What greed and power looks like...

The goal to increase the wealth of the extremely wealthy using our tax dollars was not initiated by Donald Trump. But, under this president the strategy has become blatantly obvious. He is holding the middle and lower classes and anyone who looks different hostage to his greed and power.

What are taxes for?

What are our taxes really for? Are they to pay profits to private contractors to fight our wars or incarcerate our citizens. Are they for privatizing all manner of public services so a corporation can make a profit. I think not. And paying for gilded golf vacations at Trump's own properties seems criminal when he is rolling back regulations and cutting the taxes used to help common citizens.

Distain shows Mr. Trump's Ignorance...

Mr. Trump mocks "global warming" by joking about how cold it is along the east coast. His attempts at humor simply show his ignorance and disdain for science and scientists.

Make it be a great year!

I do realize that what I dream of as a better world is different from what our President aspires to. But, this is a New Year and we will not sit idly by. This is a year of elections, of looking inward at how we have been complicit, and facing forward toward a brave new world of our creation. Let's make it be a great year!

What is my legacy?

It is not easy living a life congruent to our values. Each little temptation or irritation or "covetation" (I know, it's not a real word.) tempts our human side to sidestep our ideals, "Just this one time." If there is just-this-once it becomes easier the next time. Are we perfect? Of course not! But, we need to keep our focus on our ideals.
