So tells us Dr. Fauci, as we approach the fall and winter seasons. It will get worse, he predicts, as we move on especially as we move more indoors, with signs flashing 'danger', even as people do not listen. i.e. college students partying away despite all that has happened and continues to happen.
Or the idiot simpletons who endanger themselves and others with their moronic political approach to mask wearing and social distancing. Why not send them to Sturgis victims of their own folly as they now suffer from growing rates of the virus. We are till getting more than 36,000 new cases a day, almost 192,000 dead, over 6.3 million infected, and growing, on target for 410,000 by Jan., but there ya' go! Mask? Nah, not for me, as the idiots say.
Better we should use the heroic words of the heroes of Flight 93, who used the words "Let's roll!" to become the heroes of the day, examples for decades to come. We need to use their words as inspiration for us to roll as well. There are so many needs for us to meet and all the while under this man, Trump, we are wasting time, and worse, endangering our world even more, every day, every hour.
Pelosi says that "Mother Earth is angry" as she talks of the massive and awful fires of the West Coast. Well, people, look around and then wonder, perhaps Father G-d is also angry with us. The earth once again has filled with greed, chaos, robbery, rampant crime, and other such 'wonderful' achievements. We have lost most sense of honor and honesty. We have turned from traditional positive values to no values at all other than the bottom line and 'stuff', things that are of no use as we flee the man made disasters upon us.
What to do? What can be done? Well, folks, today is 9/11, a day that America and the world were challenged and they stood up to it. The nation united as almost never before. We heard the nations of the world give forth in banner headlines with statements of unity and sympathy. The GOP and the Democrats hugged each other at the Capitol, but today, well, today, that is unimaginable. Today, there would have been immediate blame laying rather than unity. That is America today. That is not the America of the "let's roll" heroes of Shanksville, Pa. We ought to be ashamed of ourselves.
And blow me down, but Trump is actually right in a statement he told a rally of non mask wearing fools. "This is not a crowd of a person who comes in second place," Oh, how right he is. Second place? Nope. Last place. That is where he is always and forever. Last in decency. Last in humanity. Last in intellectual ability. Last in honor and honesty. Last in any value to our nation and first in being the worst President ever, the one who has endangered our very foundation, our ethos, our very being.
Even on this sacred day he chose to lie, to promote himself, as he called stations to offer his oh so important take on the tragedy. What was so wrong? The stock market closed! And the lies, that he saw things that the angle of his windows did not allow for. Or that he saw thousands of Muslims dancing on rooftops in Jersey. What a crock! Never was, other than in his own already deluded, hallucination ridden mind.
Today is a day of reflection, of thought, of an attempt to understand the importance of America. What does it mean to the world? Where have we failed, and in so many areas? What do we need to do to fix the situation? We need to also roll, roll onto the right paths, return to our heritage, shore up the weak and uneven spots, always working to improve, towards an ideal of perfection.
We need to take care of our needy, to erase food insufficiency from the land. We need to offer quality education to all children and set up programs for adults needing training for a new job world, include, rather than exclude, and for sure, open our borders in a fair and controlled humane manner, allow in the new and fresh minds we need to move onward. Often the new immigrants are the ones with the pride of country, the eagerness to pay back that we so desperately are short of.
We are America. WE are Americans. On the census there is a question one does not have to answer, which asks what you are, where you came from, dividing the world into regions. I answered simply - American. That is what I am and what we all are, including you!. No matter where our ancestors originated, no matter if one is first or fourth generation - we are all Americans. We so desperately need to remember that, to include that feeling of unity, of oneness in our nation.
So let's roll today, all of us. Let us think on our past, on that day of tragedy and heroism, a day of loss, yet enriched by the heroic behavior of so many at all three sites. Let us look for the positive to be gained, leaving the ugliness behind.
Let's roll on the path towards fixing this world of ours. Early vote, mail in, take the ballot to the office, vote in person, no matter the difficulty there might be. Exercise the right and the responsibility of a citizen of this country. Vote that man into last place, he and his ilk, back to last place which is where they belong, and always have been. Hunker down for the virus, but step up and stand out for America.
VOTE. Have faith in our country. Let us all get it back on track, the American track, the proud track, the one that will save us all with the combined efforts of all - all Americans. And the rest of the world as well, as they see us return to tradition, to progress, to a partnership with them, for we all live on the same floating orb.
VOTE!
