***** I am horrified by the heartlessness that Americans are displaying to our Syrian family. But I must recognize that those showing such apparent heartlessness are also the most educationally, economically, financially, empathically disabled among us.  And as usual, the most advantaged of us in these categories sit black and blame them rather than rolling up their sleeves to try and help. This blaming of our most disadvantaged white brothers and sisters in America by we more advantaged is why they hate us so much. No, our charity, our crumbs that we allow to fall to them, does not count. Before all of the ugly, fascist takeovers, there was the nice advantaged folks like us. Giving platitudes rather than real help.

Here Are 5 American Leaders Standing Against the Fear of Syrian Refugees Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama, and three governors push back against the rising tide of anti-refugee sentiment.

***** I live in Washington DC. I am NOT terrified of a terrorist attack as has been threatened. I am NOT terrified of dying. I am NOT even terrified of my physical suffering, anymore. I am terrified of a country that is almost completely devoid of courageous Loving. I am terrified of the most powerful country on earth being almost completely devoid of people devoting their lives, their being, their wealth, their safety... To tackle the true suffering in this country and on earth. It absolutely terrifies, horrifies, depresses me... almost beyond being bearable.

***** The primary fight is between the rule of law, democratic process... And the rule of force, war, guns,  military power, financial power. In fact: Most importantly, most fundamentally... the right wingers (irrespective of religion, nationality, race...) have selected opposition to the process of democracy and rule by law. Presumably they feel more certain of defeat with the rule of law and democratic process than the with rule of force. Think is real. Think gun zealots. Think religious fundamentalists. Think capitalists....  and the Liberals: think academic prowess, ability to outscore others on tests, superior ability to win employment....

Whores: in my 25 year professional executive career I knew many many many whores. Virtually all wore business suits, expensive, and virtually all were male. They sold their bodies and souls to the highest bidder. No sex was involved in the transaction.
