RIP REST IN PEACE

     We are that close to burying the greatest experiment in the history of mankind, of society and societal living. We are endorsing and allowing, nay, encouraging the abuse of power. All one had to do was listen to Dershowitz, who stated that basically, whatever a president in office wished to do in order to ensure reelection was just fine.
     Three other Senators agree with this, the morons, as they became traitors to their country, traitors to the Constitution and traitors to themselves and to Congress as a whole as they just removed any limitations, any checks and balances to a President. They threw Washington and his fears of an absolute monarchy right out the window!
    This, my friends, is what will probably not rest in peace. Thus we inter democracy with Friday's all but a joke decision - which was crassly stated way before it began, which comes asfter an abortion of a trial, even as we allow a demented and cruel man only out for his own good, to continue in office, with now, to our great danger and sorrow, absolute power. There will be no stopping him or in need of any future one and that is if this dictator wannabe will allow the crown of America, its wealth, to move out of the sphere of his family.
     We have ceded, abrogated, the laws of society. We do not obey any more the rules of international law, of domestic law, and have allowed our society to retreat into a backwards philosophy of practice, one that demeans individuals. All his ruthless henchmen and balless followers, what will you say when the press is closed down, when the media only has praise Trump talk shows, when books are censored and libraries closed, when government removes all medical care for pre existing conditions, when Social Security and Medicare are cut to the bone, when all rights are deemed inimical to the reelection of the man in the WH and thus there are no holds barred, all is allowed to gain reelection in what will become as farcial as the elections in Russia andChina. 
    What have we done? What have we allowed! What have we done to the future of the children. What happens when there are mass roundups of brown skinned people and woe upon the darker or olive skinned Italian or Jew, of Greek or whomever. They will just be rounded up as well. What will happen when all who protest forced prayer in schools are confined to prison and reeducation, when college and professional education is limited to those who are 'right', no more for all, all the better for reelection of that man and his perverted immoral assistants in the demise of democracy, in the rending of our government, in the destruction of all that we have achieved. 
     I hate to be a Cassandra but I will remind you of some words that I heard from several wise people. Rabbi Lau, a survivor at age 8 of the Holocaust, made it clear that prejudice, anti Semitism, any prejudice is not the problem of the persecuted group, but it is rather the problen of society at large which allows this hatred and make no mistake about it. It leaves no room for anyone for it knows no bounds.  Warnings have been given to the Senate as to what they are actually doing, allowing, and the need to understand the ramifications of it all, for they too will find themelves in a bad place should they disobey the master or fall into his circle of those he dislikes. It is not only for us that law is important or for the individual at risk. No, it is for ALL people, for all are caught within the rebounds, echoes and consequences.
      As far as I am cocerned, I will not accept that RIP for our democracy, for as old as I am I know what it is and have seen through the years and throughout history what happens when we forgo the dignity of man and throw people away as trash, when we throw out principles of decency and humanity and instead revert to the society of cavemen, where women are for naught, where children are not valued where life is a risk of such proportions as we have never known - other than for those who have lived under brutal regimes, penal colonies and all. Is that what we want here? I hope not. I surely do.
