It is rare for me to say anything political on this blog - its supposed to be about art and story and ordinary things - but I can't help it today.
I went to bed last night feeling down!
And a bit scared.
Relieved that Ted Cruz was off the boards - -
But -
we are Trumped!
I know I have to stop watching TV News coverage - particularly CNN - which has become the TRUMP network.... where dull panelists with high pitched voices are cat calling at each other.
Some people lament that the Republican Party has imploded itself - -
Why the lament?
They have done it to themselves -- and to the rest of the country - as they stalled the Congress.
You know what this means -
Until November the talk on television will be crude, rude, and uncivil - - insulting and bullying.
In the worst case - it could continue for the next four years.
While the rest of the county tries to survive.....
In the 1990s our son was living in the Czech Republic - just after it opened up. Jim and I went over for a visit. I took the opportunity to interview some artists - where I heard stories of what it had been like to live in a world where you were afraid to talk out loud to anyone about what you believed - -
and how opening up now was not comfortable because trust had been destroyed.

You and I have the benefit of being able to look back over many decades in order to make some sense of what is happening today. We have all been in a hard place before, politically. Eventually, once the storm has passed, there is always improvement and growth. We will get through this and move on.
Maybe so - but there is another element in tmiscampaign and it is rampant misogyny - - I am listening to Charlile Rose right now - a discussion of how smart Trump is as A MAN who knows ------- its a game to men - they have the sensitivity of rocks.
