September 12--The Disease of Fear and Violence

Most of the time, all you have is the moment, and the imperfect love of the people around you.  --Anne Lamott

    Still awaiting the grandbaby!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    These are the words of Shane Claiborne: 

Violence is contagious. Violence begets violence.… Pick up the sword and die by the sword. You kill us and we’ll kill you. There is a contagion of violence in the world; it’s spreading like a disease.

    It is quite clear to me that a vote for Trump is a vote for spreading the disease of violence. He has demonstrated it in every appearance, ranging from mocking a disabled person to promising to go after anyone who is disloyal to him. His whole message is based in fear and violence. 
    Is this what you want for your future and your children's future?
    It is incomprehensible to me that ANY woman could vote for Trump. His misogynistic behavior is quite evident, and he and his old white male cronies have no interest in women having any rights. 
    Any vote for Trump, "in my book," is an act of treason to the U.S. and the Constitution and everything that has already made America great. This would be either a willful traitor (I'm rich and I want to stay rich; Trump will support that) or an ignorant traitor (somehow convinced to believe his lies, proving the failure of our public education system). Willful or ignorant traitor? I can't come up with a choice of which is worse. 
    Haven't we had enough violence? Let's go for love, no matter how imperfect.
        Leta
Let's make our country for ALL!
