General Discussion

It feels good to be heard. Just as a funeral mourns the death of a loved one, we are mourning the death of an era. And in doing so, perhaps giving it new life. We are challenged to protest again, to resist again, to lift up our voices in song to present an ideal with hearts full and belief that good and love will triumph, as we believed in the 60s. To pick up the baton that the original OP has handed us, that my father has handed us, deserving of stepping down and trusting us with the mission they (and others) pursued all their lives.

The challenges today are more severe than ever, but I believe that sending out the energy of love over fear is powerful. Hate will not win. Trump is running from fear of prosecution/bankruptcy and he thinks retribution is the answer. A man who doesn't understand compassion or love cannot triumph in the end. Our job is to mitigate the damage and suffering on the road to victory.
