OVER THE TOP

     First let me apologize for the lateness of the posting, but we traveled early this morning to join our kids for the holiday. There was no time to even turn on the computer! And I must tell you that it was so pleasant not to hear about that man for close to three hours as I only read on the plane and do not listen to the news or talk shows of the morning. So peace was upon us.
     What was interesting was watching the other passengers as they looked at papers or talked among themselves. There were great big sighs after a news article was read, shrugs when one questioned the other about "what now" and just an atmosphere of anguish and concern as to what could be done.
     So Thursday when we are thankful for so much - for health - if we have it - or for help if we need it- for family, for the ability to live in a good retirement, to be able to help family members, for friends - no one with any sense will be thankful for that man. Instead we will be wondering again how this came about.
    But it is not difficult to indeed figure out. When one looks at the Moore campaign in that dim state of Alabama, and read that pastors are afraid to mention his name, to outright condemn him and his actions, or worse - make excuses and call those poor women liars - well, what could we have expected in the presidential election when people say such things, and elected a self confessed molester.
     Charles Blow, in an op-ed piece today wrote superbly about the epidemic of women and men and the molesting of the former by the latter. Basically, it is a culture that must be eradicated and it is seemingly ingrained in most, if not all men. I do know some good men who would never ever do such things, never cross their mind but let's face it folks, the majority do use power, as little as it might be, to frighten and demand of women what should not be. I remember when I was 13 or 14 and I walked into a darkened room, empty as far as I knew, and suddenly the lights were switched on and two boys or young men really about 5 or 6 years older than me stood there with their things hanging out. I ran out, not really sure what had just happened and did not tell a soul for I thought I had done something wrong or else why would they have done that? I still cringe today at the memory. There are more stories and harassment out there than we could ever imagine.
     Meanwhile this is a world wide problem and needs to be addressed but with men in positions of power, who knows and when a molester is openly elected, then what are we to expect. In fact, we right now have an infant with very few brakes, if any, on his ego and his id for that matter. He lies thru his teeth , talks of himself in third person - not a good thing, and expects gratitude to be given in flowery terms and for a long period of time. This is his thinking as an infant and the lack of realization that he is president not only of his supposed base but of all Americans.
     But actually, he seems to be unable to do this. He perseverates. He whines. He lies. He thinks only of his own fortune and that of his family. He does not do the work of a president. He golfs! and golfs! He gets into arguments over twitter with members of his own party let alone all the rest of the people. He takes it all personally and cannot deal with it and cannot let go of any opposition, be it Jeff Flake or Hillary Clinton.
      This man, his mode of thinking, his level of thinking, his mental deterioration - it all must go. And so must his followers who would remain behind and continue his path for they are all just as guilty as he is for pressing on with their interests and to hell with the interests of America. they have truly gone over the top.
