were shocked and disappointed. But not all of them-some were ready for the change they think will occur.
I know most Americans woke up this morning to news that shocked them, whether they were happy or not about the results of the election. A man who has no military or political experience was just handed one of the most powerful and influential positions in the world. It is unprecedented in the United States.
